I just checked my stats, my total profit is -$5, but my ROI is 69%.  I cant make sense of this, can anyone?

    total profit is not the same as ROI

    roi is a % value relating to how much money you get back for what you put in.

    so if you play a tonne of tiny tournies and win money in them but then play 1 £100 tournie and lose you may well be down on overall profit but you are still a +%ROI player

    geddit?

    Remember that Sharkscope doesn't cover the total history of SkyPoker (I think it started to cover Sky 12-18 months ago but I'm willing to be corrected).

    It also struggles with satellites and doesn't take into account SPT cashes.

    To save anyone searching mine I'm ahead but not by a huge amount and I'm just coming out of a major downswing (hopefully, fingers crossed).  Think the London skyline from left to right and I'm currently coming up the OXO Tower.

    On a personal note I've never liked or fully trusted Sharkscope.  Another major poker site have had many confrontations with the site and now have an opt in clause where the player has to 'activate' their Sharkscope stats.  I'm constantly amazed by anyone who does this as you are just putting free information out there to be used against you.

    Reminds me of the online restaurant reviews which you've no doubt seen? ;-) lol

    I disabled and stopped using Sharkscope as I was becoming stats obsessed!

    Yep, Sharkscope always records it as FULL BUYIN so it can be really 'out' on MTT stats.

    i sat into the £220 mtt 3 times, twice it has shown -£220 (one of these i won £3k) and the other time nothing showed at all.
    I do think it is not far of spot on for tracking your stt results but thats about it.
