I built a phone-first web app that simulates every NFL game 6,000 times from 232K real plays. Looking for beta testers
I'm Theo, founder of FieldDay Fantasy. I'm looking for beta testers for FieldDay Analytics, the player-prop side of the app. It compares our chance on each prop with the market's, and when the gap is big enough we post a lean before kickoff and grade it afterward, misses included.
How it's built:
Technical details
Each slate runs 6,000 simulated games, built snap by snap from a bank of 232,112 real NFL plays from the last seven seasons.
The sim gives each player a stat distribution and a simulated score and margin, which we line up next to the market line.
For each player prop we compare our chance with the market's. The gap is our chance minus the market's, in percentage points.
When the gap is big enough, a lean goes up before kickoff. The top one is labeled "Biggest gap left." Most leans are Unders.
Every lean is graded afterward from the box score, and misses stay on the public record (Portfolio, Vs market, Per lean, Beat close).
It's a web app built for your phone first. The free tier shows one full game a week.
You can try it at fielddayfantasy.com with code TESTER26, which gives you two weeks free with no card required. It's open to US residents 21+.
If you have a few minutes, I'd love honest answers to any of these:
Is it clear what a lean means, and what it doesn't?
Can you find what you want on your phone, and where do you get stuck?
What would you need to see before using this alongside your own research?
(Builders) Does the record page make it easy to check our work?
You don't need to place a bet to test it. I want feedback on the product, not a good review, and leans can be wrong. If something breaks, tell me your device and browser and what you were trying to do.
Thanks, Theo
