Sharkscope started to track STTs on old betfair just as I started a $5k downswing. I made it back to zero then went on another downswing. Around the 4th or 5th time I bounced off the zero, sharkscope failed to track a very large STT win that would have put me back in profit on the graph, or at least very close. I snap blocked it after that. This was despite the fact looking bad is a good thing in STTs. Every time I saw that particular graph it tilted me way more than it should have done.
I wouldn't mind, but I was, and am, a big long run winner on the site.
I know somebody who beat me heads up on stars in a big tourney had blocked his stats, but from this and other results I have seen, I would be pretty sure that he was clearly a very good profitable player. I wouldn't be surprised if he was top 10 on there. But I think you are pretty safe to assume blocked = losing as a default.
In Response to Re: Locking Sharkscope Stats. : Your stats are showing as locked.... I've just searched and I can't see any of your stats at all. The only thing I can look at, (not that I would as it's pretty pointless) is like a 'head to head' type stat. So in games we've played together, be it a HU sng, a dym, or a 500 runner mtt it will compare our profit/loss in those individual games. I don't even know how to do it, I just know as a subscriber this is possible. You say "it still shows some results" - what results are you seeing, as I can't see any and I'm a subscriber? Maybe they just show for you? As they're yours..... ? This is what I see........ Username Games Played Av. Profit Av. Stake Av.

cheers m8 if u click on my name for a chart it comes up then, ive done it with other blocked players and it always shows some results.
i blocked my stats on pkr not done it for sky but not played many games so no need at mo but i think should judge players as they play at ur table yea ok look up sharkscope see some1 lost 5 games in a row dont mean they playin bad could be running bad or vice versa sometimes sharkscope can make u play some1 diff and ends up costly should always take every1 as you play them.
i have not checked the states i would not know if it was good or bad. i dont take notes on players, i just play my own way, i know its not the right way but it works for me. i know my raising pattern is all wrong mini raising and limping. i just learned myself how to play and picked up more from sky poker. you cant teach a old dog new tricks Posted by EBBERDON
I locked mine because of my mother ! She has no understanding of poker, but my stepbrother showed her how to follow my progress at WSOP 2010. Her reaction to me cashing was along the lines of but what would have happened if you had lost that $10k ? No comprehension that I had had the holiday of a lifetime, and came home with some $$$$ in my pocket for an outlay of £13 ! Since then she has cropped up on my facebook and had a go at me for losing 6 MTTs in a row, so she had obviously been shown sharkscope too. Then again when I won a roller and she said I should quit while I was ahead We dont talk a lot now ! As well as locking sharkscope, I deleted my facebook account, sick of people who know nothing making uneducated comments. And I dont miss it a bit. And yes Toby, I am a winning player with a profit on sharkscope ! Posted by penguin7
My mother lost the plot when I started playing, threatened to disown me and cut me out of her will.
She has calmed down now, and I do wind her up about it occasionally, but it was quite crazy at the time especially considering I only deposited £5. lol
Jesus, I thought my mum was bad lol. She just moans a bit and says the old textbook things about it all being luck and blah blah. But nothing like the sorts you guys have posted.

Sharkscope's actually a very good way of explaining to people that don't understand pooker that although you don't have much control over whether you win or lose in 1 session you'll deffo win in the long run if you know what your doing
