Rolling the dice - it may work, it may not. Your chances of getting YC'd without it, however, are apparently nil. If you do get funded and don't get along, you can always split up, and it'll be like the group projects in school where one person had to do all the work while everyone else flaked. ;)

The companies that split have turned out to be failures (with the exception of reddit). Try to pick a good co-founder.

So, while it's true that you'll probably fail if you get choose a poor co-founder, it's also true that you'll probably fail without a co-founder. In the end the result is that you're working alone, which is a bad place to be.
