Or maybe (as Paul might suggest) its not different if one could find a package of these types of situations such that the odds can work in your favor. If its just one individual issue, then perhaps it is closer to betting than investing.

"Maybe the line is drawn with the degree of uncertainty of the bet/investment?

Or maybe it is related to the type of wager. Your original posting talked about weighing the odds of BK and losing all your investment vs no BK and a 4 bagger. If the odds are 50-50, take the bet, you suggest."
