Welcome to Establish the Edge on your host, Lake Leone, I have a fun episode today for

you.

I have Justin Herzade of the Best Ball Board Room on Establish the Run joining me and tons

of content out there about Best Ball Mania for in particular of course with you know that

massive prize pool three million dollar grand prize the winner of the playoffs that makes

sense but underdog this year has rolled out some smaller field tournaments which I really

enjoy at different price points it changes the dynamic a little bit get you also contest

that are a little bit more realistic to realize your expected value which for me is a little

bit you know Best Ball Mania for is a great lottery weighted lottery to play in but I like having

a chance to actually win kind of in DFS I like playing the small field tournament so some of these

tournaments are still going on some of them aren't but the idea is by going through some of the

tournaments they've launched if they do launch future tournaments with similar structures you can

kind of understand how to adjust your play for these structures and we'll be looking at three major

components of your strategy ones like your general roster construction in terms of positional

allocation and draft capital allocation two is maybe micro player takes how to deal with guys who

are suspended her perceived to be riskier than others and then three will be stacking and that

includes team stacking and also playoff week 17 stacking I've rambled enough though Justin thanks

for joining me as we go through these contests sounds good I'm excited yeah I think you know what's

really excited about this year and Summer of Best Ball all the expansion not only from the sites

wise but on underdog we have a bit more of these unique alternative contests that really allow

you to kind of think through okay this advanced rate is 4 out of 12 instead of 2 out of 12 the playoffs

most you know it's a lot easier to get to that final maybe the final is not as large and another
