The only loss when taking the options is the opportunity cost of not taking the pay rise(s). An option gives the right but not the obligation to exercise (buy or sell shares) at a specified price. If the company does badly, you don't exercise the option, if it does well... you do and profit from the difference between the market price and the exercise price of the option.
The price could 'go against you' depending on the exercise price of the option and it's maturity. Depending on the type of option, it might only be elligible for exercising on e.g. Sep 1 2008. If at that point it's below your price (on a call (buy) option)), you can't profit and don't exercise.

whats a pay rise?

It's a gamble. If it were me I'd go for the options. You could make a fortune or you could lose out ( but it's unlikely you'd go away with nothing). Unless you really need a pay rise, go for a gamble, you never know!!!

Take the options-you don't have to exercise them if the company's share price goes against you

take the money.

I would go for the pay rise, then you can save/invest the extra in what ever you like.
The danger of going for the options (shares) is when the company does badly you will end up losing our.
