Is it accurate that 96% of players lose money?

I think we need to define what you consider a winner.
for me to play without depositing, I would already consider myself victorious.

 

[yuriko oyama]

Yes, and I'm one of The loosers

lol
we are two then.lol

In my subjective opinion, these are incorrect data. I think the distribution is roughly as follows. 80% of players only lose money, I am more than sure of that. About 10% play without losses, but also without much gain. And another 10% of players have a stable profit. This is how this ratio looks in my opinion.

 

[pavel1111111]

could be right , I was thinking at the sume of 80-90 %

 

[19aleks57]

I think whoever plays in free tournaments does not lose money.

 

[YenRodriguez]

you come to have a good time playing, and there you lose money. some lose little and others large amounts. the house always win

 

[pokerD]

I find this number a bit exaggerated., i think just"85%" of people lose money

 

[GoodMoon90]

I am a winning player because I play freerolls) I think the figure of 90% or so reflects the real number of losing players

 

[Andyreas]

I guess around 85% the percentage of people who lose weight

We'd have no obesity anymore if that'd be true. 🤪

Sorry, I'm using the translator, but you know what I wanted. but i already fixed it

Is it accurate that 96% of online poker players lose money? I have seen several users on this forum in several threads throwing this statistic around. I would like to know if there is any basis for it; what study or source is this 96% figure based on?

And if you do not agree, what do you figure the statistical breakdown is amongst winners, break even players and losers? Thanks! 5️⃣

possibly I'm in that group of losers. I'm going back to studies and practices to try to improve my income.

 

[rachelle2291]

I think there is a high percentage of players that basically just play freerolls or for play money so they must not be counted in this statistic

 

[Andyreas]

Sorry, I'm using the translator, but you know what I wanted. but i already fixed it

I know but I couldn't resist, sorry. 🙊🤣

 

[COMIRRR]

A small percentage of people make money from poker, here I mean those who withdraw the money they won.

 

[Rahatis]

Oh!! And all these years I thought it was 97%.

 

[Colbefc]

I would have thought it was 99.99% and that includes me

 

[antonis32123]

Most lose for sure , I think these persentages of 95-99% are exaggerated , but yes , truth is that most lose. Then many don't win much , some regs win their living , very few have big winnings , then come the (true) pros who take the lions' share , real pros in online poker like C Darwin ...

 

[Rost]

I think about 80-85% of players actually lose money. Only skillful, experienced and patient players can play and make a profit. It is obvious that 80-85% of players do not have enough experience, skills, and patience.

 

[Fushicho]

I don't know why its a problem. How many hobbies can you make money from?

 

[NightStalker]

I don't know it's true, but I think most of players lose money.

Most players are recreational. I think this statistic is normal.

 

[TirariAchref]

Yeah it's hard to make profit in poker that's why you need to make profit from freerolls.

 

[sincos]

I think in the range of 80-90% of players are losers

 

[dallam]

Its a very hard topic, cause even the word profit not meaning the same for every player. And I'm not really sure its even worth to pay attention to others that much, when mathematics clearly tell that you can be a profitable player, and there are so many educational sources to be connected with, and keep progressing and rising. Has it a limit? Yes, but there are so many ways to measure what are you capable of, and what direction you have to stick.

 

[Risto234]

I'd imagine this is just like everyother thing where most people dream about fame, money and so on yet only like handful of them actually achieve it ...

So yeah this must be totally accurate ...
