Excited about new season ahead as the British clubs did absmally in the champions league last years an wondered what people thoughts on the 2 manchester clubs in tonite s game ? As a win double pays like 9/4 ! Both have interesting games with different dynamics an with the derby on Sunday who will be trying 2 take more risks to win tonites game.
Man utd over the years have been for formidable at home whilst City are bad home an away so far in their champion leagues career. Odds are s'more or less the same for both teams with 1 at home an 1away so which is the banker ? Or are they best left alone wt 2 mangers trying to find their way? Thoughts please
Think Celtic going struggle this year! Oi! Celtic did ok last year! Looking forward to the champs league games. Know nothing about punting thou, will leave that to the experts.

For the OP, if you're genuinely interested in the topic (most people who bring the subject up are purely trolling and never listen to the answers) ... I guess it's pretty hard to comprehend for guys who play less intensively, but you gotta remember that big downswings are reasonably standard. Now if you're playing average buyin tournaments of say $40 (that's basically a range from $3rebuy's to $100 freezeouts) and you get into $100,000 make up, then yh, chances are you are playing losing poker. However, the guys who are most commonly staked are those playing high stakes MTT's (average buyin's of $140-$180) and throw a few live tournaments in there (a $10k, 5k EPT etc) and losing $100,000 in 6 months is nothing out of the ordinary. I'd go as far as to say that if you've been playing high stakes tournaments for more than 2 or 3 years and never had a $100,000+ downswing you've been very, very lucky. I think referring to it as a "Make-Up Gravy Train"is kind of misguided. Yes, it's very true to say there are players out there who are being staked for games that they can't really beat, due to either past results or they just know the right (wealthy) people but there are a LOT of very successful staking deals out there, and staking isn't exclusively for people who are broke. We've had this discussion on blonde more times than Mitch has ordered the DTD cheesecake so let's not get into it in too much detail, but there are many different reasons why staking agreements develop - I'm not going to but I could list you a few names of people who are backed who you'd wouldn't think and they are very successful players. The point you made though about "how far do you go" is a very valid one, I personally believe there is a point where, no matter how good the player is, he reaches a point where he is simply in "too deep" and it's borderline impossible to get out of it. I've known of a few guys be in $150k+ and gotten out of it, but not many, I agree with you that it defo has an affect (for most people) on their play. It's very hard on the backer, but he has to be responsible for his own business and if he thinks its too deep then he has to pull the plug. I think in a LOT of instances the stakers are just a bit too degenerate and this prolly affects their decision making negatively. The "gravy train" will never stop, as long as people have money and good players who have a game they can beat have run out of money savvy gamblers will always wanna back people. ON the same page, people will continue to be backed who prolly shouldn't be, people are just degens at the end of the day Hope you actually wanted this info and I haven't wasted my time. Really mature an intelligent post dave for the average poker player to understand. Really makes more sense !

As someone who stakes people online, I'm not really sure where you're going with this. We don't stake players for amusement, solely to make money. Thats not to say that some backers don't make bad investments from time to time, but I've never really seen the need to take it upon myself to berate backers for making mistakes.
Really? I'd say a fair few of us do it for fun actually, myself included....... You're not a backer tho, you're a guy just buying a stake, it's totally different. Valid point. Not just totally different but like said above a whole new world!
