General,

This type of analysis would be accurate if the only variance was in win percentage and the payoffs were constant. That is clearly not the case in the real world. Payoffs for any selection method have a very large variance which makes for a much larger required sample size. It's not clear to me how to combine both types of variance into a useful formula, but maybe someone here with a better knowledge of statistics than myself could comment on this.
