slapdash Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Re: Curious Sharkscope figures You mean the profit, but negative ROI ? I see this so often I've given up trying to make sense of it I know exactly why it happens. The "average ROI" is the average of the ROI for individual games, not taking the stake into account. So (extreme example) if half your games are at $5 and you lose them all for a -100% ROI, but half your games are at $100 and you have a +50% ROI on those, then you have a large profit but an "average ROI" of -25%. I was just rather amused that I seem to have generated a fairly extreme example myself, completely accidentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterling Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Re: Curious Sharkscope figures I've seen one once where the persons "Average profit" or rather average loss, was more than their average stake. Was quite an odd one, obviously works in a similar way to the negative average ROI. Strange phenomenon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
