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?
