00:00 Intro
02:05 I play almost every slate available for cash games across basically all sports with minimal bankroll commitment per slate, and I’ve had success with that. Trying to translate that to GPP play with the DFS Profit Plan, would you recommend playing a lower bankroll percentage and still playing a lot of these uncorrelated slates?
08:24 Can I use the optimizer to build my set of 5000 lineups and then use the contest sims to evaluate them, or am I only able to use contest sims against lineups built using the sim builder?
14:41 If I set correlation to 0, does that mean I will still get the correlation built into the game simulations?
20:58 What is the advantage of uploading custom projections? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the play by play sims that are run to create the SaberSim projections?
23:34 Can you help me out with this late-game slate in MLB? Right now, in a single entry for a large field over 18,000, I have a Rangers pitcher and an Astros pitcher. I think the game is under. So you think stanking the second game would be the way to go?
27:23 When it comes to bankroll management, I started with three thousand back in September and stuck with the profit plan, only playing with no more than 5% of my bankroll. Today, I'm down to 400 dollars. Is it ok to reload with another 3 thousand dollars?
