Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: matt674 on November 23, 2006, 02:52:24 PM I fear that if your request was a genuine one then you've just picked the wrong time to ask. The forum has been under attack recently from many people spamming questions like the one you are asking.
p.s. :hello: & ;welcome; Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: turny on November 23, 2006, 02:57:01 PM what they guys are trying to say is in what why do you think anyone would want to back you?
you ve given no info about your standard of play what you may or maynot have achieved etc. backers are hard to find especiaslly for an anonymous poster on a poker forum ;) Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: AceofWands on November 23, 2006, 03:38:15 PM HEY I WAS ONLY ASKING NO NEED TO TAKE THE PISS!!! THANKS ANYWAY!! Mmmmm a tad techy. LOL. As previously mentioned most of the the people on this site are on the lookout for backers, sponsors, free lunches or anything they can get. Please join the back of the queue. You normally find though that potential backers are a bit reluctant to stake people they don't know from Adam.

Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: bolt pp on November 23, 2006, 04:16:07 PM His initial question seems to be of a hypothetical nature, enquiring as to how one goes about finding a financial backer, Hes asking how you get backed, not to be backed! theres a BIG difference.
He then goes onto say that he would like to be contacted by anyone that has backed someone before and even though he vaguely eludes to himself being the possible recipient by saying "someone who may be interested" he hasn't touted himself in the usual fashion and seems to me to be genuinely interested in the process of how one gets backed as opposed to just appealing to anyone that may have some doe lying about, expressing an implicit interest in those that have backed before. I may be completely wrong and it could just be more spam, though i think hes been treated a bit unfairly by those that either haven't bothered to properly read his initial post, possibly as a result of this mornings spam problem, or by those looking to have a go at someone.

The spammers are doing my head in.

To be honest this was my first though - hence why i actually put the hello and welcome smileys on my post. I'd rather run the risk of being made to look foolish by not being able to spot a spammer than risk driving a genuine member away from the forum........ Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: Jedwick on November 23, 2006, 04:31:54 PM He aint no spammer, he's my cousin, I showed him the site and he was just asking a question, he dont need a backer! lol, the biggest event he's played in is a 10quid rebuy at the local casino!! lol
Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: Ironside on November 23, 2006, 04:32:47 PM one reason i would doubt this is spam is because he puts his name to the thread (clarkey)
but as we have already had the "BIG NAMED" players shouted down for asking for sponorship or selling part of themselves it is unlikey that anyone joining the forum without telling us about there record in both live and onoline would get anything other than a slating PS if anyone wants to sponsor me to the tune of £1M for a year i MIGHT even offer to paint my chair in there colours Title: Re: POKER BACKERS Post by: AndrewT on November 23, 2006, 04:33:09 PM Bolt's right - he doesn't actually say 'I want to be backed', but he question in phrased in such a way that it could very easily be inferred - it's certainly the way I read it.
It's just wrong question at the wrong time with too little information given to make it stand out from the spammy stuff we're getting. Though anyone who'd clicked on his username to find out a bit more about him would have seen that he's been a member for over three months. Anyway Clarkey, the way you go about being backed is this. The first question a backer would ask is 'Why you?'. If you don't have any solid evidence as to why they should (consistent, proven record of success) then no-one will back you. Note: 'I think I'm really good at poker' will not cut it.
