blonde poker forum

hi guys, iv agreed to stake a fellow blonde (im not sure if he wants to be named) for mtt sngs on full tilt. as we dont know each other particularly well iv asked if we can arrange a deposit-type scheme with a trusted blonde member. what iv asked is that he transfers $500 to someone on here to be shipped back to him at the end of the arrangement following permission from both of us. anyone interested?

dont stake someone you are unsure of in any way.

trust me.

But I don't know you!

I'm guessing you're shipping the money on Full Tilt? 

At first I thought this was a very sensible idea.  But if you're staking him for a lot more than $500, surely the $500 that's held in escrow is effectively your money from the staking rather than his?

lol this is a joke surely?

If you are going to stake someone you need to trust them or there is no point, fck the escrow.

Seems a bit silly mate, after a couple of 'incidents' (see best of blonde) I think we all agreed that we should speak up on potential grimmers and stuff, so I think you would be well advised to ask around and get some reputable blondes to give you their opinions on said horse for your own peace of mind. If he doesnt want to be named, dont stake him.

Probably best avoid it alltogether, especially if he came to you looking for staking.

okies, so people think this im being pretty thick. im not gonna disagree... its a shame that money brings out the worst in people. seeing as you guys with much more experience than me think this is bad then i'll take your word for it. ta very muchly for the advice. stake cancelled

Why dont' you just ask people of their opinion of him if you are unsure?

Was it Fergus?  He paid me back.

Kellster?

Just to reiterate here what we've said before

You can PM any member of the mod/admin team if you wish to ask questions about a potential stakee

We sometimes, because of posts that have been deleted or subjects that have been raised to us privately, will have information that may help you, or we might be able to point you in the right direction for a reference

Several people will be able to vouch for this when they've asked, and its probably saved them a potential grim!

You reading this Cos?

Lolz

mfker had 1200 posts.

sghjoshgoshg

you've got 2500

post count is no indicator

p.s the character reference for your counterparty would have been fine, so there are no promises.

Its me.

I set up a staking thread a while ago which got little response. And he PM me recently.

I know that I dont know many ppl here or can be trusted 100%.

So I understand everyones point of view with trusting a stranger with your own money.
Just seems that ppl think the worst ppl when they dont know them

I was kidding anyway. This is no guarantee as even someone like me with 2500+ posts will grim the fk outta anyone if I ever decide to put a staking request up.

There's people who have more posts i wouldnt piss on if they were on fire, let alone stake!

Wait till they go out then piss on em, it will sting like fk.

That's not actually true, but it's a good quote.

wait until they get stung by a jellyfish and then don't piss on them imo

I've used the mods for transfers before and felt reassured by them. Though as they mentioned it wouldn't have helped in Cos's case.
You just have to be extra paranoid in these situations especially when you don't know people yourself.

If it helps anyone I've met Paul and I don't think he would grim anyone, but then again a mate of mine just screwed me over on a staking thing for about the fourth time this week, so I'm not necessarily advocating it.

Thanks James
How do u get grimmed 4 times by the same person within a week?

and has there been alot of grimming recently
just read the trigg and rooks thread.

Its the Trigg thread, I havent grimmed anybody!

yeah i know not saying that u have

love it

Lol I can see how that reads now, what I meant was it was this week that he did it for the fourth time in say 3 years. I should have really learnt my lesson w/ him. Sigh!
