Sample size
The number of bets behind a statistic. Small samples are dominated by luck: a 60% win rate over 50 bets is weak evidence, over 1,000 bets it is compelling. Higher-variance sports (hockey, baseball) require materially larger samples than basketball or football before any conclusion holds.
