Let's say this is a scenario (the actual numbers and cards don't matter; they are just for an example):
I want to know if, at a certain count, one should hit a 7,7 v 8 or split a 7,7 vs 8.
You have a $10 bet out.
1. If you hit, on average you get a total of $14 back (so your bankroll goes up $4).
2. If you split, you will have $20 out (since you had to increase your wager to split the hand), and on average you will get back a total of $26 (so your bankroll goes up $6).
Now here is my question:
In 1. you increase your bankroll by $4 on average, and won 40% of your bet.
In 2. you increase your bankroll by $6 on average, but only won 30% of your bet.
Which is the better play?
Also, same question, in principle, for doubled hands.
