This is exactly correct. You can calculate the EV of this proposition bet through the following formula. (The formula assumes you are playing a dominated pair, and that if you win, you get a bigger bankroll, but you dont step up into a higher earning game. It also assumes that if you lose, you will need to rebuild, and that you will therefore suffer an opportunity cost from not playing your normal game):
EV = (80% x BRtotal) - (20% x BRtotal) - (20% x opportunity cost of going bust)
The problem with the people saying it is a clear yes, is that they are putting no value on the opportunity cost you will suffer if you go broke.
