How to Use DMP Slips: Step-by-Step Walkthrough | DMP Learn

Using DMP Slips

DMP Slips auto-generates Underdog Fantasy slip recommendations ranked by expected value (EV). This is your fastest path from "I want to bet today" to "I have a +EV slip ready to go."

Here's how to use it.

Step 1: Check the Slate

Before opening the tool, glance at today's games:

• How many games are on?
• Any major injuries or late scratches?
• Any blowout matchups (10+ point spreads) where starters might sit?

DMP flags these with risk signals, but having context helps you evaluate recommendations.

Step 2: Open DMP Slips

Go to Tools → Slips at dumbmoneypicks.ai. The tool auto-generates recommendations ranked by EV. The highest-ranked slips appear first.

What you see for each slip:

• Fair probability per leg — what sharp sportsbooks imply
• Projection edge — how much DMP's model agrees with the direction
• P(all hit) — probability all legs win (with correlation modeling)
• Risk signals — Minutes Risk, Blowout Risk, Concentrated (too many legs from one game)
• Payout — estimated EV at standard multipliers

Step 3: Customize Your Slip

Every DMP recommendation is a starting point. Tap any slip to open the detail view.

You can:

• Remove a leg you're not confident about
• Swap the prop market — e.g., change Points to Rebounds if you think the matchup favors board work
• Adjust the line up or down
• Flip the direction (Higher → Lower or vice versa)
• Edit per-leg multipliers with real Underdog multipliers

EV recalculates in real time with every change. You see immediately whether your modified slip is still +EV.

This is DMP's biggest edge over other tools: you bring your own research. Test your thesis, not just DMP's.

Step 4: Filter by Size and Entry Type

If you prefer 2-leg slips, filter to see only 2-leg recommendations. If you want Flex entries only, filter to Flex.

As a beginner:

• Start with 2–3 leg slips — lower variance, easier to analyze
• Use Flex on 3+ leg slips — the safety net matters until you have a sample size

Step 5: Enter Real Multipliers

This step is critical. Before submitting to Underdog:

1. Open Underdog and build the slip
2. Note the per-leg multipliers Underdog shows for each pick (these vary by betting action)
3. Enter those multipliers back in DMP
4. DMP recalculates true EV with actual platform adjustments

Why this matters: Popular picks get a 0.85x multiplier discount on Underdog. A slip that looks +15% EV at "standard" multipliers can become -EV after this discount. Verify before you submit.

Step 6: Check Risk Signals

DMP flags three types of risk:

• Minutes Risk 🚨 — Player is on the injury report. Their playing time is uncertain.
• Blowout Risk ⚠️ — The game has a large spread. Starters may sit in the second half.
• Concentrated — Too many legs from the same game. A single bad game can kill the whole slip.

One risk signal doesn't mean don't bet — but it means look closer before submitting.

Step 7: Manage Bankroll

• Bet 1–3% of your total bankroll per slip
• If you have $500 for betting, that's $5–$15 per slip
• Never chase a bad streak by sizing up
• If DMP shows no strong +EV slips today, skip. Patience beats forced action.

When to Skip

Skip a day when:

• DMP shows no slips with positive EV after multiplier adjustment
• Your best player just got scratched
• You're emotionally tilted after a bad run
• The slate is unusually thin (under 5 games)

No bet is better than a bad bet. This is where most bettors lose money — not on bad picks, but on forcing action when there's no edge.

Tracking Results

After 50 slips, you'll have real data. Track:

• ROI (profit ÷ total wagered)
• Win % per leg type
• Which leg markets (Points, Rebounds, etc.) hit most often

After 200 slips, adjust your approach based on what the data shows.
