Here's my thoughts which were posted in another thread on this topic...

If you examine all the factors, its fairly easy to see where all these numbers are coming from...
Rough expectation for long term players:
Ring Games - 40% win / 60% Lose
SNG - 20% win / 80% lose
MTT - 5% win / 95% lose
Other factors to account for...
The winning expectation numbers move up a bit when you account for extra $$$ from RB, Bonus, Point programs, Freerolls, etc.
The losing numbers move up alot when you account for the large number of players that try to play and lose their initial deposit and never return.
If you consider the relative number of people that play ring vs tournaments, its not to hard to understand how a casino mgr would be quoted as saying winners are less than 10%, but a ring players PT database shows 40% winners.
