Elky's sharkscope is funny


[/ QUOTE ]

probably just variance... people go on 12000 SNG downswings all the time

[/ QUOTE ]

If he's getting 60% rakeback (an estimate for Supernova Elite) on these SNGs, I'd say it looks like he is probably near even or in the black. If he get's 100% rakeback, as someone said, I would guess definitley in the black. If he gets 100% rakeback + 60% extra for SNE, he could be decently profitable.

Edit- What average buy-in does he play?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think anyone (including Stars' sponsored players) gets rakeback..the VIP program is Stars' version of rakeback. I dunno what Elky's deal is worth--but I think a good guess is 150-200K/year including the value of the buyins Stars provides/expects Elky to use. Now do the math on his Sharkscope and VIP-back and you can figure out how much money Elky makes or loses in a year, if you're still curious.

bigjoe was talking in his blog that elky would sign up for a ton of tourneys and just sit out and not play them just to gain more vpps
