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?
