If you actually place the bet, you believe the $15 payout is not only “possible” but even “more likely” that other bets available to you. If we define “expect” as 50%+ odds then no, if we define it as “I can see how this could happen” then yes.

A $20M Series A requires those investors to believe the startup can get to $1B for the math to work out for a typical fund.

Nobody has ever defined or proposed defining "expect" as "I can see how this could happen" until just now. Not only does "expect" imply 50%+ odds, it implies something like 90%+ odds. It implies that you would be surprised if it didn't happen (because you were expecting it to happen).
