If a system has limited selections (100-500) over a period of 11 years but still producing a positive POT, is a newbie looking at generating other systems better off looking at systems with 1000+ selections and a smaller POT even if over a period of 2-3 years.

Which would give you more confidence of a future profit?

A) Testing over 11 years with a positive POT but 100-500 bets (More variables in system)
B) 1000+ selections over 3-4 years with a positive POT. (3-5 Variables in a system)

Cheers
