Paydirt Models, Tools, Whitelisting, and Database Management Offerings
This catalog is to serve as an introduction to the tools, models, and data services at Paydirt that are available for whitelisting as a B2B service. This list will include any Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) or Sports Betting models/tools as well as Stats and Ownership Projections. Paydirt also offers Data Management and API services for companies that need backend support to assist with scaling and reliability.
Models/tools can be whitelisted in the form of using Paydirt projections and methods or, for an extra consulting fee, can be outfitted to utilize proprietary projections and/or methods. If a client has a special request or idea for a model that does not exist in this catalog, we at Paydirt are happy to work through the process of bringing it to life.
Data and API management services with Paydirt come in the form of creation, curation, and management of highly scalable systems for your data, projections, and information. We take the data you are holding in less efficient systems and create MongoDB database clusters and optimized collections which are highly robust and extremely fast. For API management we can create and curate APIs using FastAPI structures through AWS for ease of use and adjustments.

Paydirt Tools and Models:
General Information:
The tools and models for each individual sport follow a similar framework to one another. This helps users maintain a familiarity with the tools across sports as well as creating an ease of maintenance. Some basic information about each type of tool and model is as follows:
- Overall Structure:
- Models are built using Streamlit, a framework to create applications in Python, and is easily managed as both a standalone web application or as an iframe, making it very flexible to client needs
- The apps are (currently) hosted through Huggingface, a data and AI community that offers free hosting. We are working away from this platform as we look to scale but currently find it to be agile and very easy to work with.
- The data feeds are managed through a MongoDB pipeline utilizing both caching and optimized querying to provide fast access and quick updates
- Range of Outcomes:
- The Range of Outcomes (also referred to as the ROO) is built on algorithms that utilize monte carlo simulations to create an acceptable set of outcomes that are then measured against various data such as salary thresholds, finishing percentiles, and leverage gains. This model is highly valuable and shows users not only what the expectation is, but also how often certain players or teams achieve specific outcomes around the expectation.

This model is highly valuable and shows users not only what the expectation is, but also how often certain players or teams achieve specific outcomes around the expectation.
- Contest Simulations:
- The Contest Simulations have two models, Regular and Showdown, and are built using Paydirts own Seed Frame logic to create fields and simulate DFS contests. This technology has been built to measure player value and sentiment as well as give users hundreds of thousands of DFS lineups to query and use in their own process.
- The Contest Simulations are an incredibly valuable tool in the modern DFS ecosystem and offer important insight into the true value of both player level and team level decisions.
- Note that the Contest Simulations require a backend process and managed algorithms to create the seed frames and populate the database to ensure that users have as quick and easy a process on the frontend as possible without any hard math or data bloat involved on click.
- Pivot Finder:
- The Pivot Finder is a very useful tool for hand builders while also providing use in creating rule sets and conditionals for MME and portfolio builders. It uses projections and salary inputs to give a list of acceptable pivots you can make off of the more popular options on the slate, allowing for easy gains in relative value.

- Stack finder:
- The Stack Finder is a tool designed for correlation based sports in DFS that utilize salary, projection, and ownership projections to return a list of highly valuable stacks with regard to projection and ownership. It uses trimming algorithms to show only stacks that are as valuable in terms of projection as they are ownership.

- Showdown Optimizer:
- Paydirt offers a simple Showdown Optimization solution for NBA and NFL, the main sports with interest in showdowns, which can give lower level users an easy way to build a couple of lineups.
- Paydirt is looking to replace any low level optimizers with a lineup feed from the seed frames in the form of an “optimals tab”, so we expect to remove the Showdown Optimizer by the 2025 MLB season.

Paydirt Databasing and API Management Services:
General Information:
Paydirt specializes in data, which extends farther than the front end into strong backend structuring and management. We understand that many smaller companies are using excel or google sheets as data solutions, but as you scale these solutions become either too cumbersome or too slow. Paydirt offers the following solutions to improve scalability in regards to data management:
- Database and Storage Structuring:
- We take your existing systems and set them up in a MongoDB cluster, managing your collections and setting up query optimization pipelines. This process ensures you have a reliable data storage and querying solution that can scale into significant size and scope.
- With the way that MongoDB file storage works we have a highly flexible and easily managed data structure that can be easily ingested into various applications through general CRUD and query practices.
- Likewise, MongoDB also allows for in-depth data analysis of collections and data so that clients can find the most valuable areas of their data and where it can be improved.
- API Creation and Management:
- We can take the data managed in any database system and create APIs for ease of use in a multitude of applications. Utilizing a FastAPI pipeline through AWS, we can take the data managed in any database system and create APIs for ease of use in a multitude of applications.
- If Paydirt is managing data for a client through a MongoDB storage structure, the API creation is robust, scalable, and handled entirely in house. This allows us to take on bugs and make adjustments quickly and efficiently without having to work with a third party data management group.
We are confident in our ability to take existing data management structures, especially those without a database solution, and optimize them for speed, scale, and workability. If you are looking to maximize your data, Paydirt will help you.

This tool is very powerful and used by high end users to create high upside portfolios.
- Portfolio Manager ($500 per month)
Database and API Management Consulting and Cost:
- Database and API management services work better as a combo but can be utilized individually depending on a client’s wants, needs, and prior commitments.
- Both services require an extra consulting step to decide on scope and process, which is charged as a secondary fee before any technical work is handled.
- Consulting fee ($75 per hour)
- Consulting fee ($75 per hour)
- For both the Database and API solutions, after deciding scope and necessary requirements through consultation, the Database process requires authorization of current systems to create connections and spin up agents and scripts to handle the transfer of data pipelines.

- Admin app create ($150, one time fee, per cluster)
- Cluster creation ($150, one time fee, per cluster)
- Recurring management fee ($500, per month, per cluster)
- Should scope or scale exceed initial estimates it will be necessary to revisit the data plan and implement a more robust solution which would incur extra charges
- Should scope or scale exceed initial estimates it will be necessary to revisit the data plan and implement a more robust solution which would incur extra charges
- For API solutions that do NOT include a database solution and use a previously implemented storage system, there will be extra steps of authorization and admission to current databases. This comes in the form of a consultation and extra technical work.
- Database adaptation ($75 per hour, max $500 per system)
- Database adaptation ($75 per hour, max $500 per system)
