Stop Stop or Go Go! ??

Damp rwy reported all the time in Europe.
With the 737 800 on long trips from some medium rwys, I hate using wet figures when it is realy dry and often grooved.
Why? Because I would like to do a rejected T/ O rather then go airborne with the problem.
So , I end up on the gras doing 4 knot, bu hu.
With the crew we fly with these days, I give it a 50 - 50 chance of survival if we have a engine fail or never mind severe damage and fire.
The notion of, " I would rather go airborne then risk a critical RTO to me is interesting.
Going airborne when rwy limited is no picknic. Rather taxi in for a coffee and quick debrief.

Then again I do live in a simple world.
