SharkScope Succeeding in Business-to-Business Solutions
If you play online tournaments and sit and gos, you are likely familiar with
Sharkscope. In case you're not,
Sharkscope allows you to look up stats for any player and filter them by specific game type.
This allows you to look at what games you perform that best at, while potentially avoiding games you are the worst at. Additionally, you can see if you opponent is crushing the game type you are in, which is very useful if you never had any history with a player to get a quick idea of how he or she plays.
What we bet you didn't know about SharkScope, however, is that it offers a business-to-business solution called
Sharkscope API. Software providers can use this tool to integrate the power of
Sharkscope into their own products, giving their customers more bang for the buck.
Over the past couple of months, we covered how
Sharkscope API works for the poker tracking and HUD program
Poker Copilot and the poker rankings site PokerWinners by interviewing key personnel. Through these interviews, we learned why they chose
Sharkscope API, how easy it was to integrate, and how happy their customers are.
Poker Copilot allows players to have stats from Sharkscope hovering over their opponents in their HUD, while
PokerWinners uses this tool to power their entire site.
In addition, three software providers - Selektor, SessionLord, and SharkyScanner - can auto-register you into sit and gos on PokerStars based on criteria you establish and using data from SharkScope. With either software, you can potentially avoid playing against too many sharks or too few weaker players.
Since winning in poker isn't always about how good you are in general, but how good you are compared to your opponents, these tools can prove to be invaluable. They wouldn't be nearly as useful if not powered by data provided by
Sharkscope through its API.
If you are a software provider, you should think about using
Sharkscope API to help make your products more robust, as it can help out a wide range of products. Your customers are more likely to be happy with the new functionality. and a happy customer is a good customer.
If you are a player, you may want to think about one of the tools mentioned above, as it will save you plenty of time from looking up statistics on players manually.
