Online Poker's 100 Biggest SNG losers
Posted by dbirider - Posted on July 17th, 2009
As most of you know, SharkScope displays the biggest SNG winners in various monthly / yearly leader-boards. Getting your online name onto one of these leader-boards is a difficult task and a rewarding accomplishment. It shows that you're better and more driven then 99.9% of the players at your poker game of choice.
We've decided not to track the biggest losers in our leaderboards because it's not exactly a great accomplishment. I doubt anyone would purposely want to get onto the biggest online poker loser leader-board or take pride in being there. We do, however, have the statistics of the all time biggest SNG losers and see no reason not to post the results here on SharkScopers.
100 Biggest Losers Chart
The chart shows us a definite long tale effect, where the top few losers are losing the most money by a large margin. If the chart continued, the line would continue to get straighter and longer as it nears $0. We'd also probably see that the losses of the players who lose between $0 - $100 add up to far more then the players who have lost $100,000+.

omg <3 this post
it'd be interesting to see biggest losers in a different sense, as in the ones with the worst ROIs on sharkscope who maybe play on lower stakes ^^
