How long is a piece of string? Everybody is going to give a different answer to these questions.

One feature of the "perfect" betting system is that it's returns must be relative to the amount of time spent producing them i.e. if I spend all of Friday doing form study for Saturday's meetings and then spend all Saturday working those selections, I'd expect my Saturday returns to be higher than if I simply employed a bot to pick all the selections and do the work for me.

The perfect system is one that doesn't lose money. Compounding does everything else.
