    DFS Q&A: How Does Using Geomean Affect Showdown Lineups?

    In this episode, Andrew talks about how the Geomean filter works on showdown slates. Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/7MrdMLCvoZU   00:00 Intro 01:30 How do you lock a player in the flex, and is it always smart to do so for late swap flexibility? 04:05 Is there a way to make sure a QB is stacked with a certain receiver? 05:39 How do I go about making a filter with two steps in my lineup pool? 06:58 Can you go over the process of uploading a set of lineups to SaberSim, then running contest sims against that set of lineups? 10:12 If I build lineups 2 hours before a slate and then build again 20 minutes before lock, and some of the contest sims from the first build are projected to have higher projections and/or ROI than the later build, does that mean the first build is actually stronger? 12:26 If one uses Geomean on a showdown slate and the winning “optimal” lineup ends up being a duplicated lineup and prize winnings are shared among many, does that mean that because one did the Geomean filter that they probably will not have that winning lineup? 15:01 I’m trying to get D Knox, J Hill & Jackson Hawes at the flex, but SS can’t generate a lineup. As a follow-up up if I want 3 players at the flex 1 under 15%,1 under 10% and 1 under 5% what’s the rule setup? 18:05 Is ROI not available during the $7 trial version? 23:30 How do "My Projection" scores affect the ROI for contest sims? 24:40 Is SaberSim doing projections & sims for soccer DFS? 25:59 In single-game formats like tonight. How do I set my sims to lock in 1 MVP?

    DFS Q&A: How Do You Know When to Change Sim Diversity?

    In this episode, Andrew explains when it makes sense to adjust sim diversity and what impact those changes can have on your lineups. Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/S7zP42g2gEI 00:00 Intro 01:28 Is there a way to use different ownership values in the same build and only apply those ownerships to the applicable contests? 04:15 Is there a way to save my column setup across all builds? 05:12 On the contest tab, you can enable the contests you are entering, but you can't change them there. Does that mean those are the field lineups the contests are using in the build itself? 06:00 Would it be possible to discuss use cases where someone might manually raise or lower sim diversity? 13:18 Is it possible to build and download a set of lineups without uploading entries first? 15:10 Say I want different player pools for my 150-max. 20-max, and SE contests in a classic NFL slate. What is the best way to build? 15:35 Is there a way to tell Saber not to use RB’s as part of a primary team stack? 16:24 Are we able to download leaderboards from contest flashback? 17:27 I'm on mobile and was trying to download the flashback but I did not see where to. Did I miss something, or does it update later during the day?

    DFS Q&A: What’s the Best Way to Build a Lineup Pool on the Starter Plan?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/Q-gELu1TZus   00:00 Intro 01:20 Could you explain the Settings correlation/sim diversity? 05:18 I remember the general rule of filtering out lineups with a negative ROI. But with the higher percentages showing, should I consider setting a filter for a higher number than 0? 10:27 After using Geomean /Sum Ownership for tomorrow’s NFL slate, If we still have takes, should we still adjust exposures to a certain player or just trust the sims? 17:32 How come when creating templates under editor it leaves copies left? 28:00 If I don't have contest sims, what is the best way for me to build a pool of lineups? Should I blindly trust the sims and run it, or should I cut the pool? 30:40 Is it more important to have accurate ownership or accurate projections? 36:09 Is the portfolio+ just the roi? 37:03 How do you see ROI, etc, on mobile? 43:25 I accidentally deleted the default templates. How do I get them back? 44:30 Can you explain what geomean is? 48:30 If I create a core in the lineup builder and then build lineups from it that I want to use in my SE contests, how do I move them into the lineup group that I created for my SE contests?

Could you walk me through how you’d handle both types of contests in the same slate using SaberSim? 09:32 Is there a way to see the FLEX positional percentage of my total lineups? 11:11 If I were to combine all the Single entries into one large group and then adjust the minimum and maximum, would that percentage be applied to the overall group? 15:33 How do you see all the stats and everything on mobile? 16:55 If I'm split on my satellites with some that are single-entry sat and some that are multi-entry, and I want to go all in on the best possible lineup for JUST the single-entry sats, how would I do that?

Is there a way to achieve this? 18:55 Is there a way to set a percentage for the flex position? 23:58 The min, med, and max target sim ROI numbers look much better compared to having all of my contests in a single lineup group.

And are they taking into account Sims that aren't available in Flashback yet? 19:20 If I set uniques to 3 that will do it to my total lineup pool across all contests, correct? 21:05 When do you recommend scaling up or down your slate wagers when experiencing bankroll growth or losses? 21:40 If you have time, would you mind showing how to account / filter for dupes in NFL SD with the new SS interface? 22:38 On Ultimate, I am looking to build different Lineups/Pools by contest types; rather than build all my lineups from one lineup pool.
