HOW ACCURATE IS SHARKSCOPE?

I have tried this site to see how badly I play and find that I have been playing on other poker sites in my sleep.

The cash balances do not seem to tally either.  I there any point in using it at all?

Onwards and upwards :-)

    Well it's usually in $ so that may cause room for error with conversion rates comparing it against Sky. But yeah it is completely accurate. The main things to be aware of are...

    1) Sharkscope doesn't count any money you get from heads in BountyHunters

    2) Sharkscope doesn't count rebuys, so you could play a £2 tourney, rebuy 50 times, cash for £4 and it would show that you made a £2 profit.

    3) Sharkscope will show satellite's won as the value of the seat, so if you satellite into a £100 MTT for £2, when you win the satellite, it'll show you as making £98 profit, then if you don't cash in the £100 MTT, it will count as you losing £100

    The newer Beta version shows in £'s and even as a free user if you are registered there are a lot more options.

    thank you gentlemen.

    your answers have been very helpful but i never play on other sites and it says that i do.  there are other gollygoshes but when i check out the sky poker one (which is the real me lol) it gives me as playing these other sites.

    onwards and upwards :-)

    I don`t think its 100% accurate because when i played the primo or the rollers in the past i satellite into them and it showed I was down like 220 for roller and several times with prino i`d get in for couple of pounds and it show a £55 or £33 loss

    I think it good for sit n go`s though and quite accurate for that format

    but yeah you can change it from dollars to sterling also

    hope this helps.

    Because it doesn't count rebuys, so when you do a frenzy for £2 and rebuy 5 times, then win a £20 seat, it thinks you made £18 profit, but you didn't.

    Hey Liam,

    I explained that in my first post. When you win a satellite, if you win a £100 seat in a £10 satellite, it shows you made £90 profit, then if you bust out of the £100 tourney, it shows you lost £100, but it all works out cos you got +£90 and -£100 which comes to the -£10 you lost in the satellite.

    Yeah it is, I'm always well impressed to see how often you seem to go really deep.

    More MTTs, less Frenzies :p  (no cash lol)

    I get that now but i`m sure it never use to show satellites maybe a year or 2 ago it just showed a loss for example in a main event if you never cashed it just recently got introduced onto sharkscope.
