Title: Re: Staking Websites Post by: DaveShoelace on June 05, 2008, 05:49:11 PM Yeah. Im already regretting this one. I meant in the region of staking a bunch of people for $50 online MTTs or buying $50-$100 chunks of a wsop buy-in. My inbox is now full of PMs along the lines of 'My mate is good at poker, he knows all about pot odds n that, giz $10000'.

Title: Re: Staking Websites Post by: Gryff on June 05, 2008, 06:01:53 PM I'd recommend not pissing your money away staking people.
Most of the time people who need a stake are generally lacking in some area ( tilt control, bankroll management ) etc. Its hard to find a player beating a limit hard enough to actually need a stake for it... The only exception is the big live MTTs simply because the sample size required is huge and one person would never see something even approaching a reasonable sample in their lifetime. PS: A+ responses, I giggled a little. Title: Re: Staking Websites Post by: Royal Flush on June 05, 2008, 06:26:07 PM I'd recommend not pissing your money away staking people.

Also I agree with Flushy, staking can be profitable and a nice passive income if done correctly. I stake 6 players, 4 of which are winning at the moment and the other 2 aren't (yet) uncomfortably deep into makeup. Just take every step possible to make sure the persons going to pay you if they score big. Title: Re: Staking Websites Post by: boldie on June 05, 2008, 09:13:23 PM Yeah.

I gather from my stalker that the blonde poker forum is pretty good for doing that kind of thing. Title: Re: Staking Websites Post by: ariston on June 06, 2008, 12:51:31 AM Theres enough people from blonde going to the wsop- would be far better to just ask someone you know if you could buy a bit of them. Ive sold a couple of small %s in myself for the main event at spot (one to someone who is golden with players he buys %s of) but its more of mates looking after each other than anything. I have staked/bought %s of people and sold bits many times but it is far easier to do it with someone you know and trust than any random bloke.
Title: Re: Staking Websites Post by: AlexMartin on June 06, 2008, 01:12:04 AM Too much negaticity re. staking players. Deffo massively +EV if done carefully. Could deffo see me sending out a blondepoker party of LeKnave, zzzzrope and the like if i was minted enough. Sadly, i aint.
