Win rate - Win rate is the amount of money someone is expected to earn per hour. This is expressed as a percentage, in dollars or in big blinds per 100 in poker. The higher the win rate the more a player is expected to win per hour.

The amount of money someone is expected to earn per hour. There is nothing in there about how if it is negative it becomes a "loserate." It is just a simple expectation.

Quit being a knucklehead.

If I lose 1000$ an hour, how much do I earn an hour? You are better off looking in a dictionary to define the word win and lose, unless your last post was a level.

If we are playing a temperature game, we have a thermometer, temp goes down every day by 5 degrees for 350 days then it goes down 2.5 degrees forever thereafter. Its win rate goes up even though the temp continues to go down. If you use a HUD you could start 3betting it light if the temperature ever starts raising too much.

But you don't seem to have any trouble understanding the definition of win and lose. It is win-rate that seems to cause you problems.

You earn -$1000/hour. LDO.

Were you an investor? You seem to be suggesting that earning a negative amount of money is impossible. You are wrong. It happens every day.

edit: Failing businesses are another you can add to the category of earning -$.

No. I say they are the same thing. See my first freakin' response to this thread. Also, you have a nice holiday as well. :-)
