    Thanks in advance...

    Sharkscope includes the rake when they calculate your profit & ROI, right?
    So how is it possible (not that the amounts are large), to show a small profit, yet have a negative ROI?

    A friend of mine "Matt1766" (but I'm sure there are plenty of other examples) showed me his stats, and I couldn't explain it to him.

    you're welcome in advance...

    from the faq -

    How can Average Profit be negative and Average ROI be positive?This would mean the player wins most of his lower stakes games that he plays most frequently but loses the high stakes games he occasionally plays.

    and yes, they do include rake

    Thanks again... average ROI, as opposed to total ROI.

    Check.

    This is usually a sign of a BankRoll mgmt issue.
