What you should really be talking about is comparing winrate to stdev(or variance). That would be an interesting metric to investigate.

This isn't an "interesting metric to investigate," this is the central metric to bankroll management and other long-term variance considerations. Even if you win a ton of money, if your winrate/SD ratio lower than .05, you will occasionally have losing years. With a winrate/SD ratio higher than .20, you're unlikely to ever have a losing month.

Exactly.

So what's the answer.
