- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, all system's going clear the left up?
- 0:41Speaker 2: What's up? Every one? Tyler Tamberline here aka Totagg and
- 0:43Speaker 2: Tambo back for another edition of Leverage Lane here on
- 0:47Speaker 2: the Ship and Nation YouTube station, PG A d f
- 0:49Speaker 2: S edition where we teach you how to play, not
- 0:52Speaker 2: who to play? Going to be breaking it down from
- 0:53Speaker 2: a single entry g VP perspective. Got my man, Alex
- 0:57Speaker 2: Blickle here with me as always and all quickly you
- 1:00Speaker 2: dressed the elephant in the room new year knew me.
- 1:01Speaker 2: I do appreciate all the birthday wishes in the chat,
- 1:05Speaker 2: but if I'm gonna be a year older, I want
- 1:07Speaker 2: to feel ten years younger. So the mustache bit is over.
- 1:10Speaker 2: We've ended it, We've called it quit. Scottie got the
- 1:13Speaker 2: w last week, Alex, my man, what's going on? How
- 1:15Speaker 2: you doing?
- 1:15Speaker 3: My friend doing very well. We've got just a phenomenal
- 1:19Speaker 3: tournament this week. I think we probably agree that, like
- 1:22Speaker 3: if last week wasn't the second week of the season,
- 1:24Speaker 3: when we're still just so hyped to have PG back,
- 1:27Speaker 3: we're probably not super into that tournament. This one's just
- 1:30Speaker 3: really good all around the boards. Phenomenal golf course, phenomenal field.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Really excited to dive in.
- 1:35Speaker 2: I love this event. It's actually just a quick story time.
- 1:37Speaker 2: This is the first ever big PGA win I ever had.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Was we'll date it really far back. Robert Gerrigis was
- 1:43Speaker 2: in the lineup and it was a south course north
- 1:47Speaker 2: course lineup. I built a six tozer south first North.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Everyone was telling me you had to start on the
- 1:52Speaker 2: north and the mindset of golfers they know so well,
- 1:55Speaker 2: like you're a golfer yourself, as you know, we've talked
- 1:57Speaker 2: with this in the past. I said, no, no, no, get
- 1:59Speaker 2: the herd shit out of the way first. Then you'll
- 2:02Speaker 2: feel real good going into the north course. Score low,
- 2:05Speaker 2: just make the cut and then whatever happens happens. And
- 2:07Speaker 2: it was the back in the day. It was a
- 2:09Speaker 2: three dollars twenty max. This is the condess have changed
- 2:12Speaker 2: a little bit, but it was a three dollars four
- 2:13Speaker 2: dollars twenty max I think. And it ended up being
- 2:15Speaker 2: forty k for second place. So, uh, first ever huge
- 2:18Speaker 2: score on the Pgadfstuytes was at this event but excited
- 2:22Speaker 2: about this one. So yeah, no, the bit just ended, Tim,
- 2:25Speaker 2: you know, the bit just ended. We had it along.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I got third in the million Maaker. I tried to
- 2:29Speaker 2: prove these people wrong. I had my best, second best,
- 2:32Speaker 2: I should say best in a while, but second best
- 2:34Speaker 2: NFL DFS season ever, and we still got the super Bowl.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Anything could happen, but the super Bowl is like three
- 2:39Speaker 2: K in entries, max it try and win this insane
- 2:42Speaker 2: big tournament. Whatever happens happens. If if I ship that great,
- 2:45Speaker 2: if I don't. I don't think the mustache plays a fact.
- 2:47Speaker 2: You guys know, I don't believe in Jinx's MUSHes, none
- 2:49Speaker 2: of that shit. I don't care about any of it.
- 2:51Speaker 2: So Alex, let's talk about last week a little bit. First,
- 2:54Speaker 2: we recap it. Obviously, as people know, we are going
- 2:56Speaker 2: to be talking about farmers, but this show is meant
- 2:59Speaker 2: to be just sort of lure and go edutainment, if
- 3:01Speaker 2: you will. We're trying to bring some education with some entertainment,
- 3:04Speaker 2: bring it towards this week. But we do got to
- 3:05Speaker 2: talk about last week a couple things. One up the
- 3:08Speaker 2: top was the Scotty win but some of those guys
- 3:11Speaker 2: not coming with him, and then like round four showdown
- 3:14Speaker 2: where he won but still wasn't even close to being needed.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And then I also think there was some stuff with
- 3:18Speaker 2: ownership like Rico hooey. I thought he was gonna be
- 3:21Speaker 2: twenty percent. Nope, that was Ryan Gerard and so little
- 3:23Speaker 2: things like that. Where do you want to start, my friend?
- 3:25Speaker 2: Just quickly recap last week.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a pretty solid week for me. I
- 3:31Speaker 3: missed out on mainslate again, but second week in Rower
- 3:34Speaker 3: had a really good showdown day. This time it was
- 3:36Speaker 3: round four. Last week it was round three, and yeah,
- 3:39Speaker 3: it was really interesting because I didn't have Scotti in
- 3:42Speaker 3: that round four showdown got I think was fifth place
- 3:46Speaker 3: twenty five hundred bucks, and I had four percent Jason
- 3:50Speaker 3: Day explosion. And I also had the Wyndham Clark who
- 3:55Speaker 3: really did nothing at all, And so you know, if
- 3:57Speaker 3: Wyndham had played, well, I'm right there. No one above
- 3:59Speaker 3: me had Windham, so I really had a chance. And
- 4:03Speaker 3: I think the key is I might have been able
- 4:06Speaker 3: to fit Day with a Scotti lineup, like maybe there
- 4:09Speaker 3: was a way to do that salary wise, But I
- 4:12Speaker 3: wouldn't have had Day because Day wasn't like someone that
- 4:14Speaker 3: I had this major conviction on it, and I was
- 4:17Speaker 3: always gonna play Jason Day no matter what. Day was
- 4:19Speaker 3: just one of many guys that I really liked in
- 4:21Speaker 3: that price range that I could get because I didn't
- 4:24Speaker 3: have Scotty, so I had foul or I had Henley,
- 4:28Speaker 3: I had Day. It was like, any of these guys
- 4:29Speaker 3: can be the really low and separator for me today
- 4:32Speaker 3: it happened to end up being Jason Day, but I
- 4:36Speaker 3: only had that many chances for a separator of that
- 4:39Speaker 3: magnitude because I wasn't using Scotty. And I think the
- 4:42Speaker 3: point is we're finally maybe getting to a point where,
- 4:45Speaker 3: particularly in showdowns, Scotty has priced so well that he
- 4:50Speaker 3: absolutely has to get first place, He has to win,
- 4:52Speaker 3: he has to be the high score of the day
- 4:54Speaker 3: to really be necessary, just because he takes so much
- 4:58Speaker 3: away from what you can do in the rest of
- 5:00Speaker 3: your lineup. And you know, having the chance to have
- 5:03Speaker 3: separate ors who are actually good golfers and not very
- 5:07Speaker 3: you know, bottom of the of the price school, you
- 5:09Speaker 3: need them to have like an absolute career day to
- 5:11Speaker 3: be great for you type type of performance. So that
- 5:14Speaker 3: was a big takeaway for me, And I think that
- 5:15Speaker 3: does extend to the main slate at least a little bit,
- 5:17Speaker 3: but certainly not as much as it does to showdowns.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to add to that, because I mean,
- 5:22Speaker 2: this is not going to be any victory. Lap. I
- 5:23Speaker 2: can promise you that I got to I had sixty
- 5:25Speaker 2: percent Scotty last week and still lost. So it's like
- 5:28Speaker 2: it doesn't matter about just getting Scotty, and that's part
- 5:30Speaker 2: of it. But I will say, like to even this point,
- 5:32Speaker 2: so he moonwalked further than I even expected, twenty seven
- 5:35Speaker 2: percent in the flagship. Obviously, different single entries things like
- 5:38Speaker 2: that we're going to talk about here are different. But
- 5:40Speaker 2: that's the main pole with what we were talking about.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I know a ton of people reached out to me
- 5:44Speaker 2: directly in the discords things like that in the open
- 5:47Speaker 2: talking about our math examples, and they loved how we
- 5:49Speaker 2: sort of went through that. You really went through it.
- 5:51Speaker 2: We're able to break it down. They love that you
- 5:52Speaker 2: had it ready in real time to go on, like, okay,
- 5:54Speaker 2: if this then that funny enough. The guy we mixed
- 5:57Speaker 2: into the second round was see Wu, who obviously a
- 6:00Speaker 2: great Sunday but he was another guy that was right
- 6:02Speaker 2: up there. But the second part of this statement from
- 6:05Speaker 2: my man new Ones is so correct. Early. I know,
- 6:07Speaker 2: two weeks in, I get it, but football is going
- 6:09Speaker 2: on and touts whatever you want to. I mean, it
- 6:12Speaker 2: doesn't really matter whatever you call him, cal him. But
- 6:14Speaker 2: at my point, is anybody talking about DFS. It's obviously
- 6:17Speaker 2: very niche in the space when you have I call
- 6:20Speaker 2: him lazy weeks. I don't think last week was lazy
- 6:22Speaker 2: at all. More people are digging in than ever now,
- 6:24Speaker 2: but I'm saying more of if someone says one thing
- 6:26Speaker 2: like Gerard was really hyped up in a lot of
- 6:29Speaker 2: places last week, and clearly for good reason, they were correct.
- 6:32Speaker 2: He came through and had himself a what was it
- 6:34Speaker 2: T two with everybody else that was there, so he
- 6:37Speaker 2: got the love HOEI did not right, And if you listened,
- 6:40Speaker 2: a lot of people were saying, like, ho, he's been good.
- 6:42Speaker 2: But if you kind of did good chock bad chock
- 6:44Speaker 2: hoey would have immediately been thrown into like the pile
- 6:47Speaker 2: of like why are we really playing him when there's
- 6:48Speaker 2: dozens of guys around him. There's not that much of
- 6:50Speaker 2: it between Gerard, but people were backing him. So yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 2: early in this specifically and then on some of those
- 6:56Speaker 2: lazy weeks, the weeks before major or after a maure
- 7:00Speaker 2: sometimes people are playing a little bit more to what
- 7:03Speaker 2: people are saying, and that goes both ways that you know,
- 7:06Speaker 2: that's who should I be on. Well, it can really
- 7:09Speaker 2: get amped up in a certain range like the mid
- 7:11Speaker 2: sevens where these guys were. It can also really go
- 7:13Speaker 2: against somebody if someone's saying, no, don't do this in
- 7:16Speaker 2: this range, because that's where people say, well, they told
- 7:20Speaker 2: me to be kind of bullshit to play that guy.
- 7:21Speaker 2: I'm just not going to play that guy. And on
- 7:23Speaker 2: certain weeks, Alex, it does get amped up a little
- 7:25Speaker 2: more than others. And I would say because we're still
- 7:27Speaker 2: we were currently in the heart of the AFC Conference
- 7:30Speaker 2: Championships and NFC sorry, the NFL Conference Championships AFCNFC both
- 7:34Speaker 2: where you kind of get that set up of people
- 7:37Speaker 2: just looking at what others are saying and then playing
- 7:39Speaker 2: the game.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Well. Also, it's important to recognize, like this is sports specific,
- 7:44Speaker 3: and it makes sense because when you start the NFL season,
- 7:46Speaker 3: you get a lot of like NFL fans who are
- 7:49Speaker 3: trying DFS for the first time. When we get to
- 7:51Speaker 3: the start of PGA DFS season, we get a lot
- 7:54Speaker 3: of DFS players who are trying PGA DFS for the
- 7:57Speaker 3: first time. They're not as familiar with the players, so
- 8:00Speaker 3: of course they have to lean on on, you know,
- 8:02Speaker 3: their favorite experts a little bit more and projections a
- 8:04Speaker 3: little bit more than they do an NFL, where they're
- 8:06Speaker 3: really playing off their own ideas and their own you know,
- 8:09Speaker 3: feelings and opinions of players and things of that nature.
- 8:11Speaker 3: So one thing I do want to add is, you know,
- 8:15Speaker 3: we talked a lot last week about how Scotty ownership
- 8:19Speaker 3: would affect ownership everywhere else We ended up being pretty
- 8:22Speaker 3: dialed in on Scotty. We had him at thirty percent
- 8:25Speaker 3: in mm in, twenty nine percent in single entry. I
- 8:27Speaker 3: think he was like twenty four percent in single entry,
- 8:29Speaker 3: and I think you said like twenty seven percent of
- 8:31Speaker 3: the flag ships. I was pretty pleased with where we
- 8:33Speaker 3: ended on him, and it did set us up really
- 8:35Speaker 3: well elsewhere. It was actually one of our best weeks
- 8:37Speaker 3: ever for ownership, except we had one of the biggest
- 8:41Speaker 3: misses that I personally have ever had in ownership, which
- 8:43Speaker 3: was Rico Hoey, and that obviously was related to Girard.
- 8:47Speaker 3: And so I do want to spend a little bit
- 8:48Speaker 3: of time like really kind of talking through what the
- 8:51Speaker 3: hell happened with Rico Hoy's ownership, because we we had
- 8:54Speaker 3: him I think twenty four percent in single entries. I
- 8:56Speaker 3: don't even think we were the highest, and he came
- 8:58Speaker 3: into like eight percent and two hundred dollars single entry.
- 9:00Speaker 3: So I have my own personal thought. And by the way,
- 9:05Speaker 3: like I want to start by also mentioning he was
- 9:08Speaker 3: thirty four percent in the King of the Desert. So
- 9:10Speaker 3: it very much wasn't a case of like the industry
- 9:12Speaker 3: just didn't think as highly of him as we thought
- 9:16Speaker 3: the industry did. There was something else to it. So
- 9:19Speaker 3: I'm curious to hear your thoughts because then I have
- 9:21Speaker 3: some thoughts on my own as well.
- 9:22Speaker 2: I really don't have too many. I think like at
- 9:24Speaker 2: the end of the day, it's, you know, back to
- 9:25Speaker 2: the previous point the news kind of had. I think
- 9:27Speaker 2: just in the end, Girard was what people settled on,
- 9:30Speaker 2: and so I think it's more a product of people
- 9:33Speaker 2: listening to the positives than going against the negatives. Like
- 9:37Speaker 2: I didn't hear a lot of people say, oh, he's
- 9:39Speaker 2: a horrible play at seventy seven hundred. I heard it some,
- 9:41Speaker 2: of course, that gets out the discourse. I also heard
- 9:43Speaker 2: people say Girard is a horrible play at that ownership
- 9:46Speaker 2: or things like that, Like I get it, but I
- 9:47Speaker 2: think it's way more a product of Girard over hoe
- 9:51Speaker 2: and that's what ended up happening in the in the
- 9:53Speaker 2: end result as well, I think certainly, like from some
- 9:57Speaker 2: other perspectives, it's like maybe the types of lineups that
- 10:00Speaker 2: were being built, like but you know, to the point
- 10:02Speaker 2: of Scotty going backwards, Scotty moonwalking some it's like that
- 10:05Speaker 2: could allow for more of those guys to fit in,
- 10:07Speaker 2: So why wouldn't people have just played them together? Right,
- 10:09Speaker 2: That's that's part of the thought as well, So I'm
- 10:11Speaker 2: not too sure. I know, like in the balance builds,
- 10:13Speaker 2: that was one of the points I was bringing up
- 10:15Speaker 2: all week, even though Hoey was in the Scotty example.
- 10:18Speaker 2: It was like, if you were going to a more
- 10:20Speaker 2: balanced build, you could still land in that range, and
- 10:22Speaker 2: you would have thought it would have been more Hoey,
- 10:24Speaker 2: Girard and somebody else, maybe Burger if he could fit.
- 10:27Speaker 2: Maybe dropping down like that might have meant you had
- 10:29Speaker 2: to go from Henley to see Wu. I don't remember exactly,
- 10:32Speaker 2: but I just think it was definitely a Girard greater
- 10:34Speaker 2: than greater than Hoey thing for a lot of people
- 10:37Speaker 2: and I think they were being told that and they
- 10:39Speaker 2: went with it, because if you went to the projections
- 10:41Speaker 2: on all the sites, Hoey and Gerard were pretty close,
- 10:44Speaker 2: not too far apart of.
- 10:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you kind of nailed it at the
- 10:47Speaker 3: start there just talking about how like it was very
- 10:50Speaker 3: much a product of Gerard being right below him and
- 10:53Speaker 3: being like this clear secondary chalk where people saw an
- 10:57Speaker 3: opportunity to be more contrarian with a player that they
- 11:00Speaker 3: maybe had even more confidence in. And I think the
- 11:03Speaker 3: big takeaway for me is We're not going to get
- 11:06Speaker 3: this every single week. It's not like we're going to
- 11:07Speaker 3: look at every single field and we're going to be
- 11:09Speaker 3: able to say, oh, this guy's predicted a twenty percent,
- 11:12Speaker 3: this guy's projected at fifteen. That's going to flip. I
- 11:14Speaker 3: guarantee it. It's not going to be a situation like that.
- 11:17Speaker 3: But I do think we should be aware of the
- 11:19Speaker 3: fact that people are very much using more game theory
- 11:24Speaker 3: and using ownership to make like these more aggressive decisions.
- 11:28Speaker 3: They're doing that more now than they have in the past,
- 11:30Speaker 3: even like two years ago, three years ago in PJADFS,
- 11:33Speaker 3: So we want to be aware of that. And then
- 11:35Speaker 3: the second thing I'll say here is we talked about
- 11:38Speaker 3: conditional ownership a lot on Leverage Lane throughout the NFL
- 11:42Speaker 3: season and how we could get you know, unique combinations
- 11:45Speaker 3: of players by going to combos that people didn't really
- 11:47Speaker 3: think of. And I think there's also a scenario here
- 11:51Speaker 3: where we can do that sort of thing. People viewed
- 11:54Speaker 3: Girard as a direct pivot off of HOEI One way
- 11:58Speaker 3: we know that is Gerard came in almost like this
- 12:01Speaker 3: same amount higher than his ownership projections, then Hoey came
- 12:05Speaker 3: in under. So people really were making this decision of
- 12:08Speaker 3: I'm using Gerard instead of Hoey. Very few people said
- 12:11Speaker 3: I'll just use both. And so when we do get
- 12:14Speaker 3: these instances where there's a clear chalk and a clear
- 12:17Speaker 3: pivot above everybody else, I think we're going to be
- 12:20Speaker 3: able to get the combo of the two at at
- 12:23Speaker 3: like a pretty low combinatorial ownership, which is something we
- 12:26Speaker 3: saw last year as well. We've we've talked about the
- 12:28Speaker 3: example from uh, you know, the Scottish Open with Harry Hall,
- 12:32Speaker 3: Ryan Fox and Met Fitzpatrick before. So yeah, I think
- 12:36Speaker 3: that sort of thing is something we should be on
- 12:37Speaker 3: the lookout for again, like we're not We're not just
- 12:40Speaker 3: trying to provide analysis for for the weekend hand. We're
- 12:42Speaker 3: trying to do this like Evergreen, you know, DFS strategy
- 12:45Speaker 3: type thing. I think this idea of getting low combinatorial
- 12:48Speaker 3: ownership on guys when when other people are viewing them
- 12:51Speaker 3: as an or instead of a possible and is a
- 12:54Speaker 3: is a really good way to approach DFS, especially when
- 12:56Speaker 3: they're both projected as well as those two were this
- 12:58Speaker 3: past week.
- 12:59Speaker 2: And not a better time then Scotty at fourteen K
- 13:01Speaker 2: plus than this Forevergreen because it, guess what, I kind
- 13:04Speaker 2: of see it a lot this season. The guy literally
- 13:05Speaker 2: came out he's won for one. You can't win them
- 13:07Speaker 2: all if you don't win the first. Well, he got
- 13:08Speaker 2: that note over and done with. Bennett Scheffler has now
- 13:11Speaker 2: seen twelve wins and he's like two years old. It's
- 13:13Speaker 2: pretty infortant stuff. So looking at it from that perspective,
- 13:16Speaker 2: I mean, I called this out last week. It ended
- 13:19Speaker 2: up being a four to six. I think it was
- 13:21Speaker 2: justin Rose and I forget the other guy that let
- 13:23Speaker 2: me down. Not the best for remembering that stuff. I
- 13:25Speaker 2: have a good thought process going in, but I don't
- 13:27Speaker 2: have it right in front of me. But I do
- 13:28Speaker 2: have some of the other stuff. But you know, Girard
- 13:31Speaker 2: at nineteen sure, but Day fits Scotty member Scotty and
- 13:34Speaker 2: five under ten percent. Well, people don't like you nail
- 13:37Speaker 2: the point there. Oh I'm gonna move off hoe and
- 13:38Speaker 2: go to Girard. Yeah, you just hopped onto the train
- 13:40Speaker 2: that's about to be ten percent higher owned somewhere else.
- 13:43Speaker 2: It's like you can remove that range. And he said, well,
- 13:45Speaker 2: how would you know, Well, you talked about it last week.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Something that you like that I do, and I talk
- 13:50Speaker 2: about it all the time in football and in golf
- 13:52Speaker 2: of the people that the names or the play the
- 13:55Speaker 2: picks and plays quote unquote, the people are talking about
- 13:57Speaker 2: but not clicking, and they are clicking it. That's where
- 14:01Speaker 2: people get this confused. What I mean is though, it's like,
- 14:02Speaker 2: there's no way Jason Day was getting to ten percent.
- 14:05Speaker 2: So if you were landing in the low eight case
- 14:07Speaker 2: instead of the upper sevens, he's a great pivot there.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Not because of his result he was six percent. He
- 14:12Speaker 2: ended up giving you a good result, But you go
- 14:14Speaker 2: down the board a little bit. Sam Stevens like I
- 14:17Speaker 2: loved him last week. He was he was in my
- 14:18Speaker 2: line as one of those five under ten percent, he
- 14:21Speaker 2: was four point six nine percent. Thigala played him in
- 14:24Speaker 2: my core the week before, comes back, has another week
- 14:27Speaker 2: three percent at seventy two hundred. Hogy you liked him
- 14:30Speaker 2: the week before three percent at sixty five hundred, Bridgeman
- 14:33Speaker 2: six percent, Wyndham Clark five percent. These guys are putting
- 14:36Speaker 2: up one hundred and twenty points almost and the people
- 14:38Speaker 2: are playing them five percent, but no one's committing to them.
- 14:42Speaker 2: So you have to kind of think of this. You
- 14:44Speaker 2: had a great call last week on Ricky Fowler ends
- 14:47Speaker 2: up being six percent. Are they talking about him enough?
- 14:49Speaker 2: But are they clicking him? No? How tong Lee, everyone
- 14:52Speaker 2: liked him the week before this week came back at
- 14:54Speaker 2: two point six percent. So even like the other guys
- 14:58Speaker 2: are kind of conditional, got like seven eight per on,
- 15:00Speaker 2: like the mcgreevy's, the McCarty's, the Cooties, they're seven to
- 15:04Speaker 2: nine percent. They're not eighteen or twenty. And I know
- 15:07Speaker 2: you say, okay, but you need a Gerard at nineteen, right.
- 15:09Speaker 2: That happened, but you can play I went with that
- 15:12Speaker 2: in single entry, in the in the large, in anything
- 15:15Speaker 2: for that's this matter but just of note for the
- 15:16Speaker 2: evergreen side. If if it was Scotty and Girard and
- 15:20Speaker 2: then four guys under ten percent, you're still just fine.
- 15:23Speaker 2: I was just committing to something because that's how I
- 15:24Speaker 2: wanted to play it. Where even a five a six,
- 15:27Speaker 2: And the big thing for me, alex to finalize this
- 15:28Speaker 2: because you won't get this very often, but it just
- 15:30Speaker 2: to finalize last week, in my opinion, is the three
- 15:33Speaker 2: course guaranteed the fifty four hole cut. That's what I
- 15:37Speaker 2: kept saying about heverage, heavy leverage. Was my four to
- 15:40Speaker 2: six was right in the mix. If it was a
- 15:42Speaker 2: five or six, I cash easily, no problems whatsoever. Really,
- 15:45Speaker 2: I mean, I could add the same bad day from
- 15:47Speaker 2: the one golfer and again butterfly effect. I get all that.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I'm just noting it. Of why that mattered to me
- 15:53Speaker 2: because everyone assumes like, well, you gotta have six to
- 15:55Speaker 2: six to do anything, especially it's gonna be higher, not
- 15:58Speaker 2: necessarily the way the board shook out, and a five
- 16:00Speaker 2: of six with big leverage if you have three if
- 16:03Speaker 2: you have four guys in my lineup in the five
- 16:04Speaker 2: to six example, and Scott, he's th trou and gonna win
- 16:06Speaker 2: if I have just four guys and not five, but
- 16:09Speaker 2: they're all three to five percent or whatever they end
- 16:11Speaker 2: up landing on. If two of those guys have a
- 16:13Speaker 2: big day, that can be massive separation because nobody else
- 16:17Speaker 2: really has them. And so that's the difference that people
- 16:19Speaker 2: don't quite always see it or think about it. So
- 16:21Speaker 2: it's kind of like a way. It's kind of like
- 16:23Speaker 2: late swap in NFL in a different way. Right, you're down,
- 16:26Speaker 2: I'm not gonna win. I have a five or six.
- 16:27Speaker 2: I'm probably not going to win, but I'm gonnam I
- 16:30Speaker 2: do this before the tournament starts, but I am swinging
- 16:33Speaker 2: for the fences with the low owned plays to allow
- 16:35Speaker 2: me in an uncontrollable position to still be able to
- 16:38Speaker 2: get my best result. In NFL, you're probably not winning
- 16:42Speaker 2: if you're sixty percent on running back bus in the morning,
- 16:45Speaker 2: but you're not winning if you stay put you go
- 16:47Speaker 2: and then reach for separation because you're allowed to late swap.
- 16:50Speaker 2: In PJA, you can't do that, but you can build
- 16:53Speaker 2: it in in advance if you will. I don't if
- 16:55Speaker 2: you have anything else to add to that, but it's
- 16:56Speaker 2: kind of my final two cents for last week.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it really good point about last week
- 17:01Speaker 3: is that the six per six percentage was low, and
- 17:04Speaker 3: that's sort of, you know, something that I pay a
- 17:07Speaker 3: lot of attention to, and I would I can very
- 17:10Speaker 3: confidently say that over the past two years, you know,
- 17:12Speaker 3: I've had a decent amount of success in pgdfs, and
- 17:15Speaker 3: almost all of my takedowns are all my sweats have
- 17:18Speaker 3: come in a week swere the six for six percentage
- 17:21Speaker 3: was really low. And and so if there's a twenty
- 17:25Speaker 3: percent six for six rate, chances are I'm not in contention.
- 17:28Speaker 3: But when there's a three percent six for six rate
- 17:30Speaker 3: or four percent six for six rate, I'm going to
- 17:32Speaker 3: be in contention. And uh, you know quite a bit.
- 17:34Speaker 3: And and and that has been a strategy that works
- 17:37Speaker 3: really well for me, and I think it's it's a
- 17:40Speaker 3: good segue into this week because we do have a
- 17:43Speaker 3: week where I think there are a lot of good
- 17:46Speaker 3: opportunities to be controlling here. We don't have to eat
- 17:48Speaker 3: a lot of chalk. There are high probability low owned plays.
- 17:52Speaker 3: So very excited for this week, and hopefully a lot
- 17:55Speaker 3: of the chalk fails and we get a really low
- 17:57Speaker 3: six or six percentage here at Tory punts.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Yeah, the last you said finalizes everything. Because we did
- 18:02Speaker 2: this for football. That's why we continue this series and
- 18:04Speaker 2: we want to keep doing it, and I think people
- 18:06Speaker 2: love it because in football you said the same and
- 18:08Speaker 2: so did I say. Yes, Guess when our best weeks
- 18:10Speaker 2: are when there's lower scoring. Guess what The lower scoring
- 18:14Speaker 2: is caused by chalk busting. It's the same thing here.
- 18:16Speaker 2: So when people are like, oh, I gotta play this
- 18:18Speaker 2: chalk piece or I gotta play this chalk piece, I
- 18:20Speaker 2: prefer oftentimes to not play those chalk pieces or play
- 18:24Speaker 2: them in at least a very different way, because it's
- 18:26Speaker 2: actually better for me if they boss. And people think, oh, yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 2: but you only have like twenty percent of your lineup
- 18:31Speaker 2: six to six, Well that's great. When the six of
- 18:33Speaker 2: six is two percent, It's like, that's what I'm hoping for.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Like those are the weeks where you can have those
- 18:37Speaker 2: big explosions and make up for all the weeks you're
- 18:39Speaker 2: gonna lose. Like you just people got to get that
- 18:41Speaker 2: through their head. If you're winning every week somehow or
- 18:44Speaker 2: min cashing it or whatever, you're probably not playing good. Right.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Congrats on the mint cashes, but you may never find
- 18:49Speaker 2: the promised land, so certainly think that's something as well.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Where do you want to start here? Because last time
- 18:53Speaker 2: I know well the one and done section, the betting
- 18:55Speaker 2: segment are lane at the end. I do not have
- 18:58Speaker 2: a lane as of right now because I want to
- 19:00Speaker 2: sort of talk a few things with you here. I
- 19:01Speaker 2: have some thoughts. But it's a fun event. Like I said,
- 19:05Speaker 2: this field is strong. I love this course. I love
- 19:07Speaker 2: the setup. I think it's good. It's the two day
- 19:10Speaker 2: course swap and then the rest over the weekend on
- 19:12Speaker 2: the south. But the setup of that is still for
- 19:14Speaker 2: a regular cut event with a very strong field. So
- 19:17Speaker 2: do you have anything on the weather? First? Maybe start there,
- 19:19Speaker 2: and then anything on the course rotation in general, being
- 19:22Speaker 2: that it's different than last week. It's north south south north.
- 19:25Speaker 2: After that we're all well in one place before cut.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Anything you want to add to that?
- 19:29Speaker 3: Like last week, very little weather, maybe even less because
- 19:33Speaker 3: you know, last week we were talking about the possibility
- 19:35Speaker 3: that we were going to get heavier wins on Saturday.
- 19:37Speaker 3: We're gonna have really calm days throughout this week. So
- 19:40Speaker 3: nothing on the course rotation for me, but I will
- 19:42Speaker 3: say this course fit model this week is one of
- 19:45Speaker 3: the most reliable off season, it's one of the most predictive.
- 19:49Speaker 3: It's also one of the most extreme. We have a
- 19:51Speaker 3: ninety four percent boost on the predictive value of driving
- 19:55Speaker 3: distance this week. So you take any skill like tuck,
- 19:59Speaker 3: take two guys and say they're half a stroke different
- 20:01Speaker 3: in their stroke skin driving distance, well, this week on
- 20:05Speaker 3: this golf course. For these golf courses, that half a
- 20:08Speaker 3: stroke difference translates into almost a full stroke difference, because
- 20:11Speaker 3: we're almost at a one hundred percent boost on the
- 20:13Speaker 3: predictive value of driving distance, negative twenty percent on driving accuracy,
- 20:17Speaker 3: about even neutral with approach play, and then a sixty
- 20:21Speaker 3: percent boost on around the green and almost a ten
- 20:23Speaker 3: percent boost on putting. So really really kind of clear
- 20:27Speaker 3: of what type of player succeeds here. You want distance,
- 20:30Speaker 3: you want scoring around the greens, and then honestly like
- 20:33Speaker 3: you also just want a complete player. Every single one
- 20:36Speaker 3: of these skill sets is quite predictive here. Even if
- 20:40Speaker 3: it's negative twenty percent, like accuracy, this still means you
- 20:42Speaker 3: have to be accurate. And if you compare that accuracy
- 20:45Speaker 3: with distance, now you're really in the driver's seat. So
- 20:48Speaker 3: I absolutely love this golf course. Because of From one hand,
- 20:53Speaker 3: just as a golf right, I just love the design
- 20:55Speaker 3: and the difficulty of the course, but I also love
- 20:57Speaker 3: it from a DFS perspective because it's one of the
- 20:59Speaker 3: most predictive and it also points us to some like
- 21:02Speaker 3: really clear course for it specialists who are going to
- 21:04Speaker 3: project a lot better here than they want on most
- 21:06Speaker 3: golf courses.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Yeah, you said they're not gonna bring it up this week.
- 21:10Speaker 2: I think in the spirit of time, we had a
- 21:11Speaker 2: good little recap from last week. I think was strong
- 21:13Speaker 2: because that's gonna matter for people moving forward. And then
- 21:15Speaker 2: somebody asked us too about like doing a review show.
- 21:17Speaker 2: That's what I said at the start of the season,
- 21:19Speaker 2: Like I think the review we do on this and
- 21:21Speaker 2: then how to apply it moving forward, and the ability
- 21:23Speaker 2: to go back and rewatch and do these different factors,
- 21:25Speaker 2: and then taking everything we're talking about for this week
- 21:27Speaker 2: and applying it right directly to the slate. To your point,
- 21:30Speaker 2: there's just gonna be so much more you pick up
- 21:32Speaker 2: from that, and the benefit is you can actually go
- 21:33Speaker 2: apply it immediately versus a review shows like what happened
- 21:36Speaker 2: in the past, and if we're reviewing the master is great,
- 21:39Speaker 2: well the Master's going to be in a year, so
- 21:41Speaker 2: then we'll see you don't get to any apply any
- 21:43Speaker 2: of that necessarily until the following year. So I like
- 21:45Speaker 2: how we're doing it this way. Where do you want
- 21:47Speaker 2: to start with the chalk build for this week? I
- 21:49Speaker 2: know you just talked about a lot of the factors
- 21:51Speaker 2: that you think are important and why that can be
- 21:53Speaker 2: you know, historically beneficial all these factors you mentioned, but
- 21:57Speaker 2: what sort of thought process do you have around the
- 21:59Speaker 2: ownership this week week and what's formulating as the chalk build.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to get your take on what you
- 22:04Speaker 3: expect the field to do with Xander, because I'm seeing
- 22:07Speaker 3: signs that the field is going to be very heavy
- 22:09Speaker 3: on Xander, and I think there are two reasons for this.
- 22:12Speaker 3: Number One, he's very clearly the best option between himself,
- 22:16Speaker 3: can't laying over just in terms of like how well
- 22:18Speaker 3: he projects. If they have their A games, who's the
- 22:21Speaker 3: best of the three? Xander wins pretty clearly, and they're
- 22:24Speaker 3: significantly more bunched in price than we often see from
- 22:28Speaker 3: the best player in the field ten to one to ten,
- 22:31Speaker 3: four to ten five with Showfley, So I'm seeing signs
- 22:35Speaker 3: of him being super popular. But I went into the
- 22:39Speaker 3: week thinking there was a chance that we were going
- 22:41Speaker 3: to see higher ownership on you know, Camyonger, Sebu Kim
- 22:45Speaker 3: or JJ Spawn or Chris Goddarup, and those guys were
- 22:49Speaker 3: going to be the highest one at the top, not Xander. Instead,
- 22:52Speaker 3: I am seeing it Xander right now. So I kind
- 22:54Speaker 3: of wanted to get your opinion on that, because this,
- 22:56Speaker 3: to me feels like one that could flip if people say, okay,
- 22:59Speaker 3: I can and just build a more balance build and
- 23:02Speaker 3: get two guys that I think are almost as good
- 23:04Speaker 3: as Shafley, since Shaffley obviously didn't have anywhere close to
- 23:08Speaker 3: his best stuff all of last season.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Yeah, so two things. One, this week is very different
- 23:12Speaker 2: from last not say he didn't say that, just noting
- 23:14Speaker 2: it for people out there is like, the difference is
- 23:16Speaker 2: now you have a ten to five golfer and a
- 23:18Speaker 2: bunched up nine K ten K range is not like
- 23:20Speaker 2: a fourteen k plus golfer with Scotti last week at
- 23:22Speaker 2: whatever with fourteen four or fourteen whatever. Where you see that,
- 23:25Speaker 2: you're like, oh man or fourteen two it might have been,
- 23:27Speaker 2: I can't remember now, but anyway, it's that. And then
- 23:30Speaker 2: The other thing is too, it's the range of options.
- 23:34Speaker 2: And realistically, this week, I just don't see the six
- 23:37Speaker 2: K range popping up for people like it did last week.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Do I see pok Geider popping up? Yeah, for a
- 23:43Speaker 2: six K guy, Yeah, I see him getting a little
- 23:45Speaker 2: bit of love. Do I see some other guys down
- 23:47Speaker 2: there that might get some Maybe? But I think it
- 23:49Speaker 2: looks like, as of right now, possibly only pock Geiter
- 23:52Speaker 2: gets over five percent, and even he's gonna end up
- 23:54Speaker 2: five to ten percent, it's not as gonna be chalk.
- 23:56Speaker 2: He's just the chalk of the point one percent on
- 23:59Speaker 2: guys down there versus him. So that matters too, because
- 24:02Speaker 2: now people just say, all right, I can get different
- 24:04Speaker 2: in the sevens, like from is there one, two, three, four, five,
- 24:08Speaker 2: sixtenty nine to little three sixty nine twenty three guys
- 24:12Speaker 2: between like seventy two and seventy five hundred. That alone
- 24:15Speaker 2: just gives people the rights to be able to go
- 24:17Speaker 2: there still get different and play Xander. And that's the
- 24:20Speaker 2: thing at the top. It just usually goes by projections
- 24:23Speaker 2: and when people can afford the most expensive guy, it's
- 24:25Speaker 2: it's a handbuilder thing, it's an optimizer thing. In some
- 24:28Speaker 2: cases depending on the rules set up and all that,
- 24:30Speaker 2: where it's like, if I have the ability, someone will
- 24:33Speaker 2: literally land with ten to five where it lands on
- 24:35Speaker 2: Xander and be like perfect. But also somebody will land
- 24:38Speaker 2: and be like, oh I love can't lay and be
- 24:40Speaker 2: like ten to one and be like, eh, four hundred
- 24:42Speaker 2: bucks left, gotta spend it. Boom. That's why people are
- 24:45Speaker 2: broken and have you know, mortgage payments missed and cars
- 24:48Speaker 2: that they're financed out the asshole like it. Just if
- 24:50Speaker 2: you can spend it, you can spend it, and that's
- 24:52Speaker 2: what ends up happening. So I do think Xander gets
- 24:54Speaker 2: a little more love than we see. Now. I have
- 24:57Speaker 2: two more though quick thoughts. One is we put two
- 25:01Speaker 2: guys on the cover, so it's surrounding both of those.
- 25:04Speaker 2: If people are going the route of the Gerard thing
- 25:06Speaker 2: this week, I feel like it could be on Cameron Young.
- 25:10Speaker 2: So I do feel like the difference is like Xander
- 25:13Speaker 2: or Young. I think Oberg obviously dropped out of last
- 25:17Speaker 2: week with the illness. By the way, did he not
- 25:20Speaker 2: crush the South course here last year in round one
- 25:23Speaker 2: and then have an illness and then like play badly
- 25:25Speaker 2: and try and stick around. Is that what happened?
- 25:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it was the other way around.
- 25:29Speaker 3: I think he crushed the North.
- 25:32Speaker 2: The reason I say that because if anybody doesn't, I'm
- 25:34Speaker 2: sure they know by now and watching this should know.
- 25:35Speaker 2: But like the South course is harder than the North.
- 25:37Speaker 2: But I thought that was what was so crazy about it,
- 25:39Speaker 2: is like he crushed. He definitely crushed day one. I
- 25:42Speaker 2: know that. I just for some reason felt like it
- 25:43Speaker 2: was on the South. Were like, holy shit, he's really
- 25:45Speaker 2: gonna crush it this week. But wait, no, he's not.
- 25:48Speaker 2: He's gonna be sick. But anyway, either way, he dropped out.
- 25:51Speaker 3: I think he also started well on day two on
- 25:53Speaker 3: the South and then kind of got sick. Maybe maybe
- 25:57Speaker 3: you thought differently last year. I kind of thought that
- 25:59Speaker 3: whole was overblown that, you know, people were kind of
- 26:03Speaker 3: excusing his next like a month before play as him
- 26:06Speaker 3: just being sick from that time, and I kind of thought,
- 26:09Speaker 3: you know what, his game was inconsistent. He had a
- 26:11Speaker 3: very clear hole in his game around the green play
- 26:14Speaker 3: that was really holding him back. And I think we
- 26:16Speaker 3: kind of saw that throughout the whole season. So look,
- 26:18Speaker 3: maybe maybe I was wrong about that, and maybe his
- 26:21Speaker 3: his long term forecast or his uh all his projections
- 26:26Speaker 3: and numbers from last year are actually you know, deflated
- 26:29Speaker 3: by by that illness. But yeah, I kind of I'm
- 26:32Speaker 3: still the point where with Oberg I want to wait
- 26:34Speaker 3: and actually see you know, uh, the player that we
- 26:38Speaker 3: all know he can be before I start treating him
- 26:41Speaker 3: like that, which I think a lot of the field
- 26:42Speaker 3: is already doing.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Well. Now I'm tripping out, like what what happened here
- 26:46Speaker 2: last year? I got to go back and see that
- 26:48Speaker 2: something's not adding up farmer's insurance open mm hmm. For
- 26:54Speaker 2: last year it.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Was when pot Geater was was in contention, I believe, Yeah,
- 27:00Speaker 3: and remember we also had we also then had the
- 27:05Speaker 3: uh the Genesis played here as well.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Is that what it was? Maybe that's what it was.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I'm trying to see. So last year the winner was.
- 27:20Speaker 3: How come I was English?
- 27:22Speaker 2: Harris? Right? Yeah, That's why I was like something in
- 27:25Speaker 2: that up and I was like, okay, that's what I English? Yeah, English?
- 27:28Speaker 2: Stevens Novack, my boy Sung Jay, sorry about the injury
- 27:31Speaker 2: he's got right now, but probably saving me some cash
- 27:33Speaker 2: in the DFS streets. But yeah, So I was trying
- 27:35Speaker 2: to see that because I was like, what is going
- 27:36Speaker 2: on here with the the Ludwig stuff because last year
- 27:39Speaker 2: was two different events I think starred right, like the
- 27:43Speaker 2: back to back events. Did did Ludwig come back and win? Yeah?
- 27:47Speaker 3: He then won the Genesis which was also played here.
- 27:50Speaker 2: That's what it was. That sounds like that's what was
- 27:52Speaker 2: messing me up. So anyway, there's that. But going back
- 27:55Speaker 2: to my points now and can't lay just gets left
- 27:57Speaker 2: alone for thee hundred bucks lest I think people just
- 27:59Speaker 2: go to you, or go all the way up to
- 28:01Speaker 2: Xander or even drop into the nine case, which we'll
- 28:03Speaker 2: get too shortly. But the other thing I want to
- 28:05Speaker 2: bring up was the Brooks factor. I know people said like, oh,
- 28:08Speaker 2: Brooks is gonna get played because you know, people haven't
- 28:11Speaker 2: got to play him for so long. I just don't
- 28:13Speaker 2: believe any ownership number I see on him because the
- 28:15Speaker 2: people don't care. Nobody cares that all I didn't get
- 28:18Speaker 2: to play a live guy Brooks cap like, no one's
- 28:20Speaker 2: thinking anything about this. It's cool that he came back,
- 28:22Speaker 2: it's his first event back. All that's great. The way
- 28:25Speaker 2: the DFS works does not usually work around that. So
- 28:28Speaker 2: I'll be shocked if Brooks is like high, like mid
- 28:30Speaker 2: double digits or something that some people are projecting like
- 28:32Speaker 2: twelve to fifteen. I don't see that personally, but maybe
- 28:35Speaker 2: I could be wrong. I just think people are so
- 28:37Speaker 2: much more likely to even go to Hoguard below, Adam
- 28:41Speaker 2: Scott above, Jake Napp for sure, anybody there in my opinion.
- 28:46Speaker 2: So I don't know if you have any extra thoughts you
- 28:47Speaker 2: want to add, But that's just some of the other
- 28:49Speaker 2: thoughts I have beyond your Xander point.
- 28:51Speaker 3: No, I think you're right, and I think it kind
- 28:54Speaker 3: of leads into the next point about like what the
- 28:55Speaker 3: quote unquote Chaluk build is this week, which is it's
- 28:58Speaker 3: really hard to identify build because we have a more
- 29:02Speaker 3: spread out ownership this week. And it's not that we
- 29:05Speaker 3: have like very few chockey plays. We actually have a bunch,
- 29:07Speaker 3: but because there are so many popular plays, so many
- 29:10Speaker 3: guys that people like really are drawn to, it just
- 29:13Speaker 3: kind of keeping them all in check a little bit.
- 29:14Speaker 3: So like we we've got you know, Cam Yong Sewu,
- 29:18Speaker 3: spawn Headecki, got her up, McNeely, Pendrith, Gerard Knapp, Rasmus Stevens,
- 29:24Speaker 3: Thorpe Jornson, Hgo Nikolai and Pearson Coodie, like all fourteen
- 29:30Speaker 3: to twenty five percent something like that. So there are
- 29:34Speaker 3: just so many guys that people are gonna be drawn to.
- 29:35Speaker 3: And to your point, that means it's gonna be hard
- 29:38Speaker 3: for keep Goat to get much higher than the eight
- 29:40Speaker 3: percent that we haven't projected for. And another point there
- 29:43Speaker 3: is like, it's not like he's been playing well around
- 29:45Speaker 3: the world. He has two good starts in a row,
- 29:47Speaker 3: but prior to that it was kind of struggle City.
- 29:50Speaker 3: Outside of his good was it Open Championship or US Open,
- 29:53Speaker 3: US Open performance back at Oakland he was good, but
- 29:56Speaker 3: you know, even in the Open Championship he was then
- 29:58Speaker 3: cut from So I don't think people have enough reason
- 30:01Speaker 3: yet to play Brooks. On the other hand, if he
- 30:04Speaker 3: plays well this week, he will be popular next week
- 30:08Speaker 3: when he goes so of course that he's played so
- 30:10Speaker 3: well out of the past, and also and then has
- 30:12Speaker 3: the hype of oh he's back and he's playing well
- 30:15Speaker 3: type thing, so then he'll be really junking.
- 30:17Speaker 2: And don't forget this is leverage lane, but a huge
- 30:19Speaker 2: narrative street Next week is the last time when the
- 30:23Speaker 2: Seahawks and the Patriots were in the Super bowl, Brooks
- 30:25Speaker 2: Kepta won that way. It's management Phoenix opened. I think
- 30:28Speaker 2: it was like the I think it was him and
- 30:30Speaker 2: JT or someone like JT clipped a tree and then
- 30:32Speaker 2: Brooks ended up getting away with it or something like
- 30:34Speaker 2: that's odding up shaking. I think that was it. Maybe
- 30:36Speaker 2: I'm wrong again, but people don't have a bad memory.
- 30:38Speaker 2: But anyway, that was and I'm getting older so that
- 30:40Speaker 2: that adds up. But I think one thing you said there,
- 30:43Speaker 2: I definitely don't envy you any want a ship a
- 30:45Speaker 2: nation basically anybody that does ownership this week, because no
- 30:49Speaker 2: matter what we can kind of figure out about those
- 30:51Speaker 2: quick thoughts that we had, that doesn't make a nine
- 30:55Speaker 2: to ten, eleven, twelve thirteen for whatever your range is
- 30:58Speaker 2: on all these guys any easier to get correct because
- 31:01Speaker 2: when you go to certain ranges here just to finish
- 31:02Speaker 2: out your thoughts. But like I think day Spawn and
- 31:06Speaker 2: Decky and got her up, those would be like, oh,
- 31:08Speaker 2: that's the four the others get pushed down. But how
- 31:11Speaker 2: much did those guys go up and how much do
- 31:13Speaker 2: the others get pushed down? This week? Higgo could be
- 31:17Speaker 2: like HOI where people think he's gonna be played, but
- 31:21Speaker 2: then I think people just land on Thor or your
- 31:24Speaker 2: guy one of the other hole guards, Nikolai like he
- 31:26Speaker 2: looks good too, and he's starting to get a little
- 31:29Speaker 2: bit of steam right now, is from what I'm seeing
- 31:31Speaker 2: Pearson Coody, Patrick Rogers. Sounds weird but true, Like some
- 31:36Speaker 2: of these guys are where I see it going. And
- 31:38Speaker 2: then if you go down again, like I guess the
- 31:41Speaker 2: big thing for me then just to you know, because
- 31:42Speaker 2: we're gonna get to have a leverage of the chokbuild
- 31:43Speaker 2: in a minute. I don't know if do you have
- 31:45Speaker 2: anything you want to add more to the chalk field
- 31:47Speaker 2: to me to wrap up the Chock build. If I'm
- 31:48Speaker 2: saying my final piece on it, it is seventy two
- 31:51Speaker 2: hundred and up and it's gonna be multiple guys in
- 31:56Speaker 2: that mid sevens for sure, And then however you want
- 31:59Speaker 2: to wrap it up. You can say it's Xander a
- 32:01Speaker 2: nine k and land there, Xander a couple eight k's
- 32:04Speaker 2: and land there, or you could say it's fading the
- 32:06Speaker 2: ten k's and going three nine k's and going there.
- 32:09Speaker 2: But to me, that's what the chalk build is. It's
- 32:11Speaker 2: just not fully clear on exactly who it will be,
- 32:14Speaker 2: but there's pretty good idea. The problem is there's a
- 32:17Speaker 2: ton of like two v two's and three v three's
- 32:19Speaker 2: and all that. That's you know, I was definitely gonna
- 32:21Speaker 2: bring that up today. That's certainly a thing that happens
- 32:23Speaker 2: in these spots. You'll say, I know so and so
- 32:26Speaker 2: is gonna play this in the high stakes. You could
- 32:28Speaker 2: be correct, or you could be a three v three away,
- 32:30Speaker 2: and that doesn't necessarily fully matter until it does. But
- 32:33Speaker 2: I'm just noting. It just shows that the six k's
- 32:36Speaker 2: will be unowned, the low sevens will be pretty low owned.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Even our favorites, which I was gonna get to, but
- 32:42Speaker 2: I'll finish it now, Meisner McGreevy, not our favorite field
- 32:47Speaker 2: favorites and sweethearts if you will, or whatever. They just
- 32:51Speaker 2: can't get the ownership right now. As it stands like
- 32:53Speaker 2: they can get to five six or something, but I
- 32:55Speaker 2: don't know if they can get much higher than that
- 32:57Speaker 2: at least.
- 32:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that, And I also say, you know,
- 33:02Speaker 3: I should have mentioned Patrick Rodgers and that kind of
- 33:04Speaker 3: list of guys who will be choking two. But worth
- 33:07Speaker 3: noting every single price range is covered this week, right,
- 33:10Speaker 3: We've got Rogers at seventy two, Coodie at seventy four,
- 33:14Speaker 3: Boyguard at seventy five. There isn't a break in price
- 33:18Speaker 3: range where they're going to be choky guys like we
- 33:21Speaker 3: had last week, whereas but everyone from seventy eight to
- 33:24Speaker 3: ninety two was going to be pretty low ow and
- 33:27Speaker 3: that certainly played out. So it's a lot harder to
- 33:31Speaker 3: find a contrarian construction this week. You actually have to
- 33:34Speaker 3: get contrarian by playing contrarian players.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Elaborate on that, because I think that's one of the
- 33:40Speaker 2: things people. So let me ask you this way and
- 33:42Speaker 2: then I'll let you. I want you to elaborate on that,
- 33:43Speaker 2: but I also wanted to ask this, so it kind
- 33:44Speaker 2: of puts two together. Is like, is this a week
- 33:48Speaker 2: when the ownership can be bunched? Like it is that
- 33:50Speaker 2: it can just be some formulation of saying, Okay, I'm
- 33:54Speaker 2: committed to these three to four guys that I like
- 33:56Speaker 2: because I'm gonna you're It's not really like chalk. Something
- 33:58Speaker 2: is eventually chalk. But it's like, this is where it
- 34:00Speaker 2: gets confusing for people because like, oh, he's eighteen percent,
- 34:03Speaker 2: he's chok? Well is he? Or is it what's around him,
- 34:06Speaker 2: and you know, certain spots like the Girard one last
- 34:08Speaker 2: week can also work out. So I think that's all
- 34:10Speaker 2: what runs through people's mind. All to say, if you
- 34:12Speaker 2: really like three guys at fifteen to twenty percent, you
- 34:16Speaker 2: can play them. It's just do you play six guys
- 34:18Speaker 2: at fifteen to twenty percent or do you look for
- 34:21Speaker 2: some of those lower owned guys below. So I'll let
- 34:23Speaker 2: you elaborate on your point and then maybe just take
- 34:24Speaker 2: it a step further with just roster construction thoughts before
- 34:27Speaker 2: we get to how to leverage the chalk build with
- 34:29Speaker 2: those exact examples.
- 34:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you looked at if you looked
- 34:33Speaker 3: at ownership last week, you saw like a bunch of chalk,
- 34:36Speaker 3: was a bunch between let's say like ninety one and
- 34:41Speaker 3: ten to one or whatever it was. Right, there were
- 34:43Speaker 3: there were four or five guys Henley Ben Griffin, guys
- 34:46Speaker 3: like that who are very clearly going to be very
- 34:48Speaker 3: chalky and were very clearly the start of one type
- 34:51Speaker 3: of lineup. And then you had obviously Scotty up top.
- 34:54Speaker 3: And then as we mentioned, there was like a big
- 34:56Speaker 3: break in ownership between all of the all the eight
- 35:01Speaker 3: thousands maybe like N ninety one hundred whatever and then
- 35:05Speaker 3: seventy eight seventy nine hundred. So we knew we were
- 35:09Speaker 3: going to see a bunch of lineups that were Scottie
- 35:11Speaker 3: and then sixes and sevens. We knew we were going
- 35:13Speaker 3: to see a bunch of lineups that were two or
- 35:14Speaker 3: three nine K guys and then six and sevens. And
- 35:18Speaker 3: you could just say, Okay, I don't even need to
- 35:21Speaker 3: worry about like finding pivots off the chalk. I can
- 35:24Speaker 3: just go to a different style of lineup. I can
- 35:27Speaker 3: just go play my favorite eight K players. I don't
- 35:30Speaker 3: have to worry about their ownership. I can just go
- 35:32Speaker 3: play my favorites, knowing I'm in a contrariy enough construction
- 35:37Speaker 3: that I don't have to worry about, you know, differentiating
- 35:40Speaker 3: and finding my separators that way, because I'm already so
- 35:42Speaker 3: unique just in the construction my lineup this week. There
- 35:45Speaker 3: isn't a way you can do that. Every single price range,
- 35:48Speaker 3: every single construction is going to have chalky options with
- 35:52Speaker 3: basically every single roster spot. So to get contrarian, you
- 35:56Speaker 3: actually have to think about, Okay, who are the pivots
- 35:59Speaker 3: that are really like, who are the loan guys I like,
- 36:01Speaker 3: and not just I can go take my favorite player
- 36:03Speaker 3: from this range. Every single range is chopped that you
- 36:06Speaker 3: have to worry about and find pivots from.
- 36:08Speaker 2: And that's where I get that's exactly it. I think
- 36:10Speaker 2: that's people. So if you if someone really likes can't
- 36:12Speaker 2: Ley and wants to start there, but then they classify
- 36:15Speaker 2: can't Lay as a fifteen percent on guy, It's like, yeah,
- 36:17Speaker 2: but there's twenty to twenty five percent on guys around him.
- 36:21Speaker 2: He's already a unique starting point. So just that alone
- 36:24Speaker 2: already gives you some leeway to break it down from there.
- 36:27Speaker 2: So I think that's really important to remember if you're
- 36:29Speaker 2: already in on three nine K guys and you're like, ah,
- 36:32Speaker 2: it sucks. I just watched Leverage Lane and they told
- 36:34Speaker 2: me people are actually gonna start with day Decky and
- 36:38Speaker 2: got her up. We'll sit back and think for a second.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Your three guys are see wu Keegan Bradley and Harris English.
- 36:44Speaker 2: You're playing it completely different. So it's like you could
- 36:46Speaker 2: actually go there and then get away with a lot
- 36:48Speaker 2: because now you're not using a ten K guy, not
- 36:51Speaker 2: using say three two to three of the highest owned
- 36:53Speaker 2: nine k guys, it doesn't mean you necessarily need to
- 36:56Speaker 2: go completely off the board when you get to the
- 36:57Speaker 2: sevens because you're already starting a different way and with
- 37:01Speaker 2: different options. Again, not who you play, how you play them.
- 37:04Speaker 2: That's where the thought process comes together. So if you're
- 37:07Speaker 2: not just using an optimizer building, trusting the projections, ownership
- 37:11Speaker 2: and the rules, et cetera that you're getting, then it
- 37:13Speaker 2: really does come down to like, if you know what
- 37:15Speaker 2: you like, especially for what we're talking about here with
- 37:17Speaker 2: like single entry typically handbuilding it out. Don't think you
- 37:20Speaker 2: have to go completely off the board just because I
- 37:22Speaker 2: think what a lot of people do is they go, oh,
- 37:24Speaker 2: Heydecki's popular. I'll go to Keegan, oh mav mcneely's popular.
- 37:28Speaker 2: I'll go to I don't know, uh, Alex Norin, Oh,
- 37:31Speaker 2: I go down the board again, Rasmus is popular. Let
- 37:33Speaker 2: me put in Penge or Rye who's right there. You know,
- 37:36Speaker 2: they just keep going to the one off pivot in
- 37:39Speaker 2: every single spot. When you can definitely get different by
- 37:42Speaker 2: construction like you said, or also with some of the
- 37:45Speaker 2: plays within the construction that already allow you to then
- 37:48Speaker 2: you can just tidy it up at the bottom because
- 37:49Speaker 2: you're already so different at the top or vice versa
- 37:51Speaker 2: of at the bottom versus the top. So that's just
- 37:54Speaker 2: another thing I'd want to look at. So moving on,
- 37:57Speaker 2: how do you want to look to leverage the chalk
- 37:59Speaker 2: build this week? What's your your thought process from everything
- 38:02Speaker 2: you just said, you can tie it back to that,
- 38:04Speaker 2: but what's sort of your starting point or your first
- 38:06Speaker 2: guiding principle.
- 38:08Speaker 3: It's literally just looking for guys who I think are
- 38:10Speaker 3: under owned. So at the top, like we mentioned the
- 38:14Speaker 3: fact that I think Cam Young could end up steaming
- 38:16Speaker 3: like crazy, so very tentatively saying I think he's under
- 38:20Speaker 3: own because as of right now I've got him like
- 38:22Speaker 3: in the same range as Oberg and Kentland. I think
- 38:25Speaker 3: Kim is clearly the better play of the three day
- 38:28Speaker 3: is going to be under own. Keegan Harris, English are
- 38:30Speaker 3: going to be under owned. I'm still hesitant on Zala Taurus,
- 38:34Speaker 3: but I very much understand anyone who wants to take
- 38:37Speaker 3: a stab at him. We saw some signs last week,
- 38:40Speaker 3: and when he's right, he's a very good fit for
- 38:44Speaker 3: this course because he can just ball strike it to death.
- 38:47Speaker 3: And then Wyndham Norrin Homa McCarty justin Rose, like, there
- 38:52Speaker 3: are just so many guys here this week that I
- 38:54Speaker 3: think fit the golf course well. They played difficult courses
- 38:58Speaker 3: well and and are very clearly going to be pretty
- 39:03Speaker 3: lowan because of how many popular guys are around them.
- 39:05Speaker 3: So it's just a week where I'm probably gonna have
- 39:08Speaker 3: six contrarian guys in my lineup and feel pretty good
- 39:10Speaker 3: about that because I don't think I'm losing much in
- 39:13Speaker 3: terms of like probability of success from my guys going
- 39:16Speaker 3: to these contrarian options, and obviously the chance for separation
- 39:19Speaker 3: just skyrockets when you are getting that type of play
- 39:23Speaker 3: at eight percent instead of eighteen percent. So definitely gonna
- 39:27Speaker 3: be a very contrarian line up for me this week.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Okay, I got my lane. I'm gonna save it for later,
- 39:31Speaker 2: so that's good. But I definitely I could go into
- 39:34Speaker 2: a whole rant on it right now, but I'm actually
- 39:35Speaker 2: gonna save it for the end because it's gonna be
- 39:37Speaker 2: my lane. And you kind of said some things there
- 39:39Speaker 2: and it's all gonna tie together. But one thing that
- 39:42Speaker 2: somebody brought up is like, just played two six K guys.
- 39:45Speaker 2: This is important to remember. It doesn't mean we'll be
- 39:47Speaker 2: right on this and look, there is I don't know
- 39:50Speaker 2: what they do such a poor job of this, by
- 39:51Speaker 2: the way, when it's like the weeks like this where
- 39:53Speaker 2: they just jamm like ninety guys in the six k's
- 39:56Speaker 2: last week was totally different. We said, like there was
- 39:58Speaker 2: tons of six K options. The challenge to it, is
- 39:59Speaker 2: I brought up earlier, is if you get Scottie Wright,
- 40:02Speaker 2: it's like, did you get There's because there was the
- 40:04Speaker 2: fifty plus options from six five to seventy five hundred,
- 40:07Speaker 2: let's just use that range. You're not always going to
- 40:10Speaker 2: land on them, even if you are being contrary and
- 40:12Speaker 2: so on and so forth. But one thing I'll note
- 40:14Speaker 2: here is if the six K range is being ignored,
- 40:18Speaker 2: but it's being ignored because it's pretty bad or not
- 40:21Speaker 2: even close to required, that while you'll be naturally contrarian,
- 40:25Speaker 2: by playing two six K guys, you are almost bucketing
- 40:29Speaker 2: yourself into what I just talked about, which can be
- 40:31Speaker 2: bad because now you're saying like, well you will be unique, Well,
- 40:34Speaker 2: you will have the potential. If there's you know, unless
- 40:38Speaker 2: there's like two guys you have super high conviction on,
- 40:40Speaker 2: then sure you'll already be different enough now you've kind
- 40:42Speaker 2: of round it out. However, you want to be honest
- 40:44Speaker 2: from there, but it's saying if the reason the six
- 40:47Speaker 2: K is being ignored is because it's not needed and
- 40:48Speaker 2: also is pretty bad, it's probably pretty bad as like
- 40:52Speaker 2: that part matters more to me. So it's like, do
- 40:54Speaker 2: I really need to go there? Or if it's only
- 40:56Speaker 2: really one guy we talked about earlier with pot Geiter, Okay,
- 40:59Speaker 2: there's gonna be some good pot Getter lineups that you
- 41:01Speaker 2: can build, But if it's just pot Guid, I'm going
- 41:03Speaker 2: to I'm definitely not thinking about Xander because we talk
- 41:08Speaker 2: about all the time, the combination that you mentioned, how
- 41:10Speaker 2: many Pockeyer, how often do they get Xander with Pocketter
- 41:13Speaker 2: because the minute they go Poteider, they can fit Xander.
- 41:16Speaker 2: So it doesn't mean it can't work. If it gets
- 41:18Speaker 2: there at the end in the finish line, that's what
- 41:20Speaker 2: you need it. So you need it, but we're just
- 41:21Speaker 2: noting it. Those are the types of things you should
- 41:23Speaker 2: be thinking about more than is pot Geiter a good
- 41:26Speaker 2: play or is Xander a good play? For where they
- 41:29Speaker 2: are on the board, they both look like amazing plays
- 41:32Speaker 2: once you put them together. It also allows you to
- 41:34Speaker 2: only have four spots remaining, and you can back yourself
- 41:37Speaker 2: into a corner pretty quickly. You could also find ways
- 41:39Speaker 2: around it up the middle. I'm just saying that's a
- 41:41Speaker 2: note that I would make. So one thing for me
- 41:43Speaker 2: is I just think like the lower sevens and this
- 41:47Speaker 2: is not gonna be my lane. But the lower sevens
- 41:48Speaker 2: and upper sevens don't really have the ownership going to
- 41:52Speaker 2: them as much. Like you said, Okay, if it's good,
- 41:54Speaker 2: I know it is, by the way, it's it's early,
- 41:56Speaker 2: but you know it's gonna be Sam Stevens. He just
- 41:58Speaker 2: did a good job last week, so people just now
- 42:00Speaker 2: actually go why wouldn't they go to him? But like McCarty,
- 42:02Speaker 2: if he's one third the ownership, I literally don't care
- 42:05Speaker 2: about anything else. I don't care who played what when where,
- 42:07Speaker 2: don't all that. I would just look at it and say, okay,
- 42:09Speaker 2: I'd be interested. But there's other guys there too. I'm
- 42:11Speaker 2: just noting it. I think from seventy seven to seventy eight,
- 42:16Speaker 2: like that little range, and even seventy nine maybe Rasmus.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Like Rasmus would be a good example here because we'll
- 42:20Speaker 2: see how his number stays. But if everyone's gonna be
- 42:24Speaker 2: on if I think there's steam on Thor and Nikolai
- 42:27Speaker 2: Hoguard down below, and I think people are definitely playing
- 42:31Speaker 2: Sam Stevens, why not play Rasmus Hoguard, the brother who's
- 42:34Speaker 2: just as capable for three hundred bucks more and a
- 42:37Speaker 2: hundred dollars pivot point off Sam Stevens. Obviously you could
- 42:39Speaker 2: play a bunch of them together, but just little things
- 42:41Speaker 2: like that that I would look at. That to me
- 42:43Speaker 2: just make tons of sense. People are gonna talk about Rasmus.
- 42:46Speaker 2: I just don't know if they can click him as
- 42:48Speaker 2: much as they click Sam Stevens, Thor, Nikolai Coody, all
- 42:53Speaker 2: those guys down below. So that'd be my first thought
- 42:55Speaker 2: is upper sevens, lower sevens versus the middle.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Are you surprised that I am that it doesn't look
- 43:00Speaker 3: like McCarty's gonna get much love this week? Because played
- 43:03Speaker 3: well in the summer, played very well in the fall,
- 43:05Speaker 3: was awesome last week, especially with his irons. Why is
- 43:08Speaker 3: he not getting more lovey?
- 43:11Speaker 2: I think it's a product of the spot on the board.
- 43:13Speaker 2: Like we've talked about this a ton in the past,
- 43:15Speaker 2: but you know, from last week alone, should be fine.
- 43:18Speaker 2: But I think, like when you see the board again
- 43:19Speaker 2: and this could be one of those flips that we see,
- 43:21Speaker 2: we'll have to keep an eye on this stuff. So so
- 43:22Speaker 2: I don't envy anyone doing ownership this week, but from projections,
- 43:26Speaker 2: you're gonna see Rasmus Stevens, higgo thor Hoguard all that
- 43:32Speaker 2: stuff just beats him. So it's like, well, then how
- 43:35Speaker 2: can people land there at seventie and they've paid more
- 43:38Speaker 2: for it? They paid less for him last week, so
- 43:39Speaker 2: it's like, oh, he went up in price too. So
- 43:41Speaker 2: I don't know. For me, it's just the way it
- 43:43Speaker 2: looks right now. But it's hard to say exactly who's
- 43:46Speaker 2: gonna steam and moon walk in this range between all
- 43:48Speaker 2: of those guys I just mentioned.
- 43:50Speaker 3: Yeah, very much agree And yeah, so I think it's
- 43:56Speaker 3: it's says that this is a really fun week because
- 43:58Speaker 3: like we I think we just have full sns to
- 44:00Speaker 3: be super contrarian, because we're gonna get very good players
- 44:03Speaker 3: in good spots here at low ownership just because of
- 44:06Speaker 3: simply how many guys are. It's it's an awesome field
- 44:08Speaker 3: and it should just be a lot of fun this
- 44:12Speaker 3: week and hopefully hope, you know, we always say that,
- 44:15Speaker 3: and it's like there's still a chance that our line
- 44:18Speaker 3: up this poorly, and when our line up is poorly,
- 44:20Speaker 3: it's not as fun. But but what I mean is
- 44:21Speaker 3: it sets up as a week where I think we
- 44:25Speaker 3: can very confidently get a pretty strong edge this week
- 44:29Speaker 3: and the golf should be of pretty high quality, So
- 44:31Speaker 3: funnel around in that way.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's gonna be a good event no
- 44:34Speaker 2: matter what. Like that's that's the whole point, because you
- 44:36Speaker 2: have such a good field, you have the great course,
- 44:39Speaker 2: you know, courses to start and the course over the weekend,
- 44:41Speaker 2: like just it's always a really good event and this
- 44:43Speaker 2: one's loaded up, I will say, Like that's another thing
- 44:46Speaker 2: too though. So you you just brought up a point
- 44:48Speaker 2: there that I was gonna just elaborate on. Was the
- 44:52Speaker 2: when you don't know until you know, like you kind
- 44:54Speaker 2: of the point what we talked about with like, Okay,
- 44:56Speaker 2: is it gonna be McCarty actually staying low versus Sam Stevens.
- 45:00Speaker 2: It really does feel like that right now, and that's
- 45:02Speaker 2: why And obviously Sam, see there's a lot of overreaction
- 45:06Speaker 2: to the week before, and sometimes it's different courses, it's
- 45:08Speaker 2: different things trying to make this evergreen. Sometimes it's about
- 45:11Speaker 2: course history in the past. Sometimes it's about the weather
- 45:15Speaker 2: or whatever it might be. Like, sometimes there's an overreaction
- 45:18Speaker 2: to certain things. And I know, like you guys have
- 45:20Speaker 2: all your tools with our tool that we have the stone.
- 45:24Speaker 2: I'm just gonna bring this up for two seconds because
- 45:26Speaker 2: this is not on here now, but one of the
- 45:28Speaker 2: columns we add if anybody hasn't seen it this for
- 45:30Speaker 2: this week, it's just a rough draft. You're not getting
- 45:31Speaker 2: too much out of it, but you'll see it's the names,
- 45:33Speaker 2: the ownership, the projections. There a round one and round
- 45:36Speaker 2: two t time the wave that they're in. I think
- 45:40Speaker 2: I had the old version up. The updated version has
- 45:43Speaker 2: the course rotation right on there, so if you're looking
- 45:45Speaker 2: at that. But one of the things that we add
- 45:47Speaker 2: when we get out of the rough draft, Alex is
- 45:49Speaker 2: the like the optimal percentage. I know you guys want
- 45:52Speaker 2: to tell stuff like this as well. Over at FTN
- 45:54Speaker 2: for the sims and being able to see sort of
- 45:56Speaker 2: how things shape up, we add a column that is
- 45:59Speaker 2: like optimal and then you're looking at it versus the ownership,
- 46:03Speaker 2: and you end up seeing it in some cases where
- 46:04Speaker 2: like Sam Stevens might be twelve percent of the time
- 46:08Speaker 2: to be optimal, and then he's coming in at like
- 46:10Speaker 2: twenty percent ownership. Can that beat you? Still? Yes, it can.
- 46:13Speaker 2: I mean that obviously he can get there. It's golf.
- 46:15Speaker 2: But I think just some of that stuff, a lot
- 46:17Speaker 2: of the overreaction, especially earlier in the season that adds
- 46:20Speaker 2: to guys quote unquote like over owned if you will,
- 46:23Speaker 2: is because of just the recent form. Right, it's like,
- 46:26Speaker 2: what do they do last week? Got to be the
- 46:28Speaker 2: same this week? It's it's it's sometimes the same way
- 46:30Speaker 2: in football, you see and oh, well last week a
- 46:31Speaker 2: team passed all over this team. Well it's a different steam,
- 46:34Speaker 2: it's a different setup, it's a different thing, there's a
- 46:35Speaker 2: different slate. There's so many different factors that I don't
- 46:38Speaker 2: think people spend enough time looking at that. And that's
- 46:40Speaker 2: where the game can be sort of. That's where the
- 46:42Speaker 2: edge can be found. It doesn't mean you'll land on it,
- 46:44Speaker 2: but if you go in approaching it the way we do,
- 46:46Speaker 2: and we're talking about as a puzzle and finding our
- 46:49Speaker 2: angle in our lane, that's where I think it's just
- 46:51Speaker 2: you can get different naturally. In some cases, do you
- 46:53Speaker 2: have anything extra to add, just on sort of looking
- 46:55Speaker 2: at the contest sims and applying it here. I know
- 46:57Speaker 2: you do a ton of stuff with that in your
- 46:58Speaker 2: discord as well.
- 47:00Speaker 3: I'm gonna touch on on some similar stuff in my lane,
- 47:03Speaker 3: so I'll leave it there.
- 47:06Speaker 2: All right. Anything else you want to talk about when
- 47:08Speaker 2: it comes to the board, and just like some of
- 47:10Speaker 2: the pivot options and going through it, like do you
- 47:12Speaker 2: want to do the ranges quick or do you want
- 47:13Speaker 2: to go? Where do you want to go from here?
- 47:16Speaker 3: I think I'm pretty much ready to move to the
- 47:19Speaker 3: betting stuff if you are, there's I don't think there's
- 47:22Speaker 3: a ton to add. I think we've already touched on
- 47:24Speaker 3: a lot of guys. I know we're both gonna touch
- 47:26Speaker 3: on more in our lanes, and I think we've done
- 47:28Speaker 3: a pretty good job of kind of laying out what
- 47:30Speaker 3: the challenge of this late is and how to attack it.
- 47:34Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's good. I just don't know if you
- 47:36Speaker 2: had any other like pivot places when you want talk about,
- 47:39Speaker 2: because I can tell you right now my lane is
- 47:40Speaker 2: not going to be any golfer specifically. It's it's gonna
- 47:43Speaker 2: be a lane that I'm playing this week in single
- 47:46Speaker 2: entry do you do you have any anything else you
- 47:47Speaker 2: want to add for those guys. If not, I mean
- 47:48Speaker 2: it'll come up right now and we're gonna talk to
- 47:50Speaker 2: one and done and the betting breakdown. Anyway, maybe let's
- 47:53Speaker 2: start with the betting breakdown and go through that, and
- 47:56Speaker 2: if there's something that sort of gleams out of that,
- 47:57Speaker 2: I'll be able to just elaborate from there.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a couple more guys, but I'll be
- 48:02Speaker 3: able to incorporate them into my line. My line is
- 48:04Speaker 3: going to be very similar to yours in the sense
- 48:06Speaker 3: that it's it's going to be more of a concept
- 48:08Speaker 3: than specific players, but I'll mention some players there. So yeah,
- 48:12Speaker 3: ass the As far as the betting goes this week,
- 48:15Speaker 3: I will say I'm pretty disappointed in the underdog products
- 48:18Speaker 3: so far this season for PGA, where we're not seeing
- 48:21Speaker 3: anywhere near as many options as we've seen in previous seasons. Now,
- 48:25Speaker 3: last year we had a very similar start to the season.
- 48:28Speaker 3: It was like once NFL ended, even though there's there's
- 48:31Speaker 3: no NFL competition this week, once the NFL season ended,
- 48:33Speaker 3: we started to see some better options. We saw more
- 48:36Speaker 3: tournament finishing position options. We saw like front nine score
- 48:41Speaker 3: back nine score. We saw you know, score on the
- 48:45Speaker 3: thirteenth or fourteenth holes or the sixteenth hole, things of
- 48:47Speaker 3: that nature which were really really fun. And particularly when
- 48:51Speaker 3: you're watching like wind direction and things like that, you
- 48:53Speaker 3: can find some serious edges. As at this point we
- 48:55Speaker 3: don't have many. I don't want to course anything by saying, hey,
- 48:58Speaker 3: I like this for un draw this week when I
- 48:59Speaker 3: really don't. Chances are I'm not gonna have any underdog
- 49:02Speaker 3: plays at least going into this week. We'll see if
- 49:04Speaker 3: they add throughout the week, but it is I think
- 49:08Speaker 3: a very good week for outrights. I've got three. I
- 49:11Speaker 3: think my favorite one is probably man. I think it's
- 49:18Speaker 3: Justin Rose. Justin Rose at fifty five to one, sixty
- 49:21Speaker 3: to one, somewhere in that range within each way. And
- 49:24Speaker 3: you guys are gonna hear me talk about this kind
- 49:26Speaker 3: of all season. I mentioned in a bunch last week.
- 49:28Speaker 3: But personally, I think that when we think about what
- 49:34Speaker 3: makes a guy a good outright bet, there are obviously
- 49:37Speaker 3: two factors at hand. There's how good is this player?
- 49:39Speaker 3: How well does he project this week? But then there's
- 49:41Speaker 3: also how volatile is this player when he plays his
- 49:45Speaker 3: you know, ninetieth percentile game is ninety fifth percentile game.
- 49:49Speaker 3: Does he how would it takes to actually win that
- 49:51Speaker 3: event or does he need the ninety ninth percentile outcome?
- 49:55Speaker 3: And one of the ways that we measure that is
- 49:56Speaker 3: at FtM we do a lot of predictive analysis addicting
- 50:00Speaker 3: players event to event standard deviation, and Rose at one
- 50:04Speaker 3: point four to two strokes game per round is actually
- 50:07Speaker 3: the highest in this field. When he's got it, he's
- 50:10Speaker 3: got it, his ball striking is there, he's driving it well,
- 50:13Speaker 3: and then he can really take advantage of the fact
- 50:15Speaker 3: that when he's on he's one of, if not the
- 50:16Speaker 3: best putters in the world. He's not as consistent as
- 50:19Speaker 3: some of the other best putters in the world, like
- 50:20Speaker 3: Danny McCarthy or Sam Burns, but when he's making putts, man,
- 50:23Speaker 3: he makes them from everywhere. And when you pair that
- 50:26Speaker 3: with him actually driving the ball well, which he did
- 50:28Speaker 3: quite a bit towards the end of last season, it
- 50:30Speaker 3: can really be explosive. We saw him go nine under
- 50:33Speaker 3: in the second round this past week, so we know
- 50:36Speaker 3: when he's capable of when he's playing really well, and
- 50:39Speaker 3: we've done him at two point eight percent to win
- 50:41Speaker 3: largely because of how volatilely is. He's you know, projection wise,
- 50:44Speaker 3: he's ride in line with a guy like Sam Stevens
- 50:46Speaker 3: that we have literally at one point four percent, so
- 50:48Speaker 3: only half as likely to win as justin Rose, even
- 50:51Speaker 3: though they are projected for pretty much the same median outcome.
- 50:55Speaker 3: It shows just how powerful these volatility estimates are. And
- 50:59Speaker 3: that's why I think at fifty five or sixty or one, whatever,
- 51:02Speaker 3: the best numbers that you can get on him, now,
- 51:04Speaker 3: he's a really good value for that outright, at two
- 51:06Speaker 3: point eight percent to win, I.
- 51:08Speaker 2: Like, get yeah, And I think we can tie that
- 51:10Speaker 2: into sort of the one and done segment too, Like,
- 51:12Speaker 2: I mean, you did a really job last week of
- 51:15Speaker 2: talking about it from a perspective, so we'll go back
- 51:17Speaker 2: to it. But like the Fowlers the Sea wu Kims,
- 51:20Speaker 2: it's not even about just the result. It was more
- 51:22Speaker 2: to me the concepts and the game theory and the
- 51:25Speaker 2: thought process going in on why those guys versus you know,
- 51:29Speaker 2: some of the others, Like I mean, someone got Scotty
- 51:31Speaker 2: Schefferer last week. Congrats to you, probably not a worse way.
- 51:34Speaker 2: I mean, everyone will will hate on this. What do
- 51:36Speaker 2: you mean you gotta win like he's Scotty Chef. He's
- 51:39Speaker 2: by the way, and if there wasn't any doubt in
- 51:42Speaker 2: the room around this offf nothing to do with the
- 51:43Speaker 2: DFS side of it, but like, if Scotty's doing that there,
- 51:47Speaker 2: his full advantage is on a four day tournament where
- 51:51Speaker 2: it's like the field just can't do that kind of stuff.
- 51:54Speaker 2: If he's winning by four and five stro like what
- 51:57Speaker 2: do you make a bogie or a double near the
- 51:58Speaker 2: end or something like that that he could have been
- 52:00Speaker 2: It could have been even better if he's sort of
- 52:02Speaker 2: embarrassing that type of field where everybody can go low
- 52:04Speaker 2: and they were sort of keeping pace for a little
- 52:06Speaker 2: while and do that there, then it's it's pretty crazy
- 52:09Speaker 2: what he should be able to do. As it carries
- 52:11Speaker 2: on and nothing has really affected this guy, Like realistically,
- 52:15Speaker 2: if you look, his mental game has only got stronger
- 52:17Speaker 2: and better. If you remember back in the day of
- 52:18Speaker 2: you know, the stuff with the Ted Scott even saying
- 52:20Speaker 2: I don't even want to be on his bag if
- 52:21Speaker 2: he's gonna be like that, he was definitely more of
- 52:23Speaker 2: a maniac for for Scott. He for Scotty. People that
- 52:26Speaker 2: don't follow it heavily and probably what Scott, he's the
- 52:28Speaker 2: nicest guy, like, goes to church all that he was
- 52:30Speaker 2: a bit more of a hothead back then. There was
- 52:32Speaker 2: even conversations around him and his caddy and stuff that way,
- 52:34Speaker 2: just on the side note. And then he's got you know,
- 52:37Speaker 2: his wife. His life is balanced the kid now like
- 52:40Speaker 2: every like he's everything has happened, that's gonna it can
- 52:42Speaker 2: kind of happen. He canna have another kid and probably will,
- 52:44Speaker 2: but it doesn't doesn't seem to phase him in any
- 52:46Speaker 2: way shape or for him. He's not gonna put on
- 52:48Speaker 2: thirty pounds or lose thirty pounds and affect his swing.
- 52:51Speaker 2: Like everything is completely dialed for Scotty. And that's one
- 52:55Speaker 2: of the big things that I think just people need
- 52:56Speaker 2: to remember. So from a one and done perspective, you
- 52:58Speaker 2: can probably apply a lot of the same thoughts. Would
- 53:00Speaker 2: you have different thoughts here that you'd be thinking of,
- 53:03Speaker 2: or anything else extra you could bring to ad No.
- 53:05Speaker 3: I saw someone say that at this rate, Ted Scott's
- 53:08Speaker 3: gonna be able to use the same all time moneyless
- 53:10Speaker 3: exemption that VJ. Singh used. So you see its actual
- 53:14Speaker 3: events that you made me laugh, But yeah, I agree.
- 53:18Speaker 3: I think an important point to recognize or look back
- 53:22Speaker 3: on this past week. There wasn't a single guy that
- 53:26Speaker 3: you could have used in the one and done that
- 53:28Speaker 3: you are going to want to use at some other
- 53:30Speaker 3: point this year that you would feel glad that you
- 53:33Speaker 3: had just used because Scotty won. We know, we don't want.
- 53:37Speaker 3: We know, like, even if you had Scotty last week
- 53:40Speaker 3: wasn't good because he's almost certainly going to win or
- 53:42Speaker 3: at least make more than that in one of the
- 53:45Speaker 3: signature events or major championships moving forward. So you're better
- 53:49Speaker 3: off without Scotty. And a second place finish outside of
- 53:53Speaker 3: a signature event is like a fifth or a sixth
- 53:55Speaker 3: place finish in one of the signature events. So you
- 54:00Speaker 3: got to feel like you can find, you know, a
- 54:02Speaker 3: sixth or a fourth or third, let alone, to win
- 54:05Speaker 3: in the signature and from anyone else that you would
- 54:07Speaker 3: have wanted at some other point this season. So yeah,
- 54:11Speaker 3: it's it's really tough when it's set up like that,
- 54:13Speaker 3: but I think we kind of nailed the setup there
- 54:16Speaker 3: where the fact that Scotty was playing just made it
- 54:19Speaker 3: really really difficult to take anyone of any real value.
- 54:22Speaker 3: I think we can use some better players this week,
- 54:25Speaker 3: but there, man, there are also a lot of guys
- 54:27Speaker 3: in this field that like there's a very good chance
- 54:32Speaker 3: that they're going to either be one of your preferred
- 54:35Speaker 3: targets as as a loaned option in the signature event
- 54:38Speaker 3: later this season, or they're going to find themselves as
- 54:41Speaker 3: you know, one of the like three or five very
- 54:44Speaker 3: clearly best players in a weaker field that's not a
- 54:47Speaker 3: signature event like the you know, the three M Open
- 54:50Speaker 3: or at Detroit something like that, where you're just going
- 54:53Speaker 3: to wish that you had saved them. So it's another
- 54:55Speaker 3: tough week where like we're in the third week of
- 54:58Speaker 3: one and done, and I still kind of feel like
- 55:00Speaker 3: you don't want to burn anyone of great value now.
- 55:02Speaker 3: Pat has made the really good point like you only
- 55:05Speaker 3: get to use what is it, thirty one golfers this season,
- 55:07Speaker 3: so like you don't need to ever use the fiftieth
- 55:09Speaker 3: best guy or the fortieth best guy. But it's also
- 55:14Speaker 3: still worth noting, like, you know, I don't don't I
- 55:17Speaker 3: don't want to use somebody that I'm really going to
- 55:21Speaker 3: regret to have used two months from now. So I
- 55:24Speaker 3: do have some names kind of as as guys that
- 55:29Speaker 3: I'm really interested in, and part of that is guys
- 55:31Speaker 3: who play really well on difficult courses, because when they
- 55:34Speaker 3: are the three or five best players in a field
- 55:36Speaker 3: later on the season, chances are they're playing an easier
- 55:38Speaker 3: golf course. So guys like Harris English, Alex Norrin, those
- 55:42Speaker 3: are the first that come to my mind.
- 55:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll add one just because right, wrong or indifferent,
- 55:47Speaker 2: it's just how I feel about it. But I might
- 55:50Speaker 2: try and just catch the Wills Alataurres train right now.
- 55:52Speaker 2: Like he's he's had a decent week last week. He's
- 55:55Speaker 2: got to get I think he needs the top ten
- 55:57Speaker 2: two again. I'm the one that always fights again this
- 55:59Speaker 2: that's not why I'm I'm just noting. The guy literally
- 56:01Speaker 2: feels like he could get injured again at any time.
- 56:04Speaker 2: Let's try and catch him on the up and up.
- 56:05Speaker 2: I'm not gonna wait around and save will Zalaturus. Like
- 56:08Speaker 2: he said, you only need X amount of golfers for
- 56:10Speaker 2: the season, depending on the pool that you're in, thirty
- 56:12Speaker 2: thirty seven, thirty four, whatever one you joined. It's like
- 56:14Speaker 2: you're not gonna need fifty golfers. So I think he'd
- 56:17Speaker 2: be someone interesting the chat was talking about like the
- 56:19Speaker 2: Mcneely's the Naps. It's probably like that might be more
- 56:23Speaker 2: of the Alex side of things, where it's like you said,
- 56:25Speaker 2: those guys could actually pop up, and I feel like
- 56:27Speaker 2: McNeely feels like he could definitely get a field where
- 56:29Speaker 2: he's like the third best golfer my odds or something
- 56:32Speaker 2: like that. And it's like, I don't know that I
- 56:33Speaker 2: would do that here, but you'll definitely get him lower
- 56:35Speaker 2: owned here because of that. If that's how you're feeling,
- 56:37Speaker 2: and I don't, you're not saving him in my opinion,
- 56:39Speaker 2: for like a signature event or something obviously, So to
- 56:42Speaker 2: me it's like, yeah, I get that side of it, Nap.
- 56:44Speaker 2: I guess what about going right back to got her
- 56:47Speaker 2: up after he already got the I mean, oh, he
- 56:49Speaker 2: can't win twice maybe, but people said that about got
- 56:53Speaker 2: her up. What wasn't it got her up when he
- 56:55Speaker 2: won the Scottish Open and then the next week came
- 56:56Speaker 2: third or something. It's like the or vice versa, one
- 56:59Speaker 2: of the two. It definitely could do something like that.
- 57:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's gonna be popular. I don't think
- 57:04Speaker 3: he's a good play And the reason is your ceiling
- 57:07Speaker 3: if you use him this week is that he does
- 57:09Speaker 3: as well as the guys who have already used him
- 57:11Speaker 3: in one. I think you want to use him when
- 57:14Speaker 3: there's a chance that he actually outperforms those guys who
- 57:17Speaker 3: are are now ahead of you who got him for
- 57:19Speaker 3: that win. So I will not be using water Up
- 57:22Speaker 3: this week. And part of that too, by the way,
- 57:25Speaker 3: is like there's a chance that he's already one of
- 57:28Speaker 3: the ten best players in the world now and that
- 57:30Speaker 3: we really really really are gonna want him for one
- 57:32Speaker 3: of the signature events or one of the majors, and
- 57:35Speaker 3: we're gonna really regret to have burned him on a
- 57:38Speaker 3: lesser perse event. So I feel pretty strongly about now
- 57:42Speaker 3: using god her up this week. But yeah, you know,
- 57:45Speaker 3: and so like the I love this al Torus call
- 57:49Speaker 3: because like Nor and in English, he's one of those
- 57:51Speaker 3: guys who we now have a pretty long track record
- 57:54Speaker 3: of he's gonna spike more often on difficult courses, which
- 57:58Speaker 3: makes the fact that it just spiked on really easy
- 58:00Speaker 3: just like even more impressive and even more of an
- 58:02Speaker 3: encouraging sign. So yeah, I think the z Alatur's call
- 58:06Speaker 3: Nor in English, that type of players is who I'm
- 58:09Speaker 3: really going for, and the type of player that I
- 58:12Speaker 3: don't want is like still like a Windhom Clark type
- 58:15Speaker 3: guy who if he plays really well this week, if
- 58:18Speaker 3: he if he shows that he's back to the really
- 58:21Speaker 3: good version of Wyndham Clark, then again we're gonna want
- 58:23Speaker 3: him in the signature event, not one of these fields.
- 58:26Speaker 3: So that's that's just the way that I'm continuing to
- 58:29Speaker 3: kind of look at this. Honestly, the same applies to
- 58:31Speaker 3: Brooks Kopka, right Like, if if Brooks wins this week,
- 58:33Speaker 3: if he's Brooks all the time and not just in
- 58:36Speaker 3: major championships now, then we're gonna want him in one
- 58:38Speaker 3: of those bigger events. So it's it's less exciting to
- 58:44Speaker 3: think of it this way because we're, like I said,
- 58:47Speaker 3: we're in the third week and we're still saying, don't
- 58:50Speaker 3: use guys that you're super excited about their chance to
- 58:52Speaker 3: go win the tournament this week. But I think you will.
- 58:55Speaker 3: You will thank yourself if you approach it this way
- 58:57Speaker 3: once again this week once we get to those bigger events,
- 59:00Speaker 3: both in terms of the you know, the majors and
- 59:03Speaker 3: the signature events for the person's hype, but then also
- 59:05Speaker 3: later in the season when you know you're at Craig
- 59:09Speaker 3: Ranch or Detroit or one of those events, and like
- 59:13Speaker 3: there are three good players in the entire field. It's Nap,
- 59:16Speaker 3: it's McNeely and those guys, and it's like, oh, now
- 59:19Speaker 3: I can use them when they don't have to beat
- 59:21Speaker 3: Xander Ober can't Ley camyon day Sea Whu Spawn all
- 59:25Speaker 3: of these guys they just have to beat each other,
- 59:27Speaker 3: and you're gonna just gonna be a lot happier that way.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't find. If I could find, i'd just
- 59:31Speaker 2: read it verbatim. I wish I could, but crazy like yeah,
- 59:34Speaker 2: like it's everyone thinks you need. Yeah, it'd be nice
- 59:37Speaker 2: to get a winner every week, of course, that'd be amazing.
- 59:40Speaker 2: But it was like I was brought up from like
- 59:41Speaker 2: the big splash one last year. I think the winner
- 59:44Speaker 2: ended up having six wins on the season, which obviously
- 59:48Speaker 2: is insane, but the people don't recognize how important it is.
- 59:51Speaker 2: But like people are acting like you can pick it
- 59:52Speaker 2: up here and there, you're your point on the gotter
- 59:54Speaker 2: Up one. It's like you want you want to pick
- 59:55Speaker 2: up goddr Up when he's not popular. Can beat the
- 59:58Speaker 2: ceiling of those that had him at the number and
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: he really could be that good, like like we saw,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: and it could be in an event where he's the
- 1:00:06Speaker 2: twentieth highest stone in one and done because everyone's on
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: the Xanders, the Obergs, the et cetera, the et cetera,
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: and it's like there's no way god Arc could come
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: out and win it. And then he does, or he
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: scores bigger money for second place then at a signature
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: or something. Then it would be if he was to
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: win the event early on in the season and it's
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: at two percent or one percent ownership or something. So
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: love that call out as well. Think that's really solid.
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Let's go to our lane. I'm gonna before we do that.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: Before we do that, we should we should pick which
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: of which of the three guys we kind of narrowed
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: it down to for our for our joint entry.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm high on Zal so that would be my thought.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: But if you have something different on that, I just
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: like I said for me, it does he continue what
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: he did from last week? I don't know, but if he,
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: if he can or does, I think it's fine and
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: I like, I like that option. I'm not actually super
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: high on him. Overall. Just to me, it was for
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: for one and done. My thought process is like I
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: do want to use him. I don't haven't seen much,
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: but I saw off last week. If you can continue
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: that to this week, if you can play it out
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: and then I always worry about the guy like he is.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: You know, he's had injury issues. It is what it is,
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: call like you see it. It's like I'm never counting
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: for that. It's like we don't play for backup running
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: backs in football because like, oh what if there's an injury.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: It's not that, it's just Golf's a little bit different
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: and he has been a bit fickle that way. So
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: talking about man, Alex Blickell play the man that's fickle.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Willie Zlatoris, Let's let's go with it.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. I'm good with Slatoris. We can
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: go there. I I really think like the three best
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: options are pretty clear to me that it's nor in
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: English Elatoris because I'm with you on Zelators, like, I
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: don't think I'm gonna want him at another point this season.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: I'm very confident I'm not gonna want Nora or English
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: at another point this season because they they are both
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: like lower that they're not low volatility guys, but they
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: they play a lot better on difficult golf courses because
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: they have a very extreme set, which is avoiding bogies
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: much more so than they're good at making birdies on
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: an easier courses. So they're always gonna have a better
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: chance of separating on these really difficult golf courses. We
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: don't see those very often in in weaker fields, so
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: you just like, they're not the kind of player that
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: I feel like I'm gonna want later on the season.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: And Dala Tors fits the same box, if you will,
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: as those guys. So I like all three of them,
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: and I'm I'll probably you know, I've got three entries
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: and one of them is our joint entry now, so
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: I'll probably just do one of each and and make
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: the Zalad Tors want our joint entry.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: That's perfect. I think pretty solid last week. Like I
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: said again, those are like the other things too. You
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: got to pick up those top tens, top twenty scores,
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: and any type of event those add up those that's
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: where the money just comes from. You need the winners.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: So it's like when you get your five to six winners,
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: if you can pick up ten top twenties and you
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: know five top tens and all that that's where it
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: can really start racking up to give yourself an opportunity.
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: But you need those wins and you go and you
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: want to have them, no secret here, but you want
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: to have them on the big weeks. You want those
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: signature events and those major wins. So perfect. Yeah, love
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: that call. Let's go with Zal. As far as my
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: lane goes, I said, I would say it to the
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: end because it's more of a concept than that. But
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear to me this week and again,
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: I'll play both of these. I'll also play uh, you know,
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: more options and stuff. But for my single entry, what
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: you will see when it finalizes out is I'm going
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: to play six guys that go north south. And the
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: reason I'm doing that is I don't think there's much
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: weather on the south, you know, for the week. I
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: mean like so it's like usually you're like, oh, play
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: the harder course on the harder day and all that stuff,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, you want or the
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: harder course on the easier day, so it doesn't affect it.
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: I kind of want guys that can score early on
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: the north, do well on day two, and then ride
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: that momentum into the back to back rounds they have
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: to play on the weekend. The other thing about that
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: is this is a concept piece that people don't talk
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: about enough, I think. But just of note is if
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: you look at it, going back to do sorry man here,
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: just going back to the stoneber a second south south
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: south south south south south, like all the guys at
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: the top. So one thing is it doesn't mean it's
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: good bad at the ugly. It's just noting that when
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: you are using the one way to naturally get different
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: when you already have bunched up ownership. This goes back
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: to the other side of it. When you have naturally
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: bunched up ownership, you also have pretty bunched up win equity.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: It's not like a Scottie week where we have you know,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Xander might be five percent up top or something like that.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: It's not gonna be like thirty five percent or whatever
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: Scotty was coming in at last week. So that's fine too.
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: But when I see the bunched up ownership, I know
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: that a lot of it is just gonna naturally land
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: with one to two guys on the opposite course. They
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: can easily still get there, but a way just to
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: get naturally different while still playing good options across the board.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: Even if they end up all being ten percent owned,
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: they could all be ten percent. I'm gonna have a
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: sixty percent combined ownership and they're all just equally at
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: ten percent. Could happen. I'm just saying if that was
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: to happen, not many people are gonna have that setup
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: or combination across the board because it's basically a it's
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: a it's a correlated lineup right based in golf, based
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: on the starting course that they're on, but you're still
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: using different pieces than in different combinations than what we
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: talked about before, Like a Patrick Rodgers, I don't even
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: know what course he starts on, But just an example
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: is if people are playing Patrick Rodgers and then going
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: to Xander in most cases, or pot Geider and then
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: going to Xander, I would also kind of want to
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: flip that too. If you're playing a south course lineup,
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: maybe I'd want to have those guys but then have
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: the rest all be on the South just to get
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: me naturally different from that perspective. So from a concept perspective.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: It doesn't make it easier. It's not about their mindset
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: or in that. That's just it could happen, and I
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: would want that, but it is going to get me
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: a different lineup as a whole. And so that's kind
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: of how I'm looking at it for this week. What's
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: your thoughts and where are you going with yours?
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: Yeah, no issue with that whatsoever. Mine is going to be.
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier that like, I'm almost certainly going to
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: use a lineup where I have six conturing guys. This week,
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: maybe I'll be five conturing guys, but I want to
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: be a little bit more specific than that with my lane.
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: And so what I'm going to say is I'm going
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: to try to avoid a lot of the seven K range,
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: and I'll just give kind of like a quick explanation
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: for why this is. Let's say that I really liked
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: Brooks kept I'm just gonna use Kopka as an example
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: here if I want to if I want to be
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: right about Kepka, I can't just be right that Kepka
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: plays well. I also have to be right that all
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: the chalk around him doesn't play better than he plays.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: So I have to write about Jake Knapp underperforming and
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: Rasmus Hoygard underperforming and Sam Stevens thorpe Bjornson, Hgo Hoyguard
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: and Piercing Cootie all underperforming. Right, It's it's a very long,
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: extensive bet to say that brooks Kepka is the best
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: play in that range if I'm just using brooks Keppa
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: from the range. Whereas if I go down and I
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: play a Matt Wallace or Johnny Keefer or yes, Bris Benson,
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: who's a real he's gonna be like one percent or
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: less than I think is actually a really good course fit,
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: then I don't necessarily need them to beat all those guys,
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: because I can run into the situation where I have
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: a combination like two or three guys up top that
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: do really well and could not possibly be combined with
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: that upper seven or low eight K range. I had
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: to go cheaper with that with that remaining spot. So
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: I'm going to try to build some lineups that take
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: advantage of that, that lower the number of guys that
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: I need to be right about for the lineup as
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: a whole to really succeed. So kind of avoiding the
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: super super chalky condensed ranges that are just so diluted
- 1:07:27Speaker 3: with popular players that it's going to be hard to
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: get the absolute best play from that region, and maybe
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: you just skip that as a whole and find a
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: different construction that way.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's gonna be the key to you.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: You know. The other thing is too for me, just
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: noting that Cam Jung up to Zander are all starting
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: on the south, so I know I can tell you
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: that's the next part too, is like it doesn't naturally
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: just mean I go to Jason Day to start my lineup.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: I think that's another big mistake people make, where like, oh,
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: pretty easy, Tam, what just told me he's going to
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: do this and then do this? But because he's not
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: playing those four, he must be playing Jason Day. It's
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: not even close. So it's little things. Doesn't mean you're
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: not gonna start there. But saying that outside it couldn't be
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: a lineup with him, there can be. I'm saying for
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: what I'm explaining, that's not what it means, Like, that's
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: not the concept here at all. It's saying whereas most
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: people will land out. So now, for example, I don't
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: love necessarily Patrick Rogers at high ownership this week, but
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: he starts on the north course. So many Patrick how many?
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: How many times? Is Patrick Rogers not gonna be with
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask it a different way at least one
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: of Xander Ludwig can't lay Young Sea wou spawn English
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: like all those guys can fit into it and automatically
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: changes the game for what my lineup sets up like
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: so that whereas I can get around it. And that's
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: where a gatting not who you play, it's how you
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: play them. That can be a way that you get
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: around it as well. So I like that. Keep an
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: eye on the weather. That's gonna be part of it
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: as well. Some of the tea times, later tea times,
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: the heat, the actual you know temperature that it is outside,
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: all the type stuff matters. Showdown really good week for Showdown.
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: We're obviously targeting the north. Not many will go the
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: other way. If you want to try and pick a
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: diamond in the rough on the south, go for it.
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: But like just you can kind of avoid that, get
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: around it the other way and get different there too.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: So I think it's a good week for Showdown. I
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: think it's a really good slate overall. I think it's
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: an excellent event. Barnon, you know nothing else, even got
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: nothing else going on on Sunday, you'll have your Round
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: four stuff. There is no football this week. It's gonna
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: be a great event to watch, I believe, so any
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: final thoughts from you, Alex. If not, you can let
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: the people know where they can find you. Anything else
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: you want to touch on before we get out of here.
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll touch on one more thing. And since people
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: enjoyed like the little bit of a mathematical breakdown last
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: week on Scott, I'll give one more this week. I
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: probably won't be able to do this thing, this sort
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: of thing every single week, but if the people continue
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: to like it, I'll keep providing it. It's a bit
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: of a window into just kind of the logic behind
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: saying I'm going to have like a fully contrarian lineup
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: this week. Let's take someone like Patrick Rogers seventy two
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: hundred dollars even for us, he projects really well. He's
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: one of the best projected values in that low seven
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: thousand dollars range. Let's look at his top five top
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: ten in miss cutoffs. He's a six percent chance in
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: our simulations for a top five twelve percent chance of
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: a top ten and a thirty five percent chance of
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: a miscut if you want him to like really help
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: you get a takedown, not just be a solid play,
- 1:10:12Speaker 3: but like be the guy that you need. In that
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: price range, you're probably gonna need a top ten finish.
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: So twelve percent chance of really helping you get a
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: take down, thirty five percent chance of a miscut. Literally
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: about three times more likely to fail as chalk than
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: he is to help you get a takedown. That's the
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: sort of thing we see in PGADFS. It's different than
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: like when Christian McCaffrey is super popular or Chris Sale
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: is super popular as a pitcher, where there a odds
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: of success clearly are higher than their odds of failure.
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: With PGA guys, especially as you go down the board,
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: like basically anyone other than Rory or Scottie, you're always
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: going to see this that they're actually more likely to
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: fail than they are to really help you get a
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: take down because how many guys are in the field.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: So it just makes more sense in PGADFS than in
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: other sports to have fully contrarian in lineups. And it's
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: also then confounded by the fact that you only have
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: to be right about six guys instead of nine in PGADFS.
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: So I think anyone moving from nfl dfest to PGADFS,
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: when you're so accustomed to feeling like okay, I need
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: to have at least one or two or three like
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: super chalky pieces. Otherwise I'm just gonna get beaten by
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: all the chalk. It's not quick the same in PGADFS,
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: you can be more aggressive and you can be a
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: lot of successful.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to ask you too. I want to
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: do a leave a comment contest moving forward like give away.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: I'll give away a free week to PGADFS over at
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: triper Nation. We can we can park that into it
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: or something, just because obviously if you guys are watching this,
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: we appreciate it. What what can the what do you
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: think the comment should be? Do you do you want
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: to be the winner? Do you want it to be
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: the you know what your lane is? I want to
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: make sure you do hit the thumbs up. I did
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: realize this too, By the way, if you're on a
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: iPhone at least and I don't know who's not, but
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: I'm not, I think Alex, you know, and you have
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: an Android, I do maybe my only friend that I
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: can make fun of here that that has an Android
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: because I turned everyone else over to the other side.
- 1:11:59Speaker 2: But it has read receipts, now and stuff, so it
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: makes it a little bit easier. But just noting it.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: If you're on that the chat that pops up. I've
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: realized this too, Like if people hit the heart button
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: instead of the thumbs up, you have to actually hit
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: the X on the chat for a second. It'll come
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: right back, but you hit the X, hit the thumb
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: and then let the pop up go back. Everyone's using
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: it on mobile, so if you haven't hit the thumbs up,
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: do that for us now. We appreciate it. Make sure
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: you subscribe to the channel, and then when this ends,
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: we're watching it live right now anyway, so you can't
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: miss out on this. But we'll do a week per week.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: I'll start to add this in so I give away
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: a free week. What do you want people to leave
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: a comment about? Though I meant to ask you this before
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: the show, but I was coming in hot today.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: I think we should do like best strategy question and
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: then we'll pick the winner by actually answering the question
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: the next week, so it can be just like a
- 1:12:46Speaker 3: general DAFA strategy, or it could be like, hey, I
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: felt this way about using Scotty this week. Here's why
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: I felt that way. Do you agree? Or something like that? Right, So,
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: anything of that of that nature, because that's that's the
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: type of thing that we're trying to do with the show.
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: Anymore thought provoking question or comment. If it's like I like,
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: if it was your thought process that you want to
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: lay out. And I'm not saying you got to write
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: a novel, I'm certainly not expecting that or wanting that.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: I just I do like that call up because one
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: of the things about the comments, I like to go
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: back and try and answer them or respond to them
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: or help people as much as I can, but can't
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: do it all. So if you and I can sort
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: of pinpoint one and say, wow, what is this, you know,
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: let's actually talk about this on the next one, we're
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: able just to bring that right up on the next event.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: So yeah, I love that. Another thing too. Got to
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: always think about our guy Djen arrest in peace to it,
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: our man Djen, the big guy in the sky. Monday,
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: our man over at Shibba Nation says the Mustache Talk.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: We talked about already the elf in the room it's
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: gone reminded me of one of my favorite Djen's notes
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: for Min Wu and over on the site, Alex, we
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: still have all of Djen's notes that he had on

- 1:13:58Speaker 2: I was on the actual one. Anyway, I'm gonna do
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: it different way if you go here, if you're on
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: the site and you're a member, I'll bring it up
