Do you realise that Ian attracts more people to this forum than staking boards, IFM & Flushy for Mods imo

Can we have an IFM starts an arguement in an empty room board pls.

With some tagline like:

Are you looking for an arguement? Well this is the board for you, blondes own resident "mardy mustard" will argue about any topic you choose.

u got my audi?Huh?Huh?Huh?Huh?Huh?Huh??

Ask IFM, i have hired as my solicitor. He has said your motives are pure greed and has suggested me writing a diary about it, but only if a new diaries board is made.


whooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh

cant particularly see the point in having a post count restriction for offering stakes, and think that 300 posts is too small to ask for stakes.. in fact I dont think you should even be able to ask for stakes in the short term. Theres far too many nippers compared to stakers in the poker world that its just going to lead to an imbalance of posts.

1000 posts AND been a registered user for a year, AND no PKR avatars is a better restriction imo.

I think you've gotta go by how long the persons been a member for, you can set up an account and post absolute shite on every thread going just to get your 300 posts up. FWIW im glad the staking board is up and running.

a pretty good % of the posters on here post absolute shite in every thread anyways, as tightend alludes to, so its going to be too hard for the moderators to discern what is and isn't a futile attempt to bolster the post count, which is why i think duration of membership is a much better standard.

Ultimately though, as tightend said, blonde take no involvement in all this, so there is a caveat emptor basis involved no matter who/what gets staked... I hope its a success but I really do think it should be a board that, for now, only allows people to offer stakes and not request them.

Obviously the only argument for staking boards is that it will attract new members, so greed is the driving force so logically it was Tighty's decision?
Do you really want the types of members attracted to staking boards though?
Forget the page refreshes, unique ip's for a second please!!

I find this a bit offensive Ian, and even if it was commercial, the word 'greed' is so misused here.

p.s stake me for 10k nl pretty please.

but how many winning players truly have a lack of capital. I seen one person already asking for stakes for £160 worth of buyins. £160 is a sum of money you should be able to find in an old coat pocket, what kind of profit is staking this kind of person going to truly generate?

I appreciate that due to work etc there could be an avenue for staking people on limited funds, but its going to be overrun by losing poker players that for some reason think they are long term winners. The staking started for a bit of fun rather then a diligent attempt to be a fiscally prudent investor, and the more people that offer % of themselves, the more likely it is that the board will fall to shit. All imo of course.

I'd happily back grinders like byron if they let me be their rakeback affiliate,  so i guess anyone that can play 50,000 hands of cash a month at 50/1 or higher, PM me!

I dont think its a LOL comment at all. A lot of peopel that grind that many hands a month do it because they have financial obligations that they need to meet, and if they get a backer, they reduce their risk, make their monthly nut, and if they have a bad month, they dont have it on their plate to deal with it. In an ideal world where theoretics beholded anything else, it would be a LOL comment, but the grinders needing/wanting backing is low down on my list of LOL's compared to peple that offer X% on one tournament deals.
