Default How Many

I'm often asked about sample size of a system for confidence.

Some say 100, some say 1,000, some say 10,000, while of course it depends on the odds, if you're targetting 50/1 shots, 100 certainly won't be enough, and if you're targetting even money shots, 10,000 is way too much research.

The best rule is 100 winners.
