Bankroll Management

Most DFS players don't have a lineup problem — they have a bankroll problem. Starting with $500 and a strict 2.5–5% weekly exposure rule.

What Makes Slate-IQ Different

There are dozens of DFS sites. The difference isn't intelligence — it's transparency. Every lineup, every loss, every mistake documented publicly.

Built on Three Beliefs

The DFS space is full of opinions. Slate-IQ is built on something different — a structured conviction that process beats intuition, every time.

Consistency Over Big Wins

Chasing ceilings destroys bankrolls. Slate-IQ is engineered for sustainable, compounding growth — not lottery ticket swings.

Process Over Intuition

Every lineup decision flows from a structured evaluation model. Pace, usage, minutes, matchup — in that order, every week, no exceptions.

Discipline Over Volume

2.5–5% weekly bankroll exposure. Defined contest diversification. A CPA-style approach applied to DFS, not a casino mindset.

Built for Casual Players

Not targeting high-volume sharks. Slate-IQ is for beginners, analytical thinkers, and spreadsheet enthusiasts who believe numbers don't lie.

How Slate-IQ Works

A five-step weekly workflow that transforms raw slate data into structured lineup decisions — documented in full, every single week.

01
Data Collection

Pull game logs, Vegas odds, and player projections for the full week's slate. No noise, just signal.

02
Model Execution

Apply Slate-IQ scoring: rank every player by DK Value (projected points per $1K salary) to surface the top play at each position.

03
Bankroll Management

Cap weekly exposure at 2.5–5% of a disciplined bankroll. No chasing losses — stakes increase only after sustained, proven growth.

04
Lineup Construction

1 cash lineup (high-floor) + 4 GPP lineups (correlation + leverage + ceiling). Every pick documented.

05
Full Transparency Cycle

Lineups published pre-lock. Post-slate: full performance review, error analysis, model adjustments.

Not a Pick Service

The DFS content market is saturated with opinions and unverifiable results. Slate-IQ is a decision-making framework — built in public, reviewed every week.

Full Transparency

Every lineup published before lock. Every result reviewed after. Bankroll tracked publicly. No selective memory, no hidden record.

Analytical Framework

Structured, repeatable process applied the same way every single week. Data in, decisions out. No emotional overrides.

Educational System

Learn how to think analytically about DFS slates — not just copy lineups. A framework you can own and apply independently.

Bankroll Management First

2.5–5% weekly exposure. Cash + GPP diversification. Slow, consistent growth as the primary objective — not headline wins.
