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?
16:32 Is there a video doing a deeper dive on how to use this flashback tool & grading yourself compared to others?
17:12 What would be the best way to sort golfers in an event like the Amex?
18:32 In late swap, is it ok to sort by ROI instead of portfolio+ if I am only playing a handful of lineups?
19:45 Would you advise against matching exposure to ownership, like at 25% or some other percentage, rather the default setting of 15%?
