In general there the core principle of spaced repetition that you don't put something into the system that you don't already understand.
When trying to memorize mathematical results make sure that you only add cards when you really have a mental understanding. Using Anki to avoid forgetting basic operations is great. If you however add a bunch of information that's complex, you will forget it and waste a lot of time.
Yeah, I'm wary of that fact and I've learned the downsides of it through experience :)
