I have an $80 profit, but a neg ROI?

Hey...just a quick question...my stats on sharkscope are as follows:

181$0 $3 -3%$80

181 Games $0 av profit $3 av stake -3% ROI and $80 total profit.

Name is Get A New Hobby on Full Tilt.

How do I have a neg ROI with profit? How can I quickly make it positive..is it better to play some $2 sngs or $5 sngs and the like?

Thanks,
Katee

Was your profit from cash tables or tourneys? If it was from the ring table the ROI may just be for the tourneys. Some sites are not as accurate as others. X

Sharkscope uses avg ROI not overall ROI so pos/neg results are possible. Larger buyins count for no more than smaller when avg ROI per tournament is calculated. Silly system, I guess you have done better in your larger buyins but smaller ones are dragging the avg ROI down.

Some tourneys are not posted FYI. I was in the daily dollar with 8100+ entered and ended 122nd and it didn't show my stats.

Hey! Thanks for the replies

I thought Sharkscope just monitored your SNGs/Tournies? Cuz cash table wise, it'd be WAY higher. I see more profit from Omaha and STud tables. I enjoy sngs more though for NLHE.

I didn't know that it didn't show those daily dollar and the like...I know when I enter satellites and win I just convert it to money, b/c I have a very low positive profit and I'm worried it'll just go back down if I enter a toruny and lose which is the most likely outcome. I entered a bunch of $3 ones and thats what that large like $30 downswing was. I didn't win one but got close to the bubble several times. Guess I gotta watch more card runners videos.

Anyhow I'm rambling. Thanks for the input!

On shark scope do two things:

1 hit the Misc search and it will show you total ROI not Avg ROI.
2 Goto FAQ section and it explains how they calulate the different ROI.
