Understanding the Contest Generator
The process starts with the Contest Generator, which builds a set of lineups that match what the field is expected to have. This means that NASCAR DFS ownership projections, salary allocations and common lineup constructions are all accounted for. There are different pool sizes available depending on your DFS needs.
- The Core Package allows you to build up to 1,000 lineups. This is ideal for single-entry or small multi-entry contests.
- The Max Package allows you to build up to 10,000 lineups. This is best for high-volume players entering large-field contests.
To maximize effectiveness, you should generate a lineup pool size that closely mirrors the field of the contest you’re entering. For example:
- Single Entry Tournament with 2,000 entries: Generate 1,000 lineups
- Large-Field 150-Max Contests: Generate 10,000 lineups
Additionally, the settings allow you to tailor lineups based on the stakes you’re playing:
- High Stakes (e.g., $200 Single Entry): Adjusts ownership projections to reflect sharper field tendencies.
- Low Stakes (e.g., 25¢ Arcade): Adjusts NASCAR DFS projections to reflect a more casual player base.
- Marquee Setting: Used for flagship contests like the $15 150-max, ensuring optimized lineups for the largest prize pools.
After about 45 seconds to a minute, your lineups will be built, allowing you to analyze them further.
Analyzing Ownership and Adjusting Lineups
Once your lineups are generated, you’ll see key data such as pool exposure, which reflects how often each driver appears in your lineups. This is compared to Stokastic’s ownership projections, giving you insights into potential leverage spots.
- If a driver’s projected ownership seems too high, you can manually lower their exposure.
- Conversely, if you believe a driver is under-owned, you can increase their exposure by adjusting the settings.
Duplication is another crucial factor in profitability. If a lineup is duplicated multiple times in a large-field tournament, your expected payout decreases. Stokastic’s NASCAR Sims help identify highly duplicated lineups, allowing you to refine your builds for maximum ROI.
Simulating Lineups for Maximum ROI
After refining your lineups, the next step is to run the contest simulations. This process simulates the race on a lap-by-lap basis thousands of times, accounting for various factors like accidents, fastest laps and lead changes. The results provide a projection of which lineups are expected to be the most profitable.
Key steps in this process:
- Ensure Correct Race and Site Selection: Choose the correct slate and platform (DraftKings or FanDuel).
- Adjust Percentage to First Place Payout:
- If a contest has a $3 million prize pool with $1 million to first, set it to 35% to first.
- If a contest has a $100,000 prize pool with $10,000 to first, set it to 10% to first.
- Run the Simulations: The tool will simulate the race and identify lineups with the highest expected ROI.
Customizing Projections and Finalizing Lineups
If you want further customization, you can manually adjust driver projections within the tool. You can:
- Manually input new projection values.
- Use the up/down arrows to tweak projections in small increments.
- Upload a custom CSV with your own projections and ownership estimates.
The final step is exporting your optimized lineups and entering them into your desired contests, ensuring you’re playing the highest-ROI lineups possible based on Stokastic’s NASCAR Sims.
