Levitan’s Solo Pod: Best Ball Midseason Review plus Your Listener Questions (Episode 1045)

Adam Levitan

over from the time last football season ended until week one, I did 134 best ball drafts on DraftKings and Underdog combined.

Adam Levitan

I'm currently advancing 33 teams out of the out of the 134. So I'm advancing 24.6%, well above the 16.7% baseline.

Adam Levitan

drilling a little further, I'm advancing 23.6% on DraftKings out of 72 drafts on there, on Underdog, a little bit better, 25.8%. My advance rates have been annually better on Underdog.

Adam Levitan

The tournament I was focused on most again this season was the $555 buy-in on DraftKings.

Adam Levitan

I'm advancing seven of them or 25.9%.

Adam Levitan

I think in the high stakes stuff, advancing 25.9% right now, I feel good about that.

Adam Levitan

last year, I advanced a ton of high stakes teams, more than I'm advancing now actually.

Adam Levitan

So, I'd have to do like a deeper dive on this, but on glance, I think I did best with my super late picks.

Adam Levitan

Obviously, had a ton of misses as everyone does in round 16 to 20, but considering like the average hit rate in those rounds, I think I did really well late.

Adam Levitan

one strategy change I made this year in the best ball was trying to be less I K B E early, like less I know better early and have more of a flat exposure through the first three rounds.

Adam Levitan

that's been huge.

Adam Levitan

If he bricks out in weeks 15 and 16.

Adam Levitan

I'm over 15% on Devonte Adams, Terrence Ferguson, Dizon Stribling, Jaylen Noll, Jordan Tyson, Jaden Reed, Bigsby, I mentioned, Jalen Hurts.

Adam Levitan

But we're lying if we don't acknowledge and understand how much injuries impact best ball.
