It's not that they like risk the are just more willing to invest at high risk than most people. Would you drop 10 Million for a 1 in 500 chance of 10 Billion dollars? It's a good bet bet but it can take a while before your first hit.

Would I spend 1e7 make an investment with an expected value of 1e9*(1/.5e3) = 2e6?

Hm, on closer inspection, I would for 10 billion and an average 2x return. I sure that wish I could delete both these comments.
