Is PayDirt a replacement for my own spreadsheet?

Not necessarily. Many players keep custom notes or projections. PayDirt is the hosted model, ROO, ownership, and research layer — including Custom ROO if you bring your own projections CSV.

What does PayDirt include that DIY stacks usually miss?

Maintained sport models, distributional ROO views, contest/field research tools, member content, and an optional read-only API — without rebuilding embeds and data plumbing every slate.

Can I use PayDirt data in my own apps?

Yes, with a separate API Access plan. Site memberships unlock browser tools; API Access unlocks REST endpoints for betting models and DFS projections/ownership.

Where should I start?

Read the ROO guide, browse Models for your sport, then compare site plans on Subscriptions. Short Daily and Weekly passes exist if you want a trial window.

Guide

PayDirt vs building your own DFS models

DIY sheets are flexible. A hosted PayDirt stack is faster when you need maintained models, distributional views, and research in one place.

When DIY still wins

Build in-house if you already run a full projection pipeline, have engineering time to maintain it every season, and only need a thin UI on top of your own numbers.

In that case PayDirt still helps via Custom Range of Outcomes or API Access — without abandoning your stack.

When PayDirt is the better default

You want sport models (projections, ROO, optimals, bet sheets) without rebuilding them each slate
You care about ownership and outcome distributions, not only point projections
You need research companions — gamelogs, contest analysis, bankroll tracking — next to construction tools
You want articles, podcasts, and Discord process alongside the models

How the product fits together

Models are the construction and pricing surface. Research supports process and field study. Subscriptions split site access (browser) from API Access (programmatic). Coaching lives on SkillSharps.

New to the stack? Start with Range of Outcomes, Betting Models, Portfolio Manager, and Contest Analyzer.
