0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 944 of the official.
0:21.5	Establish the Run.com podcast.
0:23.7	My name is Adam Levittan.
0:24.9	I am one of the co-founders here at ETR, and we are coming off of a
0:28.5	the best ball regular season is over kind of week.
0:33.8	Yes, that's right.
0:34.9	I spent yesterday, Sunday, not really paying too much attention to my DFS teams,
0:41.0	which is quite rare. Instead, I spent Sunday on my hands and knees begging for some of my high
0:48.6	stakes baseball teams to hold on to playoff spots or sneak into the playoffs.
1:00.7	Bestball is such a weird thing in that we spend so much time in the summer talking about it,
1:02.8	writing about it, drafting teams.
1:07.4	And then once the season starts, there's literally nothing to do but sweat it.
1:12.4	But man, I mean, there's just so much money up for grabs at the end.
1:22.9	It is an insane sweat, a fun sweat. I was in this season, I was in for $19,372 in on-screen best ball action across 155 drafts. And honestly, I'm pretty happy with my advancement rate results.
1:33.6	Basically, all the best ball stuff that I'm in is two of 12 advance. So 12 people in a draft,
1:39.0	top two advance by point total only. So the average expectation is to advance 16.7% of your teams.
1:46.7	Heading into Monday night, I'm advancing 25.5% of my teams on draft kings. That includes the
1:54.2	$3,000 buy-in, only did one draft in that tournament, more on that in a second, but that one is
2:00.0	advancing.
2:07.8	Also includes the tournament I concentrated the most on, which was the $555.5 buy-in on draft Kings. I put 19 entries into that 555. I'm advancing six right now. Could be as many as
2:14.1	eight after tonight's Eagles Chargers game, could be down to five.
2:19.0	Either way, even if I only get six, that's a 31.6% advance rate.
