The thousands of bets refers to one criteria, to give better odds that a mechanical system will not fall over.
This has to be part of the structure not all.
That's not to say a few hundred bets won't work, but how many systems based on a few hundred bets will be around in 5 years time.
There are no mechanical systems, that I know of, that have failed which satisfied all the criteria.
There are hundreds which failed to satisfy just one part of the criteria, and wound up as toilet paper.
