Percentage of winning online poker players ?

Has anyone an idea of whats the percentage of winning online hold em players ?
I mean at slots , casino games i ve heard its only 3 % who are constantly winning or at least not losing any of their cash .

Any idea of how many online poker players there are world wide ?
100.000 ? 1.000.000 ?

And if its 1.000.000 people , are 100.000 winning players or 200.000 or ... ?

Maybe someone got a statistic , would be really interesting !

their have been suggestions that the online poker boom is into a slow decline but all i have noticed in recent months is an explosion of new sites giving away free money.at its peak there are around 9million online players but i cannot suggest what the win percentage is soz poo poo.

A number that I've heard (but have no way of verifying) is that only 7% of online players are winners.

I suppose the poker sites would have access to these statistics, but somehow I doubt that they want to tell their customers that they're 93% likely to lose money.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the number below 10%. I think many folks, especially the younger ones, see online poker as a video game where "real" money is not at risk. This is probably why we have so many calling stations and allin crazies...

I would think the number would be much higher than 10% winners. I personally am in the + category and I'm pretty sure I'm not in the top 10% of players.

I Have many frinds that play online poker , we are all down big money ( we do have our winning days , but in the long run ) we are all down huge ..
