I wanted to get your opinion on certain programs out in the market that involve getting the history of other players winning percentage and losing percentage to determine their skill level. For example, Poker Prophecy. This site which is not free has all the hand histories of players who play on PP's tournments. I checked myself out and I was considered a pro.

Now in opinion is, this is a waste of money because:

1. I do not consider myself a pro.
2. The sites do not factor in many variables like placement in the tournments.
3. It seems that these sites are trying to persuade people that this information gives you the ultimate edge, but if everyone has this information it does not give you an edge.

What is your opinion is there some advantages that I am not seeing?

All depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are looking to become a professional online poker player, or play very high stacks poker then a program that tracks popular internet players tendencies would be worth the investment. If you are going to be an average player who recreationally gambles to supliment your income or donate your lunch money :) I don't see it being worth the investment and time to memorize the information. just my humble opinion though. Gives me an idea to make some scratch though.
