That's what I thought too, but no one has questioned Thanos yet being as powerful as he is and having the armies he is in control of he can afford to gamble. It's not neccisarily a bad gamble when only a few know the power and potential of the gem and by sending 1 away you can get 2 back, but unfortunately that gamble cost him both the Tesseract and the Scepter because of the Avengers, which might be the plot for Avengers 3 and why he would go to earth, to kill the Avengers and take back what's his. Just speculation...
