Sharkscope is a Joke

I was looking at my shark scope stats earlier and while I am not going to lie im not a superstar player, I am a good player. But I looked up my stats for Lock a site where I have never deposited on and it shows me as a $180 in the hole player. To me this is hilarious as all my money has been won through freerolls and thus at the very worst I should be at the break even point. The point is this, don't always take into account some independent sites stats when looking to stake or even judge a player because like I said earlier I am a good player but according to shark scope I am just straight up garbage.

I dont think any of those sites take into account freeroll money won, so it will show up like that.

have u ever withdrawn??? it doesnt take into account if u have deposited or not it just looks at wins vs losses itm rates etc...on top of wich $180 isnt exactly a massive amount :|

I understand that and thats why my message is to not take into account just the stats. Its funny how they don't take into account freeroll winnings but they are quick to report how you lost those winnings.

gimmeabrew is a fucking joke

I have never withdrawn from them and while $180 isn't massive would you stake someone who was in the hole $180? That is what I am trying to point out is that people look at shark scope like its the poker bible when in all reality it is not accurate for all players.

Yeah my Merge account looks like that too. It's just freeroll winnings as Poofs said.

sharkscope and others don't calculate things right and don't cover everything. Some players play for points and rakeback while breaking even or even losing a little at the SNG's...I don't believe It tracks BOunties properly either. IT definitely doesn't track private games like PO revenue. As a micro player peeps constantly think im super loose - which is very funny. The only thing someone could look up on me that has any validity is SNG games...where Im up like $57?? to $90?...schedueled where I play like .60 fast fifty's while doing other shet it has me losing like $400? or $350??? lolool so fuckin funny...I cash out. period. One thing I did notice is that if I win a monthly free roll for a $2.20 free setty, then turn that into $11 then $60 and I lose the free $60 it counts that as a loss..lolol IT was a free $60 satty? and I took 10th - 1 out of the money (which pissed me off)... If I took 9th I would of made $120. a total turn around of $180 on sharkscope....if yo do this a number of times you can see how this would fk your numbers up. Ive won plenty of free $2.20 and $11 sattys (FREE)...but if u lose its a negative$11 on your stats - but not your bank roll.
The best part of all this is it makes my $250 and $500 gtd tourney play very easy - I just all in with AA kk etc and I always get a "stats guy" calling because hes looking at his HU display and see negative $330 or whatever... ITs all gd...I think Im up $140 in scheduled the last month.
IF I were to look on another site with rankings I am K4 star or King five star rated - that doesn't jive with negative $330 or whatever... so go figure....

Satellites make mine look like I lost $100+ in like 3 tournaments on mine too when I actually just satellited into bigger events cheaply. lol

best thing to do if ure trying to get stakes is to play consistantly well and get stakes of the po members or at least if u have never deposited explain this to would be staker and they would soon see that for someone who has never deposited to have "lost" x amount means u must of won it somehow and therefore cant be that bad...

Yeah i always laugh at that too on sharkcope, it doesnt count you winning the sats just the losses and id rather them think im bad too

Sharkscope does not track private games or freerolls. I have never deposited on Carbon and just cashed out $600 but it only shows me as up $300.

The freerolls do not count towards your ROI because no money was invested.

PooffyFooffy is more than likely right. I'm not aware that statistic sites keep track of freeroll money. But, I am aware that if you cash in something like the vip freerolls on carbon, those winnings will show up on some sites.

It is good that Sharkscope doesn't accurately reflect any semi-complicated things. That way some people will make incorrect decisions in your favor based on your crappy Sharkscope rating.
