Show Notes

In this episode, Andrew discusses best practices for setting correlation and sim diversity in NBA builds.

00:00 Intro
01:22 If i have 2 contest, mini max and play action, and 2 builds, contrarian and balanced, how do i get the contrarian into the mini max and balanced in the play action then save the entries?
02:50 Can you discuss Portfolio Sim EV and Flashback ROI, if both of them are positive your builds are sound the remaining variable is variance which you cannot control. Keep building sound lineups, variance will swing. Thats it in a nutshell?
05:08 Testing some fanduel NBA showdown builds for tonight and it seems to struggle to get above 2000 lineups built. any particular reason for that?
06:42 For a short slate like tonight, I want a mix of lineups including some that focus on game stacks, as well as some that prioritize a team's bench over their starters. Is it possible to do this without building the lineups separately with strict rules or adjusted projections?
07:52 What are methodological best practices for correlation and sim diversity settings in NBA?
10:30 Do we adjust the contest selection or build settings for NBA small slates compared to larger slates?
