Velocity – Significance of averaging.

As I was splitting the remaining/partially done stories to the next sprint I wondered what would happen to the story points. Because the task estimates are getting split and carried forward whereas the story point remains the same for both the sprints. 

Further, if a sprint is going to accumulate a few heavy stories from previous sprints and get credited in the current sprint then what would happen to the velocity? So, 

•It is important to consider the average velocity when you take a shot on SWAG.
•Story points completed in a sprint may not reflect the effectiveness of a sprint.
