What are risky investments?
The risk factor is down to the potential to lose the money which was invested. Most investors see it as a risk but the possible gain outweighs the potential loss (usually). To be blunt about it, basically ALL investments have an element of risk involved. The level of the risk however, is something that varies. I read a great article on InvestorBee regarding which level of investment risk would suit your budget. Here it is: https://investorbee.com/blog/blog/2011/november/risky-business.aspx

VaR serves as a standard method to compare risks across different investments and helps in meeting regulatory requirements for risk management.

How would you decide what level of risk is acceptable?
You weigh in potential gain and likely probability of gain and amount and likely probability of a potential loss. For example: 1) To bet 100$ with 51% chance of winning 200$ and 49% loosing is an acceptable risk 2) To bet 100$ with 1% chance of winning 12000$ is also an acceptable risk 3) To bet 100$ with 30% chance of winning 300$ is not an acceptable risk I understand that you question probably does not relate to money, but I think it is easier to see the point that way. In real situations you would have to estimate probabilities and compare potemtial gains and losses.
