00:00 Intro
12:51 What is your Strategy for NFL Fanduel SD for the big 150 maxes under $3 and for the ones over $3?
25:00 What's the best way to create a rule that does not allow QB vs OPP DST, but does allow RB/WR/TE vs OPP DST?
27:24 The DFS profit plan says to enter about 50% of your daily betting amount in 20-maxers (diversifier) contests and about 50% in single-entry and 3-maxers (multiplier) contests. In contrast, the new CFB Cheatsheet video suggests you load up on single-entry contests first, then 3-maxers, then 20-maxers, and then 150-maxers in that order as the daily betting budget permits. Which of these two strategies is the current SaberSim recommendation?
31:20 Do you recommend building naked first and then making changes post-build or making changes first and then building a set of 5K lineups?
34:34There seems to be varying opinions around the industry on playing a +ROI portfolio.
39:15 Is your contest selection strategy any different for NFL Showdown this year than it is for classic contests?
39:45 What are some quick ways to get different results using portfolio diversity?
41:50 Can you go over some scenarios where we might want to use the new lineup group templates?
