Episode notes
How Whistles Brought Him Into DFS
- Keith credits Whistles for getting him into DFS during the pandemic when they started working together on League of Legends and then NFL.
- He describes himself as Whistles' creation and attributes his entry and early success to that partnership.
Three P Process: Projections, Pool, Portfolio
- Keith frames his process as three P's: projections, pool, and portfolio management to minimize risk.
- He relies heavily on public sims for projections and pools and layers his own portfolio code on top.
Don't Mean-Aggregate Projections
- Avoid averaging projections blindly because conflicting forecasts reflect different possible game states.
- Treat differing site projections as scenarios rather than a simple mean to preserve edge.
