Yes it would be fine. I have had experience with bettas with goldfish. Goldfish can be placed in warm water. I have two bettas ( male & female ) in my 30 gallon with platies and goldfish so they will be fine.
i'd be more worried about the goldfish bugging him, they tend to get curious and might nibble at those long slow moving fins. mine kept taking pop shots at my white clouds, loaches and sunfish until they figured out that 1) they couldn't catch them and 2) the was a lot easier sources of food. after about a week they settled down and stopped trying to taste everybody, that could really damage a betta.

Way to stunt your fish.
The goldfish will eventually pick on the betta. I've seen 6 inch comets chase smaller feeders, trying to eat them.
I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Aggression aside, your comet will definitely outcompete the Betta for food... I can't see how the poor Betta could get any food with a big comet in the tank.
A Betta should be in warmer water too... like 82*. I keep my goldfish at 72-74 degrees. They can probably survive in warm water, but their lifespan will decrease and they will most likely be more susceptible to disease and insufficient oxygen supply in the warm water.
I wouldn't try!

No, 72 is way too low for a betta. The heater died on one of my betta tanks awhile ago and I didn't notice for several days since I wasn't here much until my betta suddenly looked to be getting cloudeye.
Bettas are NOT meant to stay in water that cold.
The other issue is the goldfish may pick on or even try to eat the betta.
These aren't compatable fish at all. Your betta will be much happier in that 10 with a heater.
