Rather than betting on success or failure, the logical way is to go for the highest average return (with obvious exceptions for maxing out--no sense putting +5 when you only need +2). The wikiwiki Modernization page, linked above, shows that you generally want to be putting in multiples of 5 to every stat if possible, since you'll get an average of +0.9 per point in the long run.
