00:00 Intro
01:25 With 30 minutes before lock, no late swaps, and only SaberSim for research, what would be your process?
03:09 If I set up two rules, for example, (first rule) use 2 players with my proj greater than 15 and salary less than $4.5k, and (second rule) use 1 player less than $4k, will SaberSim use 1 player who would satisfy both rules?
04:45 Can you please show how to set up rules for example stacking MVP with two players from the same team?
06:40 It seems # of dupes can be important in certain slates. Can you show how one could do a build for tonight's NFL slate with a dupe rule of let's say I want 0-50 dupes max?
10:05 What's your general strategy on the night slate vs the regular main slate?
12:02 While filling into the contests, what are the advantages and/or disadvantages of individually using direct vs auto-fill?
17:23 Is there a difference between using Contest Sims ROI after building lineups and running sims or choosing the specific contest and using ROI?
18:53 Do you have a suggested site for researching players or news?
21:10 If playing multiple contests, is it better to fill one up and then run another sim on the next contest I want to play?
23:52 How do you approach adjusting min uniques once you late swap?
26:37 For auto-fill, is it advisable to select the correct ROI per contest or leave it as ROI?
28:37 After u sum, do you make a filter by proj or SaberScore?
32:00 If you’re sorting by roi why would you set a filter to include roi greater than 0?

In this episode, Andrew walks through his process for incorporating research into DFS builds.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/501NJ6zP-oI

00:00 Intro
01:20 I’ve been getting really high Sim ROI results on beta but have been losing every slate, I switched back to the main SaberSim last night and got bad ROI scores but took down the Mini Max. Same process, what could explain this?
02:45 How do you go about adding your research to the builds and sims?
06:45 Is there any rationale to adjusting the build “correlation” and “sim diversity” sliders just to get different from other users say on a normal NBA slate, or are these presets well figured out for a given slate size?
12:52 The NBA late swap beta videos said the new updates would be on the app, I’m not seeing it so far am I missing something?
18:25 How can I filter out players with low minutes?

00:00 Intro
02:22 I have a quick question, is there a way to set the Pool of lineups to match exposures?
08:47 Is it possible to add more builds to the Contest Flashback feature for research purposes based on the review lineups?
10:36 Do you have a personal rule of thumb on how heavy you will go on ANY given player in a slate?
15:56 When looking at teams for NBA how much will you bump a team or game to make your core and let SaberSim pick players from those games and/or teams?
18:38 How much do you tinker with correlation and/or stacks in NBA?

In this episode, Andrew takes you step-by-step through the NBA Late Swap process.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/TShfsCMCBWk

00:00 Intro
04:20 Is there a way to run a portfolio of lineups with multiple geomeans?
05:52 For NBA, when trying to go 2x over the field, how does that apply to the game or a team since there's no ownership by either team or game if interested in doing so, is there some basic number to go by on 20 or 150 max?
07:42 Should I be changing min uniques when late swapping?
09:30 I remember when using the simulator I could select Cash. Now I only see GPP, Multiple, and Satellite.
11:28 Can you help me further understand the Max large slate, Med large slate, etc numbers when building lineups?
16:42 I have been struggling lately to get Late Swap to work the way I want. Is this an error on my side or is there something wrong with the late swap functionality?
21:30 I can't use the gray button, when I do, it sometimes doesn't work at all, other times it'll be up the build window.
24:29 What's the easiest way in NFL showdown to make sure IF a defense is in the lineup, to also have an RB from the same team in that lineup?

In this episode, Andrew breaks down the mechanics of how SaberSim works.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/-_CzDyj72LQ

00:00 Intro
01:30 How does the builder work?
05:36 If you make a projection change to certain players do the live sims see how close you came to your projections or the original projections that SaberSim had for that player?
07:41 If you enter tons of contests MME, SE, etc. Is there potential value in doing 2 different contest lineup builds then running sims?
09:40 Would I give myself a better shot if I sacrifice a bit of ROI and play a less chalky lineup?
13:52 When we run contest sims it uses the specific contest ownership bucket correct?
15:45 Would you please show a build for both multipliers and also satellites?
19:43 Is there a cap on ownership per player you have for NFL/NBA?
21:55 Does increasing the team total on the Team Stacks tab give more opportunities or overall projections to the players on that team?
26:45 How likely are dupes between two guys using Contest Sims in SaberSim for the same NBA 150 max contest?
29:08 Can you do a short explanation of what is a good ROI number?
30:27 Since we are trying to top optimal using the optimizer does it matter if I look at the top 10 the same way as I chose just 1 instead?

In this episode: Andrew shares advice on maximizing your edge with NBA late swap.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/ph73mrCei2E

00:00 Intro
01:20 If you build NBA lineups at 6:30 for a 7:00 slate and at 6:50 there is a projection change do you have to do a full rebuild to factor the change or can you remove the saved lineups, hit refresh, and then save in autofill again to account for the change?
06:52 When Late Swapping, what's the easiest way to preserve specific lineups from the original set from being late swapped?
08:42 My normal NBA Classic slate is 3 20-max contests and a couple of SE contests. One single build, auto-fill unique. Usually just Min Uniques for adjustments. For the most part, my post-contest ROI for the 20-Max is usually near the top, but struggle a little bit more in the SE's. It's still positive but seems to be lacking. Any suggestions?
10:45 Are SaberSim field lineups the product of SaberSim ownership percentages or are ownership projections a product of the field lineups?
12:35 I noticed lineups ( i.e. giant squid in last Sunday's million maker) with negative ROI are taking down contests. However, the poker player in tells me to ignore that and it should even out. Would it be the same approach?

In this episode, Andrew breaks down how different minimum salary settings can influence your DFS lineup strategy.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/9exPbplVWvM

00:00 Intro
04:50 What's the best way to set a geomean on the Starter plan?
06:25 When looking at min salary on any sports, what's the difference when using the default vs 0 min salary?
13:22 In my pre-lock build I usually have a few rules, for example, a minimum projection rule. After the first game's lock, how does that min projection rule work when I swap?
14:25 If fewer duplicates mean a better chance of 1st place finish/or top positions being hit - does it make sense to have geometric mean greater than 25 as a rule for all sports main slate/showdown every single time?
17:30 How do I review my lineups from NFL week 10?
19:10 Whenever I run my builds for NBA my initial builds typically come back with anywhere from 80 to 100% exposure to some of the cheaper high-value guys on the slate. Is there a rule to set to avoid this?

In this episode, Andrew explores strategies for reducing duplicates.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/dHLWonhssU4

00:00 Intro
02:18 Would you recommend sorting by minutes played for a filter?
03:54 Does the post-contest sim win rate count for solo binks only or any 1st place?
04:25 Can you cover what adjustments the sim will make for the cup in the NBA this week?
06:25 In the process of increasing min uniques does that also reduce duplicates?
11:25 Is it possible to download the field lineups (Low Stakes 20-Max, Flagship MME, etc)?
11:50 If you upload NBA projections for a late swap build after lock. Do players that have already locked use the uploaded projections or the live SaberSim projections?
12:55 How do I get more of a player in my overall lineup pool?
14:30 I added showdown contests on DraftKings NFL and then imported lineups again to SaberSim and this obviously overwrote my existing contests build info. Is there a better way to import new contests?
16:24 Can you explain the new "Generate Field from Ownership" feature?
18:48 If updated projections/ownership come in before lock do I need to rebuild or can I just run new sims?
21:05 Can I upload custom projections without it overwriting the current custom projections?
22:42 Almost none of the millionaire maker winners this year had a positive sim ROI. If you go down to the top 20 spots, it’s about 50%. Is it worth using a Roi filter?
24:30 Do you recommend changing the salary min max for NFL main slates, or showdown?
29:35 We can see a player's overall portfolio exposure. Is there any way to see which contest each player is in?

In this episode, Andrew highlights the key differences between the Starter and Ultimate plans and shares tips on building great lineups without running contest simulations.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/MQmVsaMjhJQ

00:00 Intro
01:50 Has anyone found a setting or a way to better maximize the best lineups without using contest sims in Ultimate?
08:28 Under the Starter plan, are there similar settings for multipliers and single entries in the new SaberSim?
13:45 Does upping Min Uniques still have value or increase the chance of big wins if on the ultimate plan?
16:39 I see many users in chat mention the use of separate builds for certain types of contests (MME, 20-max, SE, WTA). I’m confused on the impact or benefits of doing this in terms of lineup diversity vs maximizing ROI.
19:20 Can you share your Showdown strategy/approach for builds targeting 20max versus SATs?
24:46 Does the post-contest sim ROI take into account the diversity/overall portfolio of line-ups?
26:30 Is there a difference if you generate lineups with a 49k cap or if you generate with a 50k cap and delete the lineups over 49k?
29:00 What do you think about creating a custom field of 5k using the average of all the ownership buckets?
30:19 How would you configure the settings for the best lineup in a single-entry contest?
