WHAT TO EXPECT
INSIDE THE MIND is an ongoing series focused on strategy, process and application.
This series will feature content where I’m breaking down my own process on playing different DFS sports, using tools, creating goals, bankroll management, contest-selection and much more.
New episodes will be available each month.
INSIDE THE MIND:
PGA - BUILDING IN SETS
This episode of INSIDE THE MIND features special guest: mbhabes aka Sheets.
I talk to Eric about his strategy and process for NBA using SaberSim. He shares his screen and shows his exact process leading up to NBA lock!
Some key things we talk about include:
• Why it’s not a big deal to share this process.
• Using min-uniques to compare against his lineups and find the “sweet spot” he’s comfortable with.
• Running contest sims and accepting the created contest fields.
• “The more diverse you can get, the better!”
• You can’t just press buttons and win. There’s still a process within the tools!
All this and more!

INSIDE THE MIND:
NFL - 2-4 GAME SLATES

Some key things we talk about include:
• How to attack a short-slate by looking at positions/options and not just the game totals.
• Hunting for “had to have it” scores and ways to fit more of them into a lineup.
