Seems not everyone is happy that a third party tracks every game you play in and then makes the information available for sale to anyone willing to pay. Here is the story:

I say good for 888. This is total BS in my view. While you expect someone you are playing with to keep track of you, the mass data mining is just not right. If other players are not allowed to do it, why should an outside agent be allowed to as well as profit from it? Ask yourself;
1. Will sharkscope share in the profits they make off of your stats? No, not hardly.
2. Do you also realize this allows other players who have never played you before to have a complete dossier on your play, in which to use against you in a game?
3. So, this damn site is actually costing you money!
Now, think about that; I always hear people berating bad beats. Well, were they donkey's being donkey's? Or, were they players sitting there able to pull up enough info on your play that they (or a program) could make a real good recommendation against you based of of these stats? Could a prediction be made on if you are bluffing, betting a big pair or small, c-betting with air? Could it detect betting tells and other tells you are not even aware you might have? You bet your sweet bippy, baby!
Isn't this the whole point of this site in the first place? So, how much has sharkscope cost you?/what do you think about it?
