A little noise to nudge people into taking risk

I listened to Aaron Brown present his idea that for an exchange to be efficient the deals need to be incentivised with a chance of large payouts. This makes sense to me, what is more motivating: Getting the average every times or getting a random return but with the chance of a high value? I think human nature cannot accept the hard reality of what an average return implies and naturally will search for risk in order to give him a chance for a better return.
