I was always surprised when people chose to split.The only way you're leaving that show with money is if the other person chooses to split. And if they do choose to split, you might as well take the lot.

That's a fair point.I mean, with split you can only win half, and with steal you can win everything, so even before the other person's decision, that's essentially saying 'stealing is win.'
The motivation to split is trusting someone else, appealing to their better nature whilst being selfless, which isn't really in the gameshow ethos.
As I side note, I would pay good money to see a DVD collection of all the violent outbursts that come from the bitter splitters.
Personally I couldn't with any conscience steal and let that be the end of it, I'd like to imagine a world where the winner at least gives the loser the bus fare home - but then again I don't think I'm exactly fodder for this programme.

Ah... but game theory says you should always split (if last night's QI is to be believed)
