Why dont you keep your stakers happy by making posts similar to MC on his staking thread?
see below for eg.

Was flying today, got the roll up to almost €1700 early doors, but then lost 6 matches in a row after getting repeatedly gayed. Rallied back though for a reasonable profit for the day. Still employing the same method as yesterday, and I'm happy with how it's working out so far...

Starting Bankroll: €1439.25

You at DTD this weekend Kellster?

I had several PM's last night fom poker players, each alleging that Kellster has nipped them - the amounts run into many thousands of pounds.

I have no way of knowing if they are speaking the truth - but I have no reason to doubt them, either. They are not people who would normallly contact me on blonde.

All said the same thing - Kellster is just shrugging his shoulders & promising the money some time down the line.

The kid appears to have no sense of financial or moral accountability, & has never apologised, or shown any remorse - accordng to the convos I had last night - exactly the attitude as shown by Kellster on this Thread.

If you read this whole thread - pro poker player, playing cash for a living, wants $500 to play MTT's. I mean, really! Earlier, in his FIRST Staking request, he asked for over $6,000 - more than ANY player has ever requested on the blonde Staking Board!

You will know that before he reached the 300 Post Threshold required for Staking, he made scores of nonsensical 1 line Posts, many of which we Deleted, as they were clearly just for Post-Count.

In short, he was desperate to get Staked, & the blondes, trusting as ever, obliged, with Staking, & Loans.

Some time back, he was on the PHA Board, chirping that he was playing the Big Game at The Vic. How the regulars must have made him welcome.

He is a real-life Walter Mitty.

My personal view is this.

He's a wrong 'un, a hopelesly out of control poker player with no sense of responsibility, a serious gambling addiction, total 100% ignorance of bankroll Management, & he is in desperate need of help to control his addiction. In fact, many of us are guilty of some or even all of those problems - but we don't nip our friends to feed our addiction. The best way to help him is to deny him funds.

i heard hes going tonight to play cash game

 

[Longy]

No tikay you are wrong, he deffo plays online cash for a living.

Just on a bad run for 12 months, being -10k over two sites (stars and tilt) having played 10k hands. He is going to move up where they respect his nipping.

Good post Tikay.

I was speaking to some poker players on msn who I wouldn't have thought had even heard of Kellster yet upon mentioning his name the amount of expletives used was quite surprising for a 19-year old who can only be relatively new to the poker scene. I certainly hope the stakers see their money again.

It sounds like he's a bit of a degenerate and needs some help but it got me thinking that maybe there could be some other way to filter out people who can and can't do staking or have an approval system?

Just using myself as an example, I have nearly 1000 posts on here now and am therefore more than eligible for staking if I wanted to use the facility. Because it's not my thing I prefer to stake blondes instead. However, not many blondes know me apart from the Nottingham lot (which actually I guess actually is a fair few!) and it would certainly be possible to gain a fairly respectable reputation and get staking of some sort whilst masking your true intentions and remaining relatively unknown. Although people smelt a rat in this instance with Kellster he was still essentially able to do exactly that.

I think it would be a good idea for every staking request to be approved by one of the admins. This would have no backfire on blonde if anything were to go wrong but certainly a measure to stop the good nature of the people on this site getting abused. Going back to my example, I would have no problem with an admin declining an identical proposal from myself when accepting an identical one from someone like RedDog (even if let's say I had 10x as many posts). He's a known and respected member of blonde and people don't really know me. Why should I be trusted with their dough because I've written 1000 posts?.  

Maybe this is just rabble and I wrote it in rather a hurry as I'm in the office but think something like this or increasing post count considerably could be a good idea.

lol at people who staked this guy. Proper deserve a good grimming.

I'm not at all surprised. What we, individually, know, is just the tip of the iceberg, in my personal opinion.

He's a wrong 'un, through & through. Avoid.  If he were a racehorse in Timeform, he'd have a double squiggle.

Good post GreekStein.  As one that's been 'lucky' enough to invest in both Fergus and Kellster, I'd quite welcome some admin approval for staking schemes.  

There seems to quite often be people coming on after the grim to say that it was expected, track record etc.  I don't see why these people can't speak up before hand.    I appreciate that it's my fault for not looking at the info  properly before shoving some money into it, and it's  not always possible due to timings for people to shout up, but if someone is a known scammer or a degen that's likely too scam, a post informing those that may not know would be useful.  

[Longy]

I agree with you in principle Greekstein but this really is a minefield and having someone deciding who is worthy of staking and who isn't, is going to lead to bad blood, with accusations of nepotism etc.

With the internet being such an anonymous world, it really is difficult to know someone who is going to be honesty and someone who will grimm. I have seen people not on blonde, that seemed decent people from their posting history who grimmed people.

To be fair Fergus, AdamG and Kellster all had ropey backgrounds, which a staker could have quite easily researched and saved themself the headache of spots like this. As the saying goes "let the buyer beware".

Yeah Graham, i probably owe you an apology as I very nearly expressed my concerns yesterday and decided against as I didn't think I had enough solid facts to kill any staking Kellster might get. I knew about his extremely dodgy posting history and had a non reply to a pm about a transfer, where I outlined that under no circumstance was i sending first.

[deepreacher]

I don't understand why people jumped in so fast to stake him when he didn't even do a proper proposal?!

And jumping from asking for $6k to just $500 when a few weeks ago he shipped a big score in the brawl is just LOL.

I'm just glad I refused when he offered to trade $3k with me on tilt

I hope silo and the rest of guys get your money back!
