But even by your numbers, it's still clear you're laying 3:1. The difference between a 4way and 3way (according to your numbers) is ~8.33, and the difference between a 4way and a loss is ~25. You still are risking 3 times what you stand to gain (again, assuming you even value draws this way).

If as you say, Chris, there is a chance that the game dynamic will change because of the stab, then I would give it a shot.

Why is "draw whittling" a pointless waste of time. Doesn't a 3 way draw increase your ranking by more than a 4 way draw?

Since, outside of a tournament context, I don't care about rating/ranking, I want to spend my limited Dip time where it will be useful, that is, where I have a chance to solo.
