| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 952 of the official. |
| 0:21.8 | Establish the Run.com podcast. |
| 0:24.1 | My name is Adam Levittan. |
| 0:25.3 | I am one of the co-founders here at ETR. |
| 0:27.5 | We're coming off of A, the regular season is over kind of week. |
| 0:32.9 | Yes, that's right. |
| 0:34.1 | After 18 weeks of battling, sweating, tilting, analyzing, over analyzing, the results are in. |
| 0:44.4 | Good news is I did well in DFS cash this season. Ended up with a 62% win rate in head-to-heads, |
| 0:52.5 | 11.6% ROI. That 11.6% is my fourth best ROI in head-to-head |
| 1:00.7 | ever. Best since the 2019-20 season when I was at 18.7%. Best season I ever had was 2018 season 22.1%. But yeah, I mean, given how much sharper the |
| 1:18.6 | field has gotten over the last, I don't know, two, three, five years, I'm pretty happy with |

| 1:40.8 | weeks or so, was on pace at my best season ever, then got buried for the final |
| 1:45.6 | five weeks. That was a little frustrating. But yeah, still, 11.6%. Certainly we'll take it. |
| 1:52.6 | I'm not really sure on takeaways in terms of those results. Our projections, you know, |
| 1:58.5 | and you can go back and listen to a solo pod I did in the midst of the sun run. |
| 2:02.8 | I talked about this for a while, but our projections were the best they've ever been. |
| 2:07.9 | There's always an element of I was running hot for the first 12 week stretch. |
| 2:12.3 | Definitely ran poorly for the last five weeks. |
| 2:15.2 | Overall result is probably something around expectation. |
