Is it accurate that 96% of players lose money?

yuriko oyama · Sep 25, 2022

I think we need to define what you consider a winner.
for me to play without depositing, I would already consider myself victorious.

In my subjective opinion, these are incorrect data. I think the distribution is roughly as follows. 80% of players only lose money, I am more than sure of that. About 10% play without losses, but also without much gain. And another 10% of players have a stable profit. This is how this ratio looks in my opinion.

could be right , I was thinking at the sume of 80-90 %

19aleks57 · Sep 25, 2022

I think whoever plays in free tournaments does not lose money.

YenRodriguez · Sep 26, 2022

you come to have a good time playing, and there you lose money. some lose little and others large amounts. the house always win

pokerD · Sep 26, 2022

I find this number a bit exaggerated., i think just"85%" of people lose money

GoodMoon90 · Sep 26, 2022

I am a winning player because I play freerolls) I think the figure of 90% or so reflects the real number of losing players

I guess around 85% the percentage of people who lose weight

We'd have no obesity anymore if that'd be true. 🤪

And if you do not agree, what do you figure the statistical breakdown is amongst winners, break even players and losers? Thanks! 5️⃣

possibly I'm in that group of losers. I'm going back to studies and practices to try to improve my income.

rachelle2291 · Sep 26, 2022

I think there is a high percentage of players that basically just play freerolls or for play money so they must not be counted in this statistic

I know but I couldn't resist, sorry. 🙊🤣

COMIRRR · Sep 26, 2022

A small percentage of people make money from poker, here I mean those who withdraw the money they won.

Rahatis · Sep 26, 2022

Oh!! And all these years I thought it was 97%.

Colbefc · Sep 27, 2022

I would have thought it was 99.99% and that includes me

antonis32123 · Sep 29, 2022

Most lose for sure , I think these persentages of 95-99% are exaggerated , but yes , truth is that most lose. Then many don't win much , some regs win their living , very few have big winnings , then come the (true) pros who take the lions' share , real pros in online poker like C Darwin ...

Rost · Sep 29, 2022

I think about 80-85% of players actually lose money. Only skillful, experienced and patient players can play and make a profit. It is obvious that 80-85% of players do not have enough experience, skills, and patience.

Fushicho · Sep 29, 2022

I don't know why its a problem. How many hobbies can you make money from?

NightStalker · Sep 29, 2022

I don't know it's true, but I think most of players lose money.

Most players are recreational. I think this statistic is normal.

TirariAchref · Sep 29, 2022

Yeah it's hard to make profit in poker that's why you need to make profit from freerolls.

sincos · Sep 29, 2022

I think in the range of 80-90% of players are losers

dallam · Oct 1, 2022

Its a very hard topic, cause even the word profit not meaning the same for every player. And I'm not really sure its even worth to pay attention to others that much, when mathematics clearly tell that you can be a profitable player, and there are so many educational sources to be connected with, and keep progressing and rising. Has it a limit? Yes, but there are so many ways to measure what are you capable of, and what direction you have to stick.

Risto234 · Oct 2, 2022

I'd imagine this is just like everyother thing where most people dream about fame, money and so on yet only like handful of them actually achieve it ...

So yeah this must be totally accurate ...
