    I just found Sharkscope a few days ago. Checked it again today, and it's replaced "Win Ratio", a very random metric, with ROI. I'm hoping that the reason their results are a little off is because they're still adding stuff and developing the site. As a SNG player, it'll be nice to have a DB equivalent to check my opponents past performance. It's still a little wonky - it's reporting my ROI as 60% (I track my own ROI and it's more like 40%), but hopefully they'll get that sorted out soon.

    The numbers still don't make any sense. According to their database I have played 85 sng's w/ and average buyin of $12. I have lost $175 total and have an average profit of -$1, giving me an ROI of 11%? I'm not a statistician, I can't even spell the word, but how can I have a positive ROI when I'm a losing player?

    I dont think their ROI calculates rake... Total profit does

    Good idea, but I don't think I have paid $175 in rake over those 85 sngs. My average buyin is $12 so essentially I pay $1 and change in rake for every sng. That still makes me a $80 something loser w/ a positive ROI.
