The difference in going for it at the 28 vs. the 50 only affects the odds of the other team scoring if you don't make it. It's been accounted for.
Further, there's no reason he should get blame for making the correct decision just because it didn't work out. If you're playing blackjack and you stand on 20 on the dealer's 15, and the dealer draws a 6, you don't deserve blame, you just got unlucky when making the correct decision.
