is it me, or does my sharkscope ROI make no sense?

[x in extremo]

As of now, it says:
games played: 346
Avg profit: 0
Avg Stake: $10
Avg ROI: -6%
Total Profit: -$41

According to this info, I invested $3460 dollars, so
-41/3460 = -1.2% ROI

So what's with the -6%?

does it account for rake?

They have AVG ROI and Total ROI. Under FAQ on sharkscope they explain it to you with the formula they use. Under miscellaneous data they show rake paid.

Are you considering that you've played games that are different amounts? I think you're looking at it like you've averaged exactly $10/game, while over hundreds of games your average is simply between $9.5 and $10.4?
Also, then does Sharkscope calculate roi by total numbers or by each game individually, then averaged? I would think if they come up with your % off each game as you go then have a running average % it would be a much different number.
I could be way off, I'm not going to fry my brain thinking any more about it, I just always figured that's why folks could have things like this -- ave profit $0, ave roi -2%, total profit $67

well, I did play a lot of $20 and $1~5 games when I first started (mostly losing a lot)...
I guess all that matters in the end is the total profit....
Thanks!

From my experience, Sharkscope is very accurate and hardly misses any games, so it probably is an accurate reflection of your performance!

cool
So I guess going from over -30% to -6% in less than a month is a good sign then
