What's the difference of the usage of "chance" between these two sentences?
Although I know these two sentences both sound grammatically correct, I somehow sense that there's slight difference between them but can't really tell for sure. I feel like when it comes to negative negative things/possibilities, the second way seems to be preferable.1.you need to know all the things you have to do to minimize the chance of you getting caught.2.you need to know all the things you have to do to minimize the chance that you might/will get caught.I need a clarification. Will be thankful for your help.

Question

Answer

chance in both these sentences mean the same thing : probability/odds
the difference between the two is that the second one emphasizes the potential of being caught with a "might". In my opinion it's too much and the first sentence is preferable.
