Most of the time, the risk/reward just isn't there in a match. You could try to win it, but its not like you'll get much from it (excluding ranked, don't surrender there).

Then again, I had a game where I was 50cs ahead in top lane but 0/0/0. Team surrendered because they lost 1 dragon fight (I had failed to show up), and then kept getting picked off in the jungle. We were only like 6 kills behind, but the team surrendered and blamed me for picking Nunu top.
