What is the difference between MMA Data + Sims and MMA
Sims MAX?
With our MMA Data + Sims package, you’ll get access to all of our MMA data as well as access to our MMA contest generator and MMA Sims, allowing you to generate and simulate up to 500 lineups. This package is great for smaller field contest simulations. Our MMA Sims MAX package offers unlimited access to all our data and the capability to generate and simulate up to 10,000 lineups at a time. Sims MAX is the premier DFS package on the market for high volume, large field GPP players.
What is MMa Sims?
MMA Sims is an advanced simulation tool the redefines the landscape of Daily Fantasy Sports tools. Import lineups through our contest generator, or by uploading a .csv file containing lineups and pit them against each other in a lifelike MMA slate simulation. While seasoned pros have long leveraged simulation tools, now you too can effortlessly create your own custom simulation within minutes.
Here’s how it works: simply upload a .csv file featuring precisely 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, or 10,000 lineups. These lineups can be built using an optimizer, or by using our MMA Contest Generator. From there, tailor your simulations using your own custom projections or simply use Stokastic’s reliable MMA projections as a default option. With a click of the “Run Contest Simulation” button, your simulation will begin. Within minutes, you’ll gain access to a wealth of data points, both at the player and lineup levels. This will provide you with invaluable insights to make informed decisions about which lineups to enter for any given slate.
What is the Contest Generator?
The Contest Generator is a powerful tool that enables users to quickly and efficiently create a collection of lineups that closely align with our projected ownership for a specific slate. Users can customize their pool easily by boosting individual player ownership, and setting desired stack type exposures. After the lineups are created, users can seamlessly send them directly to our pre-contest simulator for further in-depth analysis by clicking the “Simulate Lineups” button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
Is correlation taken into account for the simulations?
Yes. Stokastic’s proprietary simulation technology leverages hundreds of thousands of data points to integrate correlation directly into the simulations.
How do I build my contest pool?
Using our MMA Contest Generator, or any other optimizer of your choice, you can quickly and effectively create your contest pool. We recommend building a lineup set that mirrors what the field will look like for the contest you plan on entering. The more accurate your pool of lineups reflect the actual lineups that will be in the contest you are playing in, the better your simulation results will be.
Which metrics are most important to look at?
While all the metrics on both the pre and post contest simulator tools are important, the gold standard metric is the ‘Simulated ROI%’ column. This column presents a lineup’s ROI percentage based on the simulations that were ran. It’s the gold standard metric on this page, essentially ranking the lineups from best to worst.
What is the difference between the pre and post contest simulations?
The pre-contest simulation tool relies on the user’s inputs for both the lineups and the projections. It will provide insights based only on the uploaded lineups.
The post-contest simulation tool takes the actual lineups that were entered into a contest on DraftKings, and runs a simulation on them. There are no user inputs for this tool, as it relies on the exact lineups that were entered and Stokastic’s projections to run the simulation. This tool is only available for DraftKings contests.
What sites do these tools support?
Our MMA simulation tools support DraftKings and FanDuel contests.
Why is Fanduel not supported for the post-contest simulator?
Unfortunately, FanDuel does not support the exporting of their contest files like DraftKings does. Therefore, there is no way for us to retrieve the actual lineups that are being used for the contests. Without the actual lineups, there is no way for us to run a post contest simulation.
How is this different from other simulation tools on the market?
Game level simulation tools exist on the market currently to help users with projecting player performance. However, nowhere else do users have the ability to perform simulations on the contest level, making this tool one of a kind. This tool allows for analysis at the lineup level to help you find the edge. Gain insights into how ownership impacts ROI, and which players contribute most to high ROI lineups.
