IMO, POT is the simpler to understand as it Profit On Turnover, e.g. Turnover = $1,000 with profit = $100 gives a POT of 10%.

OTOH, ROI can be defined in different ways, normally either as a return on investments or as a return on assets, therefore leading to different outcomes.

In racing terms it would mean the difference between investments (turnover) or bank (assets).
