I've seen some strange things on OPR, like apparently a winner-take-all $33 R tournament on Stars ($14,300 win). Is there any such thing? Check out a player named WOLTAS. For the last 120 days, he is ranked 3rd out of 691,330 players. What are all those $14,300 wins showing up in his stats, with several different buy-in amounts? Just looks wrong to me. Can you trust OPR?
In addition, it doesn't seem like you can put too much stock in the number even if it is accurately reported. Many winning players would be losing players if you just remove 1 or 2 big cashes from their statistics, which is clearly within normal variance. Seems to me that a 99% rated player could have just gotten lucky once or twice to get that rating, otherwise they'd be in the bottom 50% of players.
