00:00 Intro
01:22 I’m getting a negative sim ROI as a whole on my 150 sets. I use a different projection source. Could this be the issue as post-lockdown sims use Saber projections?
07:35 Does it ever make sense to rank your lineups by Ownership?
10:15 Do you think making sure the rake isn't too high for some contests on OB and Yahoo is more important because they don't limit pros in their contests like you can find on FD and DK in the under $3 lobby?
13:23 Am I doing something wrong when making my NBA lineup?
15:20 For NBA DFS, if I’m playing 150 entries, is it better to sort by projected score or SaberScore and take the top 150 out of the 5000 lineup pool, or let the Portfolio Diversifier choose my 150 from the pool?

Jordan Chand — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 21:19:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew talks through best practices for managing and improving sim ROI over time.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/9rZ8NjwdmF8

00:00 Intro
01:53 Is there a way to late swap my single line across all entries while running the sim?
08:37 Should I let SaberSim place my lineups in each contest I am playing for that specific slate, or should I be hand-selecting the lineups?
11:00 If I’m spreading fewer lineups across a higher number of entries and purposefully duplicating lineups, how do I maintain those lineups while doing a late swap?
12:27 When playing large 150-max MME I’ve noticed that my overall portfolio ROI is lower than I’d expect. My top-end is fine, but the bottom end is pulling down my overall contest expected ROI. I’m not sure how to stop that from happening.
38:22 Are there specific contest-type strategies to maximize NBA/NFL sim ROI?
44:16 Why do the sims use lineups with 10/20/30+ dupes?
54:35 Can you save an entire build to favorites?
57:55 If I'm in a contest that is around 500 entries, does it make more sense to do a build of 500 lineups and use that as the field instead of the default field for that specific contest?
01:00:05 Should I be doing anything different for cash lineups vs. the GPP lineups?
01:02:25 I notice on SaberScore unique 1, you will get 100% regularly of one player in NBA, while in portfolio, I don’t see that as much.
01:03:46 What are the best two-stack types for NHL GPPs?
01:06:17 If I set an average PROJ. Will the PROJ update throughout the evening?
01:08:02 At what point during post slate analysis is it result-driven vs process?
01:10:20 Why does the sim ROI end negative or very low when it appeared good before the slate? What is the best way to ensure a better sim ROI?

18:00 Thoughts on 20 lineups in a 150 max?
19:22 How can I save the one group per contest I have to do it every time?
20:22 Can you show the new late swap feature?
25:30 For NFL Showdown Slates is there any prep that you recommend we do earlier in the day or should we just wait until closer to lock to start our process?
28:02 I have 2 of 500 lineups with a single game score over 1,200. SaberScore is under 100. How should this be interpreted?

00:00 Intro
01:20 When I'm narrowing down my 5000 lineups after I run my contest sims is having 50 lineups good enough or 250?
05:07 I have built my bankroll to enter the 100k Spy on DK. Since there are high end players in the 100k spy. Are there special settings I need to input?
09:33 I do have a question about the different templates on the starter SaberSim.The 3 templates that are available are 1. All contest in one group 2. One group per contest 3. SaberSystem. Are we able to late swap with all 3 of these templates?
12:35 Last evening NHL Alex Tuch ruled out. I opened the red Quick Swap, but no swaps were offered. Then DK rejected some swap lineups as having duplicate players in them. I rebuilt and everything was fine. Any idea why this may have happened?
14:30 Would you recomend adjusting projections by 1 to 3 points. If i've done my own research?
16:17 Can you explain the difference in results between the default ROI shown in the lineup pool, vs a custom metric for the ROI of a specific contest?

10:30 Would you mind explaining how you would set up geo mean for dupes using tonight's NFL SD slate as an example?
17:24 I am entering the quarter Jukebox contest on DK and noticed that the entrants have experienced badges. In Jordan’s video in 2023 titled, "Start winning more with our DFS profit plan," he mentioned that contests that are less than $3 for entry fee automatically excludes experienced players.

05:05 I’ve seen some discussion regarding top prizes affecting contest decision. Some suggest a 20% to first is an important floor. What are your thoughts on this?
07:37 I've seen how customizable building lineups are within ss, is it better to edit stack exposures in general or better to edit the exposures per team per stack for NHL as an example?
09:25 I’m l new and I don’t l make any changes I just let the sims run and upload my contests! I’ve not profited yet! Is that standard?

10:42 If i remember correctly adding custom projections just moved the distribution of the players, has this changed at all?
11:53 I understand that moving the sim diversity slider pulls from a smaller or larger amount of sims depending on the direction you move. Can you explain how this may impact roster construction and stack types?
15:50 If you’re not satisfied with the lineup the build produces for that one high-stakes entry, how would you go about modifying just that specific lineup without impacting the others?
18:45 After creating lineups, say you’re filling multiple portfolios but prefer your 3 entry to be certain captain or contain a certain playerIs there a filter to achieve this or would it manually have to be done for the pool?
20:00 Under the old SaberSim on FanDuel I was able to see line ups that were not attached to a specific group. Would I still be able to do this with the new SaberSim system?

Jordan Chand — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 19:08:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew walks through the best NFL strategies for beginners.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/8gwXGTmhnXg

00:00 Intro
01:17 I am noticing a lot of the time the optimal showdown lineups are actually -10% to -40% ROI. I’ve gotten so confused about what metric I use to rank lineups.
11:20 In last nights showdown I put 20 x 1.00 showed up as 30 x 1.00 30 x .25 showed up as 34 and 40 x .05 showed up as 50 x. Not a big deal but 2nd time this has happened. Could I be doing something wrong?
12:28 What do you think about this: unchecked players from both teams, then check players I want from both teams, and then let the SaberSim do his thing.
14:03 By chance, can you go over the process of viewing the lineups/exposures for a certain lineup group?
09:15 What is the best way to separate the projected low-owned versus the projected high-owned captains?
21:35 What should we put our correlation and sim Diversity sliders?
29:01 Where do you get the option for portfolio +?
33:19 Is there a correlation between winners and stacks in MLB? Is a 4-3 stack the best?
37:00 I was wondering how the portfolio diversifier chooses certain lineups?
40:00 I have 450 lineups today in MLB. Do you recommend keeping the duplicate toggle off or on?
43:24 What is the best process for a beginner, from the time they open the SaberSim and want to play an NFL slate?
46:40 What does geo mean even mean?
49:27 When using the portfolio diversifier, if you keep that checked off, it might pull the best lineups for all 150 maxes?
50:43 Is there any column that tells you the point per dollar for each player?

DFS Q&A: Is Rebuilding Too Often Hurting Your Process?

Jordan Chand — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 18:55:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew discusses whether rebuilding lineups too often can hurt your process and how to find the right balance.

00:00 Intro
01:22 Is rebuilding too often a detriment to your process?
06:50 I have a question, are the projections and the ownership updated in the saved lineups builds, or the favorite builds updated also when I rerun Sims
08:25 If I have moved lineups I like to "favorites," how do I move those to my specific contests?
12:25 Is there a way to reliably get the live EV to show up?
13:50 What is the best way to create a rule that says No More Than Two K/DST in Same Lineup?
15:24 I heard that contest selection recommendations are back to focusing on effective entrants again?
19:10 Am I sacrificing EV when I’m adjusting my exposures and filters of my lineups post build?
21:48 Is there a way to set a rule to have a WR only show up in stacks with his QB?
23:37 I’m doing the 50k Mon NFL Bomb on fD. 1000 total entries, 32 max entries. Do you recommend any changes in the settings, or should I just let the sim/diversifier run its course?
27:10 How do people stand a chance in the big contest against elite players?
29:55 I saw that TrueDFS offers a bundle that includes SaberSim + their projections. How often are you seeing players use non-SS projections, and could those mess with SimROI + other post-contest sims?
33:25 I've seen in some of your videos that you'll have a tab called "Field Tabs". Is that basically what could be considered a dry run, like in a standards optimizer?
35:00 What determines a person being considered an elite DFS player?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/7MrdMLCvoZU

00:00 Intro
01:30 How do you lock a player in the flex, and is it always smart to do so for late swap flexibility?
04:05 Is there a way to make sure a QB is stacked with a certain receiver?
05:39 How do I go about making a filter with two steps in my lineup pool?
06:58 Can you go over the process of uploading a set of lineups to SaberSim, then running contest sims against that set of lineups?
10:12 If I build lineups 2 hours before a slate and then build again 20 minutes before lock, and some of the contest sims from the first build are projected to have higher projections and/or ROI than the later build, does that mean the first build is actually stronger?
12:26 If one uses Geomean on a showdown slate and the winning “optimal” lineup ends up being a duplicated lineup and prize winnings are shared among many, does that mean that because one did the Geomean filter that they probably will not have that winning lineup?
15:01 I’m trying to get D Knox, J Hill & Jackson Hawes at the flex, but SS can’t generate a lineup. As a follow-up up if I want 3 players at the flex 1 under 15%,1 under 10% and 1 under 5% what’s the rule setup?
18:05 Is ROI not available during the $7 trial version?
23:30 How do "My Projection" scores affect the ROI for contest sims?
24:40 Is SaberSim doing projections & sims for soccer DFS?

04:15 Is there a way to save my column setup across all builds?
05:12 On the contest tab, you can enable the contests you are entering, but you can't change them there. Does that mean those are the field lineups the contests are using in the build itself?

25:00 What's the best way to create a rule that does not allow QB vs OPP DST, but does allow RB/WR/TE vs OPP DST?
27:24 The DFS profit plan says to enter about 50% of your daily betting amount in 20-maxers (diversifier) contests and about 50% in single-entry and 3-maxers (multiplier) contests. In contrast, the new CFB Cheatsheet video suggests you load up on single-entry contests first, then 3-maxers, then 20-maxers, and then 150-maxers in that order as the daily betting budget permits. Which of these two strategies is the current SaberSim recommendation?
31:20 Do you recommend building naked first and then making changes post-build or making changes first and then building a set of 5K lineups?

In this episode, Andrew explains what happens when you set correlation to 0 and how it affects your builds.

00:00 Intro
02:05 I play almost every slate available for cash games across basically all sports with minimal bankroll commitment per slate, and I’ve had success with that. Trying to translate that to GPP play with the DFS Profit Plan, would you recommend playing a lower bankroll percentage and still playing a lot of these uncorrelated slates?
08:24 Can I use the optimizer to build my set of 5000 lineups and then use the contest sims to evaluate them, or am I only able to use contest sims against lineups built using the sim builder?
14:41 If I set correlation to 0, does that mean I will still get the correlation built into the game simulations?
20:58 What is the advantage of uploading custom projections? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the play by play sims that are run to create the SaberSim projections?
23:34 Can you help me out with this late-game slate in MLB? Right now, in a single entry for a large field over 18,000, I have a Rangers pitcher and an Astros pitcher. I think the game is under. So you think stanking the second game would be the way to go?
27:23 When it comes to bankroll management, I started with three thousand back in September and stuck with the profit plan, only playing with no more than 5% of my bankroll. Today, I'm down to 400 dollars. Is it ok to reload with another 3 thousand dollars?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/OI285lR_9nU

00:00 Intro
01:30 Why does the Saber team use DraftKings more than FanDuel?
02:50 I didn’t use an ROI filter for golf because I’ve noticed that when I apply it after a hands-off build, my pool drastically reduces. Sometimes, without changing anything except maybe increasing the minimum salary, my pool drops from 5,000 lineups to just a few hundred, making it hard to fill my usual 100+ lineups. This only seems to happen in golf. Do you have any idea why, or if I’m missing something?
06:00 If I start an NBA slate with 3 uniques, when I slate swap each time after that is it a good idea to use only 1 unique?
08:10 What are your thoughts about simming my build against multiple different fields?

00:00 Intro
01:27 If I go 4 min uniques for my build when doing late swap for NBA for the first lock, is it better to keep min uniques at 4, or better to drop it some?
05:45 In your build review, you mentioned that if ownership shows "SaberSim Ownership" instead of buckets, the entry file was uploaded before the sims ran and should be reuploaded afterward. But for every showdown slate I’ve done, it always shows "SaberSim Ownership," no matter when I upload it. I tested this with a hockey SD last night, re-uploading after the final sims, but I still saw the same. Is this just how SDs work, or is it a bug?
09:58 How can I fill multiple contests with different geomeans using direct fill or autofill?
14:22 Do you use rank or unique rank for your lineup builds?
16:20 What lobbies are the best players on draftings not allowed to in for example can they join a 10 cent, $400$ prize lobby?
23:08 Do you personally change any projections or exposures?

DFS Q&A: Finding a Process vs. Adjusting After Losses

Jordan Chand — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 19:44:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew discusses finding the balance between trusting a solid DFS process and making adjustments after a losing night.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/_g0ze4JP2g8

00:00 Intro
01:48 Is there a percentage of the players you wanna pick lineups from when playing just 20 lineups?
06:12 With DFS being a lose more nights than you win endeavor, how important is it to find and trust a good process, versus making tweaks to strategy every night after you “lose”?
16:07 Does Autofill show each lineup's rank?
18:40 When looking at the default metrics they use Adj. Own instead of My Own, will that make calculations different within the builder?
23:23 When you do the review lineups you always speak about when setting up average ownership but you always use my own instead of adj own, was just wondering why?

DFS Q&A: How Much of My Bankroll Should I Play on Each Slate?

00:00 Intro
01:18 How to Sign Up for a Build Review
02:00 I’m just curious about why my late swapping seems to be taking players out of the later windows.
03:30 For yesterday’s NBA slate, after running a late swap build, I noticed that a couple of players were projected for 10 or 11 points. If I don’t want players projected that low in my late swap build, how should I go about that?
06:12 For PGA, how do I set a rule to play at least 2 golfers per lineup that are owned greater than 10%?
08:03 Should I have SaberScore on MMA set to Default or Sim Diversity?
13:25 Let’s say I like a group of players. I want to include that group in 50% of my lineups, but the rest can be whatever. I was able to make the rule and get them into all of them together, but if I only wanted them together in 50%, how would I do that?
15:50 When it comes to how much of your bankroll, you used to play multiple slates on the same day is it 5% for each slate?
24:15 Do u not upload ur entries file before building lineups?

05:22 Can you go over today what the recommended fill method is auto-fill or direct fill and why that is?
14:50 When first creating a late swap tab, it has bullets about including original lineups and a couple others. I have heard you say before to always do that but have heard others say to leave it alone and don't click that bullet point. Can you talk/show a little about the initial setup when first creating the late swap AND what to do for each lock after that?
20:20 I understand we are always seeking positive ROI lineups however in looking at contest reviews for sports like Golf, MMA, and NFL showdown to some extent it seems the top winning lineups are pretty regularly negative ROI. Can you speak further about this?
23:09 Can you go over reviewing the late swap tab, in terms of the terms “requirements met”, “exceptions”, and the drop-down for a contest with the entry IDs, ROI change, etc.?
26:50 I have watched plenty of videos and recently joined SS via one of your partners, what process do you recommend for single entries in small to medium contests?

DFS Q&A: Tips for Building Winning NFL Main Slate & Showdown Lineups

In this episode, Andrew breaks down strategies for building winning lineups for NFL Main Slate and Showdown contests.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/negpA5aVkeo

00:00 Intro
01:27 If we are playing less than 10 lineups in a large field GPP should we focus more on ownership or projections and the upside of our players?
06:44 Since field lineups for the contest sims are 20k lineups, do you think that they sufficiently account for dupes in contests less than 20k entrants for the ROI calculation?
11:35 I was hoping you could provide some guidance on how to set up a rule that ensures I have a certain number of low-owned players in my lineups. For instance, if I wanted to guarantee that each lineup contains at least three players with ownership under 10%, could you walk me through how you would approach this?
19:18 On a typical NFL slate, let’s say after the 1pm games your lineups are doing poorly, and not likely to win. If you run late swaps before for the 4pm games, in theory, it will swap some players to more volatile low-owed players to salvage some min cashes. Do you think after the slate is all done, this would lead your lineups to grade out worse in post-contest sims?
23:10 Can u do an NFL showdown and main slate build?

08:28 What does the term value player mean?
12:00 If the simulations shouldn’t be manipulated like an optimizer with rules and player pools, then how should they be adjusted? What factors should we focus on? How many times should we run simulations in SaberSim to achieve optimal results, and is there a point where running more simulations yields diminishing returns?
18:47 For NBA DFS late swaps is it recommended to check the option to force the original lineup?
22:50 Is a 0-10 build still a thing to see what the optimal players are for the slate?

29:20 Should I change the min. uniques when using the autofill option?

00:00 Intro
03:52 Should I late swap on the Starter plan?
05:50 This may be more of a risk tolerance question but what do you do when tools are giving you bad plays and whenever you adjust it lowers ROI significantly?
12:02 What is the best approach to balancing exposures and sim ROI?
08:17 Are there any outside resources that Sabersim looks at regarding projected ownership for players?
19:12 When doing rank(single-entry vs mme) what is the best way to use min uniques, if any?
22:50 Can you explain the meaning of the “percentiles” under aggregate metrics?
25:09 Can u explain Sim ROI in layman's terms?
26:42 Lately, during showdowns, if I filter out lineups with negative ROI its pretty much removing 95-99% of the lines.
28:14 How many sims are run for a particular slate to produce projections? When I'm creating lineups, how is SS selecting my 500 lineups out of those simulations?

09:20 How do I add filters if I’m not running contest sims and using saver score. How do I eliminate bad lineups?
12:45 Single Game Slates and High Variance
26:20 Is there a way to upload lineups and run a contest sims against them to see which ones have the best ROI after running the contest sims?
29:42 I know on the regular plan it gives a score on each slate. Ex. Med large salte and min large slate etc... but I don't understand how to use in relation to the contest I'm entering. How does that work?

DFS Q&A: How can I make sure a player has 18% exposure in my lineups for a contest?

Jordan Chand — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 02:40:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew explains how to ensure a player's exposure in your lineups matches your intended percentage when entering a contest.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/9tyo6d6nGgY

00:00 Intro
02:00 I've noticed that my exposure and actual entry exposure can be significantly different. For example, when I boost min exposure for a player it looks like they will be in a good amount of lineups. Once I actually enter the contest it can be either very high or very low. What would you recommend for me to actually get the 18% exp?
12:50 I'm trying to figure out how to make a rule where my player's pool exposure is equivalent to their points projection. Have you seen anything about this?
17:10 Is the beta version better to use for upcoming NFL slates?
20:35 Should we tweak min uniques after we do late swaps?
22:50 In the earlier demo, how many saved contests are in your file?
26:28 Does ROI change if I do a unique random or rank compared to a unique rank?

04:19 Any tips for the Thursday- Monday football slate this week?
05:46 When doing auto-fill in the post build, is it recommended to have removed from the pool check?
09:30 I downloaded the entries for late swap and still got the error message when uploading. What am I doing wrong?
11:10 I always hear you say to use a lineup filter of ROI greater than 0. When I go back and look at past winners, most winning lineups have a negative projected ROI. If that is true, then by using your said filter, I have essentially guaranteed I not win most contests. Can you please explain your thoughts on the subject?
15:14 Could you give us a rundown on how to set a metric to make sure you only get ROIs over 0 when you save to contests?
18:22 Can you please explain the 'my Own' column? Is it the ownership of each of the players for that contest in DraftKing or ownership from a SaberSim user?
21:55 Any reason why I can't run contest sims for tonight's NBA main?
22:50 How big of the stacks does it like for Saturday NFL on DraftKings?

In this episode, Andrew explains the optimal sorting metric to use when playing satellite contests.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/sM2HG2NNWlo

00:00 Intro
03:43 I want to try an approach where I am only using players in the starting lineups for the NBA slates. Is there a way to approach this besides waiting until the green light comes and checking each individual player's confirmed status for each individual team?
05:58 If I use direct fill to fill my lineups when filling my Single-Entry and 3-max contests, is the sim selecting entries that are designed for the correct strategy for those contests or is it just picking the highest-ranked lineup from my pool?
10:28 I tried to lock some players I thought would have a good week per the def they are going against, and I saw maybe break-even success.
14:20 When it comes to NFL, what is the number a player has to get to hit value how many fantasy points?
15:48 Why can’t I download my favorites CSV into DraftKings?
18:35 What is the best sorting metric I should use to rank any satellite contest?
21:05 How am I able to get multiple lineups from each build into the contests without having to do it manually?
21:50 Is it any different to sort by ROI than Win Rate?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/FWR20Vnfmj0

00:00 Intro
03:45 When implementing a group rule to give low-owned plays or a chance at top 1% lineups, is there a selection or certain settings, and if so what would you suggest are the max lineups you should narrow it down to?
06:45 I was just curious if you are using a sim to choose which lineups to play, would it not choose the same lineups for many different SaberSim users, increasing the number of dupes to the point where it potentially would no longer be +ev?
12:20 How does everyone go about reviewing their builds the day after?
13:30 I do a lot of 0.50 minimax and 1.00 20 max. So I often set this to reflect the low-stakes Flagship MME as it usually has the bulk of my entries. Is that the right to go about it?
14:54 What are some common filters or rules you use to increase your ROI, and what metrics do you look for after running a contest sim to determine if a manual change was beneficial or negative?
18:55 Should I be tweaking exposures etc while auto-fill tab is selected?
20:45 I sometimes edit some of my lineups on DK/FD after uploading from SaberSim. Of course, this causes issues with review since SaberSim isn't updated with my edits. I'm aware that I can edit on SaberSim. Thoughts?

Jordan Chand — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 17:08:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew covers the basics of NBA DFS and shares resources to help you improve your game.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/8XCeje3Re-c

00:00 Intro
01:30 For NFL specifically, what are some things that the sim/projections don’t account for maybe enough or might give too much weight to?
02:45 Say I wanna run the sim several times adjusting the sliders each run and I wanna batch all the positive ROI lineups from the runs together, would it be better to copy and paste those lineups on another workbook in Excel and save them as CSV to re-upload or just favorite them?
08:20 How would I do the multiple builds for the single-entry vs multi-entry while also making sure each lineup is still unique with no repeats?
12:42 Can you explain Portfolio EV?
14:42 When picking a lineup for Single Entry / High Stakes, is the best approach to play the highest ROI lineup for said contest type?
18:44 When I sort my Prizepicks by top prize, I just saw that you can rank ROI and uniques by each contest. would you recommend changing the ROI and min uniques?
20:50 After you adjust the sim sliders, does anything change with the projections? Are there any changes that you can see?
23:32 Before the new UI change I was doing very well with SaberSim. With the new UI, I am doing horrible. I used to manually enter the top lineups in a contest and then delete them and move on to the next. I am assuming that autofill is doing the same? But if so why is my process no longer profitable?
26:28 Is it worth using min uniques if you are an Ultimate and use exposures?
28:46 I am new to basketball DFS, what is a good video to watch to help get me started?
29:46 Is there a way to tweak a simulated lineup and then have SaberSim give the modified or adjusted lineup a SaberScore?

DFS Q&A: Is there a need to filter out lineups with negative ROI while using auto-fill?

Jordan Chand — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 18:45:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew explores key considerations to keep in mind when using auto-fill.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/DjAlsSwzPxg

00:00 Intro
01:27 If I create a filter that removes all dupes greater than 1 and then autofill. Will SaberSim remove the lineup only if duped more than 1 time in each specific contest?
08:58 Do you mind explaining your post-contest ROI process?
17:10 Im still having trouble with the new late swap, I wish there was a video or something with the new changes. Could you possibly run down how you approach it if possible?
18:04 If a particular QB is being used, a certain player who is highly correlated gets input in the lineups?
19:34 With the new build released yesterday on late swap. I was having issues with using Unique Rank. I was getting 0 lineups and 0 contests. I had to use Rank and min unique of 0. Am I doing it wrong?
20:51 Some chatter in the NFL discord today about NOT maxing the bigger/flagship 150 contests due to the fact you have to have a lineup take the top ten to break even. Can you speak on this generally?
23:50 Is there really a need to filter out lineups with negative ROI while using auto-fill since it's going to put in the "best" lineup anyway?
25:18 I have a good idea on how to make lineups Pre-Lock, could you run down the steps you do to make lineups?
33:22 Do you always set your ownership to the contest you are playing or use the default?

In this episode, Andrew goes over new features and updates.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/hw41O29t2xs

00:00 Intro
01:30 For the three-game Thanksgiving slate tomorrow, should I play the mini-max or should I play it more conservatively and limit my entries to 20 maxes only?
02:35 Do I need to go back to the old time-consuming process of downloading the entries file from DK, then build 25 lineups, download, copy, and paste to the DK file, and repeat until I get to 150?
05:35 I noticed that everyone else’s build was still set to "ROI" uniformly across all of their contests. I'm assuming this means the default target contest ROI. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to messing with that, and or also am I misusing it completely?
08:50 When doing contest flashback is it not normal that it won't show what filters I've used on post-build as well as pre-build?
12:35 One strategy I use is to build for say a 150 max build 30 lineups and then duplicate those 5 times and then after the first game adjust then through late swap and manual. Ho would you recommend taking stands to build for the 3 gamer?
16:15 Looks like there was a newly built release early today and I was asked to reload the sim page. I assume the new updates are in effect right away right? Can you please show the new changes?
24:03 Will it show a build for the Friday single-game slate?
29:52 Does flashback work with Fanduel?
30:22 If I made changes to NBA player projections, hit rebuild, then run sim contest. I assume my projections will override the sims and the lineups will be affected based on my input, right?

00:00 Intro
05:05 I'm thinking about switching from starter to ultimate. What type of volume do I need where it makes it "worth it"?
07:14 Beta Access
08:42 What multiplier is used in football to know if a player hits value? Basketball uses 5x, but what about football?
09:41 When making stands in NFL Showdown, is it best to still run the contest sims as normal?
11:08 Does it really matter when switching from flagship MME to low-stakes MME or 20-max? And for the latter, which strategy should I use?
17:30 How many changes to projections should I make for NFL lineups?
20:32 Been having issues with autofill and the “not enough lineups” popup indicating despite the large pool has to duplicate in contests usually SE. Is it just that there are -ROI lineups for some contest being trashed that are needed for others?
30:00 When using direct fill and you set up min uniques as well as ROI filter does that translate when you switch to auto-fill?

DFS Q&A: Direct Fill vs. Auto-Fill

Jordan Chand — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:27:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew breaks down the pros and cons of using Direct Fill vs Auto-Fill when entering contests.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/NXzDhOu2Hkw

00:00 Intro
01:25 With 30 minutes before lock, no late swaps, and only SaberSim for research, what would be your process?
03:09 If I set up two rules, for example, (first rule) use 2 players with my proj greater than 15 and salary less than $4.5k, and (second rule) use 1 player less than $4k, will SaberSim use 1 player who would satisfy both rules?
04:45 Can you please show how to set up rules for example stacking MVP with two players from the same team?
06:40 It seems # of dupes can be important in certain slates. Can you show how one could do a build for tonight's NFL slate with a dupe rule of let's say I want 0-50 dupes max?
10:05 What's your general strategy on the night slate vs the regular main slate?
12:02 While filling into the contests, what are the advantages and/or disadvantages of individually using direct vs auto-fill?
17:23 Is there a difference between using Contest Sims ROI after building lineups and running sims or choosing the specific contest and using ROI?
18:53 Do you have a suggested site for researching players or news?
21:10 If playing multiple contests, is it better to fill one up and then run another sim on the next contest I want to play?
23:52 How do you approach adjusting min uniques once you late swap?
26:37 For auto-fill, is it advisable to select the correct ROI per contest or leave it as ROI?
28:37 After u sum, do you make a filter by proj or SaberScore?
32:00 If you’re sorting by roi why would you set a filter to include roi greater than 0?

00:00 Intro
01:20 I’ve been getting really high Sim ROI results on beta but have been losing every slate, I switched back to the main SaberSim last night and got bad ROI scores but took down the Mini Max. Same process, what could explain this?
02:45 How do you go about adding your research to the builds and sims?
06:45 Is there any rationale to adjusting the build “correlation” and “sim diversity” sliders just to get different from other users say on a normal NBA slate, or are these presets well figured out for a given slate size?
12:52 The NBA late swap beta videos said the new updates would be on the app, I’m not seeing it so far am I missing something?

00:00 Intro
04:20 Is there a way to run a portfolio of lineups with multiple geomeans?
05:52 For NBA, when trying to go 2x over the field, how does that apply to the game or a team since there's no ownership by either team or game if interested in doing so, is there some basic number to go by on 20 or 150 max?
07:42 Should I be changing min uniques when late swapping?
09:30 I remember when using the simulator I could select Cash. Now I only see GPP, Multiple, and Satellite.
11:28 Can you help me further understand the Max large slate, Med large slate, etc numbers when building lineups?
16:42 I have been struggling lately to get Late Swap to work the way I want. Is this an error on my side or is there something wrong with the late swap functionality?
21:30 I can't use the gray button, when I do, it sometimes doesn't work at all, other times it'll be up the build window.

In this episode, Andrew breaks down the mechanics of how SaberSim works.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/-_CzDyj72LQ

00:00 Intro
01:30 How does the builder work?
05:36 If you make a projection change to certain players do the live sims see how close you came to your projections or the original projections that SaberSim had for that player?
07:41 If you enter tons of contests MME, SE, etc. Is there potential value in doing 2 different contest lineup builds then running sims?
09:40 Would I give myself a better shot if I sacrifice a bit of ROI and play a less chalky lineup?
13:52 When we run contest sims it uses the specific contest ownership bucket correct?
15:45 Would you please show a build for both multipliers and also satellites?
19:43 Is there a cap on ownership per player you have for NFL/NBA?
21:55 Does increasing the team total on the Team Stacks tab give more opportunities or overall projections to the players on that team?
26:45 How likely are dupes between two guys using Contest Sims in SaberSim for the same NBA 150 max contest?
29:08 Can you do a short explanation of what is a good ROI number?

DFS Q&A: Optimizing NBA Late Swap Strategies

Jordan Chand — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 19:07:00 +0000

In this episode: Andrew shares advice on maximizing your edge with NBA late swap.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/ph73mrCei2E

00:00 Intro
01:20 If you build NBA lineups at 6:30 for a 7:00 slate and at 6:50 there is a projection change do you have to do a full rebuild to factor the change or can you remove the saved lineups, hit refresh, and then save in autofill again to account for the change?
06:52 When Late Swapping, what's the easiest way to preserve specific lineups from the original set from being late swapped?
08:42 My normal NBA Classic slate is 3 20-max contests and a couple of SE contests. One single build, auto-fill unique. Usually just Min Uniques for adjustments. For the most part, my post-contest ROI for the 20-Max is usually near the top, but struggle a little bit more in the SE's. It's still positive but seems to be lacking. Any suggestions?
10:45 Are SaberSim field lineups the product of SaberSim ownership percentages or are ownership projections a product of the field lineups?
12:35 I noticed lineups ( i.e. giant squid in last Sunday's million maker) with negative ROI are taking down contests. However, the poker player in tells me to ignore that and it should even out. Would it be the same approach?

06:25 When looking at min salary on any sports, what's the difference when using the default vs 0 min salary?
13:22 In my pre-lock build I usually have a few rules, for example, a minimum projection rule. After the first game's lock, how does that min projection rule work when I swap?
14:25 If fewer duplicates mean a better chance of 1st place finish/or top positions being hit - does it make sense to have geometric mean greater than 25 as a rule for all sports main slate/showdown every single time?
17:30 How do I review my lineups from NFL week 10?
19:10 Whenever I run my builds for NBA my initial builds typically come back with anywhere from 80 to 100% exposure to some of the cheaper high-value guys on the slate. Is there a rule to set to avoid this?

In this episode, Andrew explores strategies for reducing duplicates.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/dHLWonhssU4

02:18 Would you recommend sorting by minutes played for a filter?
03:54 Does the post-contest sim win rate count for solo binks only or any 1st place?
04:25 Can you cover what adjustments the sim will make for the cup in the NBA this week?
06:25 In the process of increasing min uniques does that also reduce duplicates?
11:25 Is it possible to download the field lineups (Low Stakes 20-Max, Flagship MME, etc)?
11:50 If you upload NBA projections for a late swap build after lock. Do players that have already locked use the uploaded projections or the live SaberSim projections?
12:55 How do I get more of a player in my overall lineup pool?
14:30 I added showdown contests on DraftKings NFL and then imported lineups again to SaberSim and this obviously overwrote my existing contests build info. Is there a better way to import new contests?
16:24 Can you explain the new "Generate Field from Ownership" feature?
18:48 If updated projections/ownership come in before lock do I need to rebuild or can I just run new sims?
21:05 Can I upload custom projections without it overwriting the current custom projections?
22:42 Almost none of the millionaire maker winners this year had a positive sim ROI. If you go down to the top 20 spots, it’s about 50%. Is it worth using a Roi filter?
24:30 Do you recommend changing the salary min max for NFL main slates, or showdown?

13:45 Does upping Min Uniques still have value or increase the chance of big wins if on the ultimate plan?
16:39 I see many users in chat mention the use of separate builds for certain types of contests (MME, 20-max, SE, WTA). I’m confused on the impact or benefits of doing this in terms of lineup diversity vs maximizing ROI.
19:20 Can you share your Showdown strategy/approach for builds targeting 20max versus SATs?
24:46 Does the post-contest sim ROI take into account the diversity/overall portfolio of line-ups?
26:30 Is there a difference if you generate lineups with a 49k cap or if you generate with a 50k cap and delete the lineups over 49k?

05:17 How do you suggest we late swap in NBA with 15 between each game?
08:46 I noticed this week on NFL that my ROI & Uniques were good, but the Sim Avg Score was pretty poor across the board - not sure why this is and how to improve it.
10:50 What is a good "minimum volume" threshold for Ultimate members?
15:49 Let's say I run a Build along with running a Contest Sim and I send the lineups I like to favorites. Once I have all of those lineups in favorites, is it safe to re-run Sims, diversify, and fill my lineups with either Direct/Autofill?
18:25 Would you please explain percentiles more?
21:56 How can I be successful on FD showdowns?
22:54 Is unique random getting phased put, as I do not see as many examples of using it anymore or are there still any edges for still using it, like e.g. on auto-fill?
24:32 Can you explain in NBA why sims are giving us such crazy amounts of less than 10 percent owned players?
38:55 How do I use SaberSim for NBA single stats slates?
39:52 What do you think about maxing the min uniques that allow all lineups to be positive ROI and then sending those lineups to the Favorites tab. Then from the Favorites tab, run multiple contest sims to see if it remains positive no matter which sample of sims are used to determine how many min uniques to use?
41:59 Is it possible to select all of the different ownership fields at once to compare and contrast the different stakes?

01:45 What are some ways that you're adding value to your NFL builds after they run?
04:15 For multipliers (NFL - 3x and 5x) where you are trying to get approx. top 33% and 20%, should you be adjusting the number of "uniques" in your lineup pool or does such diversification have less of a role in these types of contests and could actually hurt your performance in the contests?
06:15 For 3 and 5 maxes what's the preferred build setting?
06:55 Please show us an MMA lineup build.
14:55 What is your take on fading high-owned plays that don't affect the overall portfolio projection much?
16:49 I saw an NBA video you did where you're looking for ways to get different with injury value. Do you do anything similar for NFL injury value?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/-IBbn211uAI

00:00 Intro
03:54 What do you think are some of the top players' specific tweaks to continually outperform others using the same sim?
06:29 When I fill my lineups for NBA, my contest sims have close to 100% ROI. Less than 30 mins later when I rebuild, the ROI is already -20%. Is there any way to prevent something like this from happening?
09:20 I was using beta SaberSim to build my lineups and I don’t see that remove pool option. Do you know if that’s an option in beta?
10:45 If I wanted to do a custom metric that compares My Own vs Adj Own and for that metric to favor players where their My Own is Higher than the Adj Own for that player. How would I go about doing so?
15:25 How would you adjust for Saber Score on a single game using SaberSim Starter?
19:15 Is there also a way to randomly fill, but using the top 500 lineups based on ROI?
20:45 If I set a filter on my lineups to show lineups with Contest Sim greater than Target Contest greater than ROI greater than 0, does that trash the lineup if its ROI is less than zero for any contest?
23:50 Does changing the "My Own" column from one sim to another using the gear icon (Flagship SE to say Low Stakes MME) impact anything regarding contest sims or lineup building?
24:52 For tonight’s NBA slate with only 4 games, my entries on FanDuel are about 350. If I don’t want that many unique lineups for a small slate what is the best way to do this in SaberSim?

26:42 I know you guys recommended doing different builds for 20-150, single-entry, and 3-max but will it also be good to do a different build for satellites for NFL?
35:24 Which customizations if any do you recommend for my plan? I.E. sorting, rules, metrics, etc?

In this episode, Andrew explains how to use Contest Flashback to review past slates and enhance your process.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/t5MqsS30Aog

00:00 Intro
01:15 When I late swap, I upload my initial lineups, then refine my build with stricter filters, reducing fillable lineups. If I save, will it only update the refined lineups and keep the originals intact?
04:15 I used direct fill to assign my best lineups by ROI across contests, but one lineup ended up in 5 contests. Is there a way to use each lineup only once?
08:50 Using min uniques for NBA to diversify drops the average projection by over a point when moving from 2 to 3. Is this too much of a loss for added diversity, or am I doing something wrong?
10:38 Is there a way to "freeze" a hand-built NBA lineup so it stays in my entries without being overwritten when I make new builds? Can I isolate it, or is there a workaround?
14:45 How to create a rule that says I want 1 of x many players in every lineup?
15:15 Auto-Fill tab, is there a way to fill the top lineup to all single entries instead of every single entry having a different lineup?
16:15 Is there a way I can ensure there is a player below 10% in all my NBA lines as a rule?
17:00 If I am playing 5 lines let's say in a 20-max for NHL, should I get pretty diverse and then late swap as much as possible, or how would you handle not making a contest?
19:30 Which is your preferred fill method Direct or Auto?
20:10 Why do I see differences in the results of contest sims on the same but different contests?
21:50 How should we approach the flashback review?
23:52 If your using uniques before late swap Do u feel there is also a must after late swap?
27:08 When we pull in the entry file shouldn't the field lineups be specific to the contest?
28:10 I'm trying to understand what affects ROI standard deviation more: win rate, cash rate, or ROI. I'm not knowledgeable enough to use this for building lineups. Also, why do I see differences in contest sim results for similar contests?
30:14 Is it true that if you set min exposure to a player you won't get any of that player in your single entry autofills?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/X-XMsW9bh8I

00:00 Intro
01:40 After running a build of lineups for NFL or NBA if a player has for example an ownership of 10 but the exposure is 95 and the pool percentage is 80 how should we approach that?
05:10 For NFL showdown, when looking at high-floor, high-owned low-risk options shall I look into the 25th percentile for the high floor and for the ownership above a certain 'X' threshold considering the low-risk?
08:36 Could you detail how the "rank by" tab works in auto-fill?
12:58 When reviewing someone like Giantsquid (and others) in the $20 NFL Milly Main Slate, they submitted many lineups that are actually negative ROI according to SaberSim. This would just imply that they are heavily adjusting the SaberSim base projections, right?

10:10 I am in a weekly 20-person highly competitive tournament each week. How would you set up the simulator for such a small tournament?
11:38 How would you suggest refining a late swap strategy?
16:50 Ultimately, the post-Sim ROI research is basically just saying "Okay, how far off the SaberSim projections were you", right?
20:21 Let’s say I need 200 lineups for a bunch of entries. I go to build and someone is really favored a lot for example X player is in 175 lineups. Is it better to raise players with lower exposure?
21:56 When using min uniques shall I set them up before running the contest sims while using avg projections or afterwards?
25:02 How do you see how you did with a post-sim ROI?
29:03 Are the lineups built taking ownership into account or only in the contest sims?

DFS Q&A: Should we avoid cutting negative ROI lineups from our builds?

Jordan Chand — Sat, 26 Oct 2024 18:15:00 +0000

In this episode, Andrew discusses navigating lineups with negative sim ROI.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/2Rv8_GAIINA

00:00 Intro
02:32 In your videos, you suggest building a pool of strong lineups and adjusting minimum uniques based on overall averages. Doesn’t this method overlook the diversity we can achieve for individual contests?
08:56 I usually build my lineups together for all contests on a slate. Are you suggesting a separate build for single-entry, or is there a way within 1 build to only have the min/max exposures for the multi-entry contests?
10:25 I am looking for some advice on my play. I have been playing the NFL main slate, some NFL showdown, and recently started NHL and NBA main slates. I have been following the profit plan for contest selection and trying to follow Jordan’s advice of getting more “shots on goal”. What can I do to correct this slide?
12:43 I’ve been looking into flashbacks comparing the highest sim ROI with actual ROI, most of the highest actual ROI lineups are grading out with negative sim roi. Should we avoid cutting negative ROI lineups from our builds?

18:18 For showdown can you explain geomean and how I create a filter in post-build for it?
22:46 If Im auto-filling 156 lineups some MME some single entries, I should not adjust min max exposures?

03:05 Should I be playing single-entry contests in NBA?
05:51 So when the Late Swap Best fill method is selected in Beta Late Swap, it does not matter which order the contests are incorrect?
07:10 What should I do to become more profitable?
12:22 Last night, I late-swapped my NBA lineups until the final two 10 PM games. My average projection dropped by 30 points between swaps 3 and 4. Is this drop normal with fewer games left, or could it be a bug?
13:49 What is the best approach to use direct/auto fill while only using single entries and/or 3 max?
18:37 If I just run a build and use SaberScore and min/max uniques and enter into the correct contest, will my lineups be unique or different enough from others to win a tournament?
21:30 What’s the best stack to run for NFL?
24:54 After running the contest sims and using the aggregate metric of less than 0 ROI takes over 75g of the pool, how shall handle that?
26:08 If we use Min/Max Uniques and our lineups drop from 150 to 60, should we adjust our exposures to meet the number of lineups we want to play or use the 60 SaberSim generates?

14:26 I ran a build for tonight's NBA slate 30 minutes ago, and lineups ranged from 400% to 180% ROI. I did the same build again, and it dropped to 150%-80%. A third build showed 130%-30%. Any idea why this is happening?
16:16 I remember you mentioning - when using the GEO Mean you should change the less than 1 percent ownership to 1. (.67-1) Am I correct and if so, can you explain why.
18:12 Why isn’t it updated like yours on the website, everything still says 0 for me.
18:40 Is it better to boost projections or lower projections to get more or less of a player or set min & max exposure?

01:48 I enter my entries prior to optimizing, but I don't always want a separate lineup for every entry. How do I change that?
05:08 I often hear the term "take a stand" in reference to players. What does that mean?
07:58 Should I filter out lineups with ownership totals over 350 to avoid potential dupes, even though they have high SimROI, or should I keep them and diversify in other ways like using Min Uniques?
17:16 Can you kinda break down how you would navigate this NHL slate?
18:43 Can you explain the unique number?
20:55 For yesterday’s NFL showdown video, does using rules instead of filters affect the targets, ROI, and projections?
23:06 So ideally, you'd want your unique count to be greater than 1 to ensure diversification, correct?

15:44 I've noticed after making adjustments, that my saved lineups will be greater than the number of lineups in my field- what is happening here?
