00:00 Intro
02:12 How do I adjust the sliders for NBA showdown?
07:13 Does Flashback ROI number include the rake?
08:30 Is there a recommended approach when setting min/max exposures?
12:56 I’m literally coming in last whenever I play cash games. If SaberSim appoints lineups based on contests, why is my cash lineup always filled with players below 10% owned?
18:56 What's the best way to set up correlation in lineups?
23:15 Is the 20000 lineup pool included in the ultimate plan?
23:50 Can you clarify this for me a bit about what I am looking at for flashbacks?
29:21 When I’m looking at a lineup that has say 105% ROI, how can I assess the volatility of the lineup using the other metrics that are available in the lineup tab?
36:35 When late swapping, I simply refresh projections, click late swap, and press build swaps right before every game, and let the tools do their thing. Should there be more to my process?
