Sharkscope - Friend or Foe?

edited April 2014 in Poker Chat
What are peoples opinions in Sharkscope?

Being a loosing rec player - I often get berated on the tables when running good or you suck out on someone - they instantly turn to your statistics on the wonderful world of sharkscope.

Is there a way to simply opt out without having to pay to set up a Sharky account?  Sometimes I can not help but bite and tell them to look at my stars account - but what is the point! I know is just childish and a manhood measuring tool.  888 Have a total ban on these websites and stars make everyone as opted out unless you choose otherwise.

It is great Sky do not let anyone use the sharky statistic programs in the actual games - will we go one step further and prevent them from accumulating public figures?

On another note - how do these programs work?  If they can gather all that info, what is to stop some bright spark capturing all the showdown hands and gathering yet more info on players?

    Thought you'd gone to pastures new? After all. the ''end is near'' for Sky.

    If someone uses your stats against you then just report it to CC. Or grow thicker skin. Or turn chat off.

    I wouldn't trust sharkscope as a whole I know a few players who have had some big cashes missed on there, plus when sky had a funny turn a few weeks back none of them mtts showed on my scope ;'(
    If you register with them just need an email you can then lock your stats.

    Just re-read the OP and i'm confused.

    This is the 2nd time you have bought up this subject and was advised to contact CC in future.

    Also as a "losing rec player" why would you direct people to your stars account if you are auto opted out?

    Sharkscope can't track individual hands only results. Only you and anyone at the table can see your hands

    Ignore them - like you say it's childish ego milarky :) Poker pro labs has 888 player stats.

    You'd probably get berrated as much for blocking lol - rise above it, play your game whilst attemting to improve and ignore them :)
