Sharkscope-Is this legal?

Can't believe this is legal, but Sharkscope can legally show your results, losses, wins, form, etc, to anyone who wants to see them.
This will of course effect your game as your opponent will know your general play.

Annoys me but then again, I used to hate poker, Now I love it, just luv it!

It works both ways - you can see their results too.

But if you feel strongly about it, just go to the privacy settings and you can block people seeing certain things.

As for whether it is legal - I very much doubt a Sharkscope Bill has been passed by any country.

If they do, I hope they pass another one that says my AA always wins

And The Mighty Deuces too.

Certainly legal, but I question its accuracy based on numerous searches on it with known players.

It only shows whether they are winning or not etc

Dont see why it would affect your game though

I can tell you with 100% certainty that sharkscope misses the odd game out (regardless of profit or loss).

Don't know why, i just know it does. I don't the frequency of missed games either but its fairly small. At a guess, I would say between 1 in 50 or 1 in 100.

Aye, on Full Tilt or Stars I have very rarely not had a result added. On Boss there are times when I've played 5 or 6 games in a row and only 2 or 3 appear on Sharkscope. (Normally the ones I lose appear!!)

Not a bad thing really, when you think about it. I would rather be a winning player and have everyone think i was weak than have every one know i was strong.

p.s. i am a loser on sharkscope but not by as much as i should be!!!
