DFS Q&A: How many min uniques do I set for a classic NFL main slate?
30 Sep 2024
00:27:27
In this episode, Andrew discusses the optimal min uniques settings with the recent updates.
00:00 Intro 07:28 How do you know whether or not to late swap with large batch entries 12:33 With the new updates to SS, what is the consensus about how many min uniques to set for a classic NFL main slate? 17:50 Does the app function as an optimizer in how it decides to construct that large pool for a user? 21:28 Do you think using the dupes to filter out lineups for NFL showdown and for small slates is a good idea? 24:00 What are your thoughts on changing the scores of the game on the "Games" tab?
00:00 Intro 01:25 How do you handle a game where rain could be an issue in NFL? 04:00 What would cause you to adjust a player's projection in NFL? 07:35 Do you think it’s a good idea to target low-owned QB stacks? 17:30 What are the best Stack exposures for NFL? 19:55 Where can you change your metric with the new SaberSim?
00:00 Intro 01:30 I was reviewing my lineups last night and noticed some very low projected players as the last fill-in for NFL showdown. Do I need to filter them post-build as well as pre-build? 04:45 Understanding the DFS Profit Plan 12:35 If we use our own custom projections/ownership for a sport like CFB, would you recommend creating a custom field based on that info to sim against? 16:45 Is there a simple way to explain what differences you think exist in a high-stakes field lineup set used to sim a contest vs a lower-stakes one? 20:10 Can you show that filter you use at the beginning of the show and explain what it does? 22:00 Why isn't information such as the SIM median, maximum, etc., available with the pre-lock SIM information?
00:00 Intro 01:46 Can we go over ways to differentiate from the field on showdown builds? 07:20 Is there a way to differentiate stack types by Captain? 10:00 You reviewed my lineups a day ago and the feedback was great. I now have a Wheaton regarding pool percentage post-build. Should I be aiming to meet that in any way? 13:25 On a showdown slate, would you recommend, on let’s say 350 lineups playing, one min unique or two? 19:42 Do we need to rebuild lineups every time or just rerun the contest sim? 22:35 How much exposure is too much for 1 player? 25:14 If there have not been any player projection updates, do we need to run a late swap? 27:08 Why do the min ROIs change (usually for the worse and often into the negative) when toggling between direct and autofill? 29:15 When filling multiple contests on autofill, what aggregate metrics are we seeing there? unique stats chosen from all lineups filled in that set of contests?
00:00 Intro 01:30 I've noticed when performing a stock build the ownership defaults to flagship MME. There is the option with the gear symbol to change this. I’ve never seen coaches talk about this, is this something that should be adjusted before creating a build? 08:10 I'm playing one Low Stakes Single-Entry Contest, but want to play a lineup that also grades out well against Med and High Stakes fields. Would I create two additional Custom Contest Sims, one for Med Stakes, and one for High Stakes? 13:20 I've noticed that aggregate metrics do not show for tennis, nor F1 since the UI update is that in the work, or was it disabled? 17:22 Any chance to see the PGA Presidents Cup lines since pricing came out?
00:00 Intro 01:18 Can you possibly explain what exactly happens when you change "rank by" in the auto-fill tab for your contests? 05:05 For NFL I tried giving LateSwap a try this week before the late games. Does late swapping replace everyone who hasn't played or will it leave lineups unchanged that it views as optimal? 06:48 How do you add randomness in the sims? 10:44 When late swapping it doesn’t matter on the fill order, right? 13:52 ROI lineups would only seen in the Ultimate and not the Starter? 16:11 Under contest flashback, does it use a live contest instead of the one I used before the contests went live? 17:52 Is there any way to manually change the projected duplication of a lineup before the sims?
00:00 Intro 06:18 Can someone explain the max, med, and min roi destinations that are showing up on lineups, please? 18:03 Let's say I have two builds (a low stake and a high stake), can we late swap them all at the same time? 20:54 I am still having a difficult time grasping Auto-Fill for multiple contest entries, could you go over that process? 33:00 Can you go over your NFL DFS process? 46:00 If you added another filter for contest sims, specifically the one to get ROI greater than 0, would it be possible for you to lose all lineups? 47:40 Should I make adjustments at the salary level for MNF considering leaving salary can be a way to avoid being duped? 49:06 How are min uniques and diversification a good thing? 52:20 Best way to use the sims, playing contests under flagship MME and SE?
00:00 Intro 01:20 When I include “free” contests in my Sims it often skews the ROI metrics solidly into negative territory. Other than not including them and filling them later after the pay contests fill, are there any other adjustments to include them in autofill but not have them drag down metrics when working on builds? 03:24 On the old build if I wanted to have the same lineup in multiple single entries and have 1 under lineups, does single fill do that now or is there a different way to have a duplicated lineup like before? 05:30 If I have a couple of players I want in a lineup is it best to wait till after the sims run and then up their exposure? 06:40 If you are not on the Ultimate plan, is late swapping beneficial if there are no players ruled out or significant projection changes? 07:22 What is the significance of the Max, Med, and Min Destination after Contest Sims is built? 09:25 I late swapped with direct fill last night but did not know it sorts by average ROI across all the contests. Do you think the best alternative would just be selecting all the contests I Want to swap first?
What Are Min, Average, and Max ROI, and When Should You Use Them?
20 Sep 2024
00:33:36
In this episode, Andrew explains the differences between min, average, and max ROI and shows you when to use each metric for better lineups.
00:00 Intro 02:05 Let's say I am setting a rule of under e.g. 20% is it possible to add a sub-rule or less than 5% for the NFL showdown or will they conflict with each other? 06:40 For NFL, I know we can select what we like for primary and secondary what will be the approach for 3rd mini stack? 11:36 When adjusting the min unique shouldn't the Avg. Projected score change along with the Avg. Projected ROI? 18:05 Multifill fills in based on the best Roi for each contest, correct? 20:00 Can you review the ideal/ most +EV ordering of contests in auto-fill before filling? 22:27 Question about the new SaberSim-- sometimes the aggregate measurements don’t show up. 23:30 When saving to contests on autofill, I've been changing the “Rank By” to each contest ROI, but I have noticed several office hours where the simple blended ROI is used. 25:10 Can you please explain min, average, and max destination ROI, and when/why to choose those metrics to look at? 27:38 Are you okay with playing QB+4 stacks in NFL DFS or do you uncheck anything higher than QB+3? 32:05 If I am sorting my lineups by "Build ROI" and then I use Auto-Fill, is SaberSim respecting my sorting method when filling contests?
00:00 Intro 01:28 Can you demo how to do a late swap in FanDuel? 07:52 Can you briefly describe how SaberSim comes up with the differences in the different levels of ownership for stakes? 10:12 Can you briefly touch on the Direct Fill in the new SaberSim? 16:35 When late swapping on the old app the lineup count would auto-correct to # of swaps available...On the new app if I set the lineup count to 500, it doesn't autocorrect, what is the recommended approach? 19:12 Could you show me how to make a group in MLB that would require one-offs to project for at least seven points?
00:00 Intro 01:18 Is there anything different you need to do if you are playing Cash in the new SaberSim? 03:36 Why did the winning lineup of the Monday night Milly Maker show a -5% Sim ROI, but when I ran the sims before the start of the slate the exact same lineup showed as +119.7% SIM ROI? 06:18 If I’m playing multiple contests such as single entry, 100-man's, and large field. How do I go about getting the right lineups into the right contest in auto-fill? 08:02 What’s the difference between Flagship Lineups and the other lineup options? 12:00 Is multi-fill only available on desktop? 13:15 If I'm only playing Low Stakes contests on a given slate, should I switch the My Own gear to Low Stakes only Pre-Build?
00:00 Intro 01:11 When clicking on a player and viewing their frequency/FPS averages, what additional information should I consider when evaluating the players they are listed to correlate with? 05:50 Just to clarify, you won't know the exact exposures of players on multi-fill (auto-fill) until after you fill your contests, correct? 07:20 When building lineups for a smaller contest (less than 5,000), is it advisable to use the number of lineups in that contest instead? 08:28 If I’m playing multiple 20-max contests and using autofill to fill my entries how do I play a few of the same higher ROI lineups that I like in the other contest since it doesn’t dupe lineups across entries? 09:34 Is it better to do 20 entries into 1 multi-entry contest, or 20 entries into 20 single-entry contests? 11:36 How do you all interpret the results when simming your build against itself in MLB? 15:12 In NFL Showdown, it seems that limiting dupes in large field contests tanks your 99th % profit. In the $3 20-max, I had a top 10 sim win rate and positive Sim ROI, but my 99th % profit was horrendous. Do you have any insight as to why this is? 16:45 Can you show me how to create a rule that doesn't allow a player to be played with another player? 18:17 I've been adjusting my min-max exposures in the Direct Fill, and then switching over to Auto Fill to save my lineups. Is this correct? 19:06 Could we go over a late swap build? 25:30 Do I need to change my sim settings to live before swapping? 29:00 Do you use the favorite feature at all? Are there any rules of thumb for it or just a simple way to staple a lineup you want to take a shot on?
00:00 Intro 04:27 When I use a filter to sort ROI greater than 0, I end up with only 300 lineups out of 5000. Is that normal? 09:55 How do I calculate the max exposure of a player to set so that I get no more than 30% leverage on the player if I am getting more than 30% leverage after my build? 16:10 Why did the autofill generate an entirely different set of lineups compared to the direct fill? 21:33 If I have several contests and use the new SaberSim, is there a way that I can run builds, contest sims, set stack types, etc for each individual contest as opposed to all of them being done at the same time? 23:23 Can I get some advice on sorting metrics? 25:25 What will the condition be for running low-stake MME vs 20-max? 26:52 Auto-Fill vs Direct-Fill 28:34 If you do not have the Ultimate plan will it still recognize the best contest to put the lineup in if you use autofill? 30:48 How can I effectively incorporate my personal perspective into game/field simulations? 34:42 In the Autofill Rank, it lists ROI by default. Should we be changing that to rank by the specific entry?
00:00 Intro 01:30 How come my average projections and ROI change when I save to contests is it something I'm doing using unique random instead of unique rank? 07:05 In the new app, if I wanted to just play a 3-max and put those 3 lineups into a 150-max too, how do I do that? 10:39 After using target ROI how far should I push my min uniques for NFL DFS? 12:12 I was just making my early MLB lineups and I noticed they changed the multi-fill to auto-fill. How do I use this feature correctly? 14:16 Are there any rules or filters you're using for NFL DFS? 15:30 If I use auto-fill with MLB, multiple contests, and I have a team five-man stacks capped at 20%, SS should cap at 20% inside as well as across all contests, correct?
00:00 Intro 01:42 Any helpful tutorials? 03:50 How can I make sure one of my favorite lineups is in each contest? 06:40 Is there a convenient way to game stack for a contest in MLB? 08:12 If I'm running a build for high stakes single entry and I want to see each tournament's top 20 lineups and then select a single lineup out of the 20. What is the best way? 09:16 I've realized that managing diversifiers effectively is beyond my current understanding, could you direct me to a tutorial? 11:20 When I'm doing Late Swaps does the simulator take into consideration if the locked players in your lineup performed poorly and therefore surround them with lower-owned players?
00:00 Intro 01:44 I’m seeking bankroll-building tips. 04:08 How do you approach contest sims when you have a variety of contests playing between flagship, low, and high stakes? 07:42 When using custom metrics with Target ROI and multifilling, is this using the ROI for each specific contest? 09:49 How do I compare the quality of a build vs. another build? 13:50 When using Target ROI in a filter, is this using the average of all the custom sims I've run? 17:06 Is sim ROI in post-build the only way to measure/reassure yourself that you are doing the right things even though you are constantly losing money? 22:20 When muti-fill should you still use the filter roi greater than 0? 22:35 In what scenarios do you want to use the sim vs. the optimizer? 22:57 Is there an advantage of using single-fill or multi-fill?
00:00 Intro 01:07 Is there any merit to filling single entry contests via single fill + min uniques to diversify my single entries? 02:30 What is the best way to get the optimal cash lineup? 04:00 If I do custom projections, is it still okay to run against SaberSim ownership and field lineups? 05:38 I had an interesting anomaly, usually when you adjust the min uniques the project score drops, mine actually went up from 1 unique to 2. Thoughts? 07:15 When I rebuild lineups and save them, they are not swapping out under the contest tab. 08:20 Is anyone in the SaberSim group or community experimenting with playing almost every NFL slate to capture ROI in a “smoother” way? 12:10 How to use the leverage column vs ownership of the field and adjust exposures 17:50 For showdown how would I create this rule? I want to limit only 1 Def or K from the game unless paired with the QB/opponent's QB. 19:45 How do I Create a Single-Entry lineup on the new site for a contest with only/ 100 entrants? 22:13 If you have a negative leverage player and it's a player you want more exposure to, how do you make that adjustment? 23:23 If filtering negative roi lineups means eliminating more than half of your pool would you then allow negative roi lineups into your pool? 24:49 For showdown how do you create a rule that each lineup must include 1 of the following x players, assuming I have a list of certain players?
00:00 Intro 01:15 Do you have any suggestions to add value for Showdown and/or control dupes a little better or has Showdown evolved to the point of trusting the sims? 02:24 How do you know how many dupes you don't want while still being reasonable? I 02:44 Do you get rid of the top 10-20% lineups using the geomean? 10:45 How does changing min uniques affect the lineups entered into contests? 13:40 Should I still change min uniques in the new SaberSim? 17:05 After I build lineups, if I leave all contests checked and save under Single Fill, is it essentially the same as using Multi-fill? If not, what’s different? 19:00 When a player is ruled out, you guys suggest hitting the red lightning bolt apply the suggested players to replace and save your lineup. Is there a reason why you’re supposed to apply it first? 20:31 I could not figure out how to switch to the live field during Sunday's NFL main slate.
00:00 Intro 06:15 How does SaberSim account for having a reasonably sized player pool? 13:00 How do I limit team stacks to only include stacks with QB? 14:22 Can you go through or link me to using SS with DraftKings? 20:57 Can you explain with the new SaberSim how or if you need to do separate builds for the contests with different entry sizes or structures? 22:42 While using the new fill is it recommended to still use unique random or go back to unique rank or even rank? 24:40 How does Unique rank work on SaberSim? 25:25 Do you recommend still running geomean rules or are the beta improvements expected to better predict dupes for showdown main GPP? 26:34 Can you explain how to get to Captain/VIP area? 27:40 Can you go over flashback for Showdown? 28:24 Can you talk a bit more about how single vs multi-fill works when using it with contest sims? 36:10 Is there a way to create a rule with multiple conditions? 38:45 Is it better to go with the projected score with a higher sim? 43:10 What happens when we project a low-projected player in showdown but SaberSim doesn't have a projection for that player?
00:00 Intro 01:30 If I create a geomean rule for all builds to have a geo mean ownership less than 25, for example, is it to be expected that average projections go way down? 04:30 Please explain how the Single-fill option works in the new SIM Format. 10:25 Should I eliminate showdown contests from my NFL play this season to preserve my bankroll? 15:02 How do I make a rule for a bringback of a specific position?
00:00 Intro 02:04 On the new Saber Sim page, where/ how do I select 'Single-entry' and '3-max' as contest types? 02:55 If I generate 1 lineup, can I feel comfortable entering that 1 lineup in a SE 5-man and a single-entry with 1,000 people? 04:50 Could you please go over the best way to fill cash games & GPP with the new SaberSim? 05:50 For the NFL showdown, what filters are optimal? Would you reduce your pool by filtering out the 10-20% of lowest projections and the 10-20% highest owned lineups? 08:50 What does this (Small Slate | 100-1k) setting refer to? 10:00 When building for a specific contest is it recommended to make any adjustments at all to go with what the build has? 11:30 How do you save lineups to favorite in the new version? Secondly, are you able to use the multi-entry feature from your favorites? 13:33 How does it work that once the contest sims have run you add a filter for roi greater than 1 in target contest or dupes. How does it filter the whole pool as some would be valid for certain contests and some for others? 17:00 What is the difference in rank and unique rank? 18:39 If I have completed and uploaded my lineups to DraftKings, and decide to enter a couple more contests, what is the best practice to upload the new contests to SaberSim without overriding the existing contests? 19:53 What does it mean if the Sim ROI is negative? 24:00 Simple way of using multi-fill vs single-fill? 27:05 Often when I play MLB single entry, I like a certain team or stack that is different from my larger field GPPs. Since the new SaberSim groups all the builds together, how would you do this? 28:09 Is there a way to go back to the past slate to see how your build did overall? 30:10 When will contest flashback be available for yesterday’s Milly? 31:24 In the beta, I don't have the ability to edit any Sim Settings. Do I just need to wait for those to populate? 32:40 How much am I impacting my ROI by limiting exposures?
00:00 Intro 01:25 With the new SaberSim how do I duplicate a lineup? 05:54 If I wanted to enter 6 three max contests and double up the entries so two contests have the same entries, how do I do that in the new SaberSim? 08:00 Can you explain the filter to get rid of lineups with less than zero percent ROI? 10:30 Can you expand on and clarify, why with the new SaberSim, is there no longer a need for the builder to know if it is a GGP v a satellite and/or a single, 3 max, 20 max, or 150 entry? 12:50 How do you get the new builder to default rank by “small slate” etc instead of projection? Also, where is the latest sim run time on new builder? 14:30 For NFL main slate, what’s the best way to make rules such as QB + at least 1 pass catcher. 16:30 Do you have to use single fill? Since each contest will have a different amount of dupes based on entries? 19:00 Can you go the optimal way to enter separate contests with the beta? 20:50 Is Unique Random no longer a sorting option, and when using Multi-fill do we want to sort by Unique Rank as opposed to Rank? 22:08 Chris mentioned “average ROI” in the update video. Is this taking average ROI from multiple contest sims? does it do this automatically or do I have to select a setting 23:21 I've noticed that new FD slate but cannot upload the contests, is it there a way around it? 23:50 Is Unique Random no longer a sorting option, and when using Multi-fill do we want to sort by Unique Rank as opposed to Rank?
00:00 Intro 01:20 Is the single-game NFL Contest Sim taking into account the likelihood of ties for first? 11:40 What settings do you guys recommend for cash lineups? 12:15 I have a Beta question. I have several contests for NFL SD tomorrow and I wanted to use a GeoMean filter, is there a way to use one GM for all contests or is it best to find a way to do each contest individually? 13:00 DFS Profit Plan and Bankroll 16:13 In Beta, is there not a need to ever use the "My Own" tab again with contest selection like what was done in the past? 17:52 What is the best way to set rules for showdown? 19:50 As my bankroll grows, when should I ditch contests like the Quarter Jukebox? 21:58 Can you use the simulator on an iPhone? 22:42 Do you like Sears 5k tonight? 25:45 If you want to see the optimal cash lineup for the week is there a way to do that on the optimizer or just keep hand building it?
00:00 Intro 01:50 With the NFL right around the corner, could you walk through the correct settings for an NFL showdown slate? 14:08 Is the mini-MAX challenge a go for this season? 15:04 How do I get a build to be a filter metric and be able to sim against it it? 16:25 When is it best to generate final contest lineups for the NFL Sunday main slate? 18:34 Can you go over the MLB process? 21:22 Does everyone have access to the beta? 26:28 When should I start building to make sure I get most of the contest sims in?
00:00 Intro 02:14 Can you talk a little about custom metrics normalized value-max scaled value and the others on what they can do? 09:21 How would you recommend setting up contest simulations for satellite contests that don't have predefined sims? 10:45 Sometimes when I run builds in between slates or sports, I get these messages what do they mean and how shall I approach them? 12:10 Is it important to use projection/ownership filters to differentiate my lineup portfolio instead of just using the basic SaberScore for MLB? 14:50 Are the exposures now set to based upon what lineups you are saving to? 16:48 I don’t see multiplier or double-up contests in the contest sim payout structure selector/ How do I construct a custom ‘cash’ type contest sim? 19:22 How can I Incorporate a metric that accounts for player ownership projections? 22:14 What’s the best strategy for a 5-man contest on FanDuel? 23:25 How would you approach building SD lineups for CFB tonight? 28:25 Could you give a reminder about what product (geomean) does in custom metrics? 32:17 When late swapping do we have to check the live ownership setting?
00:00 Intro 03:08 What is the Games tab? 10:15 There was a discussion about not having to use min uniques after the change in Discord. But sims have changed again, are uniques necessary again for diversification? 15:05 When is a good time to use SaberSim late swap, if your original field is a custom field? 17:07 Any ownership filter you recommend?
00:00 Intro 01:20 What dollar amount constitutes low medium and high stakes? 04:30 How do I prepare an MLB showdown slate without always including both pitchers? 09:55 Will an NFL video be coming out soon? 10:25 What seems to be the most common way people have changed their way of playing since the new update came out? 12:41 Are self-sims still relevant? 22:10 Is there a good way you rank your favorite stacks?
00:00 Intro 01:25 I run my builds and then check back around lock. By then, most lineups are in so I rerun each build. I'm finding that stacks change and it's not just teams whose lineups haven’t locked. Am I doing something wrong or is this just from line movement and lineup adjustments? 06:52 Sometimes when I run a build, I get the message of rules that do not apply, but it asks to continue with undelete filters or keep them, what should I do when that happens? 09:52 What is the best tip you can recommend playing MLB DFS? 11:43 Do you all have available projections for XFIN, Trucks, and EPL? 14:24 Was the Pro Plan discontinued? 14:38 I need help with MLB showdown. 16:20 If I switch over to the Ultimate plan, what’s a good starting bankroll to ensure I’m breaking even?
00:00 Intro 01:25 What filters do I use to help me build winning lineups? 07:50 If you're building for 14 different single-entry/3-max entries, how would you go about building your pool?
00:00 Intro 01:45 Does the RAROI and ROI percentage tell me if they are winning lineups? 4:46 Can you go through the filter process? 10:21 I’m playing 150, single-entry, 3-max, and 20-max tonight, in the build settings, should I just build 150 lineups and set the entry limit to 150? 12:35 How can I optimize my filters to improve my sim ROI? 17:36 I understand playing more lineups is more profitable, however, if I wanted to play SE or multiplier contest (like 5X) could I just run for 1 LU with satellite settings and enter that LU? 19:07 Will SaberSim ever offer optimizing for sites like PrizePicks and Underdog? 21:55 Can you talk about whether it's more beneficial to use projected points or SaberScore when choosing your lineups in a 20 max? 28:32 Can you change exposures and stacks without rebuilding? 28:51 What is the maximum ownership anyone should have on a 150max 30:58 How many lineups do you like building for a se/3max contest?
00:00 Intro 03:03 I've been using multiple buckets for contest sims and then doing the filtering process off-site, then re-uploading as a new pool then resuming. I was curious if you think there’s any real difference in this process vs. just filtering on-site? 10:54 How do I go about the winner-take-all and multiplier contests? 12:45 Say that my 20 lineups have a projected score of 93 then I used the filter that trashed 10% of my lineup poll. Should I raise my filter closer to my projected score of my lineups or is that ill-advised?
00:00 Intro 01:10 Can you do an NFL preseason tutorial and MLB DFS tutorial? 10:26 Can you go over the latest MMA DFS tutorial? 18:18 What do you specifically look for when reviewing past contests for MLB to help you with your builds for future contests? 20:21 Do you have a specific rule when it comes to lineup ownership? 23:04 Are you just letting SaberSim sort lineups or trying to group hitters that have a platoon advantage in baseball?
00:00 Intro 01:08 Is there a drop-off point on MME lineups? 07:04 What are some ways to add value to MLB late swap without contest sims? 09:58 Regarding late swap, do you use the 'aggregate project average score' or the 'live project average score'? 13:35 What would be the main reason to use match exposure to the ownership tab? 15:16 Since the update to the sim ROI calculation, I have been consistently in the top portfolio ROIs sorting by ROI. Does it make a difference sorting by RAROI compared to ROI? 17:02 Does the Ultimate package include WNBA stat line projections like points + rebounds + assists?
00:00 Intro 01:28 What’s the best way to study and decide which positions you want to take? 12:22 What settings should I use in contests where the top prize is a ticket to baseball or golf championships? 12:45 When comparing ROI metrics, say Flagship/Low stakes MME ROI vs actual contests played ROI, what would be considered a consensus reasonable gap?
00:00 Intro 01:17 What is the best way to use contests sims for Yahoo? 03:57 Should I be playing chalkier to increase my post-contest sim ROI? 10:05 Is there an effective way to use SaberSim for MLB Tiers? 17:54 Cortez has 100% exposure but the pool has him at 30%, should you change the exposure? 19:42 If I’m running the mini and moonshot, how would you build? 23:28 With late swap would you do each contest separately or together?
00:00 Intro 01:34 In MLB for example, how much should I trim my pool down using the projection/ownership filters? 03:00 Could you talk a bit about the new RAROI sorting and how it is affected by changing min uniques and individual player exposures? 14:28 How do you ensure that the new RAROI metric takes into account the # of lineups you are playing in a contest? 16:42 How do you get the best Lineups without changing too many settings? 21:21 Is there anywhere where we can see the stack % in the SaberSim field lineups?

On this episode, Andrew guides you through the late swap process and discusses whether you should reset your adjustments before making those crucial swaps.
00:00 Intro 01:16 When late swapping is there a way to see if your late swapping worked out in your lineups? 06:58 When late swapping, is it best to clear out your adjustments to different stacks, teams, etc?
00:00 Intro 01:20 How important is stacking in MLB? Is it possible to win a tournament playing nothing but run-offs? 07:10 When I am using custom projections and ownership and running contest sims. Should I run it against the “Flagship MME” or my build? 14:26 How far could we look back on Contest Flashback? 15:20 Is there no longer a Pro plan? 16:00 Is it better to run a contest sim against the field lineups or your own lineups?
00:00 Intro 01:55 When “use live field lineups if available” is enabled in the custom sim settings will it use a live version of the custom field I created? 06:00 What's a good number for the projection filter you recommended? 08:07 Should you use the min uniques on all the lineups remaining in the pool? 11:00 Is there anything that Contest Sims doesn't consider that SaberScore does?
00:00 Intro 01:55 I've been following the DFS Profit Plan. On days like today where there are two slates, would you recommend? 04:30 When I create lineups and filter out negative ROI, I always end up with the 2 highest-owned pitchers. I want other pitchers to appear to reduce risk. Is there a rule I need to create? 13:20 When looking at the sims, what does the bold white number mean after "large slate-10-50k," like 89.50? What's that bold white number?
00:00 Intro 01:11 Say I have run my build and sorted everything and now I have 2500 lineups. After sorting I want to take the top 50 lineups from the top and 50 lineups from the bottom. What would be the easiest way to accomplish this? 05:58 How can you use SaberSim to get picks for player prop sites? 07:25 How do you manage Min Uniques in a late swap that groups all your contests? 12:14 How do you feel about Gil and Castillo for a single-entry tournament?
00:00 Intro 01:10 Just noticed the master upload option. Is there a video or something else that explains it? 03:30 Can you demonstrate an MLB showdown build? 06:35 If you’ve already built lineups and new teams lineups drop should you rebuild lineups or just run contest sim? 14:09 Are you able to save Aggregate metrics or do you have to make them every time?
00:00 Intro 01:50 I've started using the aggregate function after running my contest sims. I set an aggregate for min ROI, average ROI, and max ROI for both my field sim and my build sim. I saw this method during a video with Jordan and Chris, when he was on that heater win 5 20k contests. My question is, what do I do with that data and how do I know if I have a good build? 08:50 If everyone is filtering by RAROI, how can we be different enough to avoid dupes? 11:22 From yesterday's slate I created 5000 lineups and got rid of all the negative ROI, leaving me with 3507 lineups. When sorted by actual I would have had a lineup that would have taken down a tournament. When I download all those lineups in Excel, what should I look for in the data? 15:00 Does loading your own projections help diversity? 17:15 The update mentions that the number of entries affects the contest sim ROI calculation. how does the size of the contest influence this impact, and what should users be mindful of when entering larger vs. smaller contests?
00:00 Intro 01:40 I run 150 lines for mlb $.50 contest on DraftKings ….I'm only cashing between 25-35 lines. What can I do to improve this number? 09:00 I'm playing Satellite contests for future NFL slates on Ownersbox. When you manually do the contest sim do you set it to 100% to first? 10:10 Are self-sims still recommended with the new update? 11:07 With the recent update to the contest sims that now account for self-competitiveness between entries, how does this affect the overall strategy for managing multi-entry portfolios? specifically, how should users adjust their entry diversification to maximize their chances of winning? 16:28 Are there any other aggregate metrics that you would recommend or is it based on our preference and or the contest size we chose? 23:30 When looking at the single game SaberScore, is that leaning towards more Single-Entry and/or 3-max contests? 24:54 The update mentions the risks of too much exposure to lineups with narrow win conditions, like stacking low-total teams in MLB slates. Can you provide strategies or guidelines to avoid this? 28:58 With the new organic diversification being highlighted as superior to using min uniques, are there still scenarios where min uniques might be useful?
00:00 Intro 01:24 What are the positive and negative takes when bumping up or down golfers while also adjusting their min-max exposures? 03:50 How do I use contest flashback effectively?
00:00 Intro 01:20 Do you set any rules for MMA? 11:12 When you change the number of lineups to 150 if I'm playing 35 lineups, would I change it to 35? 11:52 What's the best way to figure out why a lineup has negative post-sim ROI?
