made some back-end tweaks to the projection & betting model again, which i'll (vaguely) break down in this thread. getting pushed in a minute. all changes are made from OUT of sample games so it's not taking something it learned from a game to re-apply it to that same game:

5) large sim adjustment to how correlated a game is DFS result: fixed stacking in the simulator (wasn't stacking properly relative to actual contests), gap between actual correlations is down to 0.02 goalies save accuracy improves for DFS & also props

6) finer bet sizing just using .05 steps in units, not a major change but increases ROI by 1%

added a new Gravity stat to the Impact rating page, it's basically a Quality of Competition metric broken into Off & Def and measured with xG rates of the competition. but thought it was neat.

someone on twitter the other day was arguing that because McDavid plays against top pairs/shutdown lines, that lets his teammates get softer minutes and that doesn't ever get quantified. it does, but it gets quantified in RAPM/Impact ratings, so here it is split out.
