Can someone explain this to me please

FlyingDagg

This is a graph from a certain site showing my ROI. I know Roi is return on investment but I'm struggling to understand this graph mostly due to the fact that i'm thick at maths. Can anyone explain it to me in the simplest way possible? Thanks.

It means you have played 42 games at $2 a game and made $267 profit or an ROI of 279%. So you invested $84 to win $267.

Nice going )

firstly you cant get a septic tapeworm......they live inside you, you see. For them to be septic would mean your dead....and hence so are they........so yes be worried.

Secondly......how the hell do i know that???

Actually tapeworm, you're wrong.

Definiton of septic:

1.  Infected with bacteria
2.  Putrefactive (half a point for this one, as dead things usually end up putrefactive, but usually via 1.)

If you pay £1 to enter a tourny and you win £3 your ROI will be £2

If you pay £30 to enter a tourny and you win £20 your ROI will be -£10 (Minus £10)

Add the 2 together and your ROI will be -£8 Simples.

I did say in my post that I knew what ROI meant. The graph has entry fee on one axis and ROI on the other. I was asking for someone to explain the corrolation between the 2. when the pic is approved can you please explain it GaryQQQ?
If you click where it says photo pending approval it actually shows the graph (for me anyway). A graph with 2 axis usually starts at the left and will move up or down as it progresses. This starts at the top left and is a straight downward line. I'm beginning to regret asking now.

The graph is showing that you are most profitable at the lower end of the stakes and it decreases the higher you go up in the stakes. You may be able to change it for a bar graph which will give more detail per stake level.

That looks like a trend graph to me.

Elsadog much appreciated. I understand it now. When you explain it like that it's pretty obvious. Again TUVM.
