Percentages?

I know that, in general, when playing BJ the player wins about 44% of the time, loses 48% of the time and pushes 8% of the time.
I'm curious,within the 44% of winning hands, does anyone know (or can calculate) what part of the wins are by actually beating the dealer, as opposed to a dealer bust.
p.s. on a side note, I played for 2 hours earlier tonight and ended up down only $18.50. (I'm a red chip player.) I suppose I should count myself lucky because I had one blackjack in first 80 minutes--and it was a push! However, I did manage to get 3 BJs in the last 40 minutes.
