Staking

[TheWhisper]

Hi Everyone

I have had to withdraw my poker roll to pay for bills etc but have some time to play tonight and really fancy a game.

I am just looking to play a $22 180 man on Stars.

50/50 after stake deducted in the event of any binkage?

Kind regards

TheWhisper

According to OPR you run at about 50% ROI in these games, so why should someone stake you at ~100% ROI to see any return?

Ya, ridic premium to charge for a single comp.

Thank you Flushy for pointing the error of my ways I will spend the evening watching TV instead.

I am not sure I agree with your interpretation of my results as I show a profit on these games, albeit small.

Thetank, not sure I understand your comment, staking for single games is always 50/50.

Be lucky

staking for single games is always 50/50.

according to who?

[thetank]

staking for single games is always 50/50.

Are you putting up 50% of the buy-in?

If not you are charging a premium. Wanting someone to put up 100% of the money for 50% of any prize is far from standard in a single comp staking deal.

If you can find mugs that like to do this then well played. Keep doing exactly what you're doing and more power to you.

tbf people have made this mistake before because people who are running good or whatever will stake X blondes at 50/50 but obv there is a difference between offering a stake and asking for one. also 50/50 could be fine for a long term +ev deal, but not really for a one off.

i read (dunno if true) that that russian dude who finaled the WSOP and the WSOPE was staked 100% and only got 10% of each win.

Sometimes people will offer this as a one off for fun but asking for it is way over the top.

If you can point me to a thread on here where someone has asked for and got 50/50 for 100% staking I'll be impressed.

70/30 in stakers favour is about the best you can get.

Not saying you're trying to rip anyone off I think you just don't understand quite how much you're asking for.

Good point.

The offering to stake people in one comp for 50:50 is people who've just had a big win or w/ever and they know they're taking a negative EV hit but they want to give something back to the forum out of a kind of philantropy balla-ness. (or a similar motivation, I dunno. Maybe they want some degen action and would rather that the equity they lose goes to a forum member rather than a casino, or just for the craic, who knows, these people eat £5 notes for a laff  )

As byron points out, there's a big difference in people offering free money and people asking for free money. Not saying that's what you've done deliberately, the confusion is understandable.

[thetank]

It's not that we're all h8ers, it's just that there's a slow bloke that posts on here called EvilPie who'd ridic multai and also a bit special. We like to look out for him, he'd have a bit of everthing otherwise.

If Flushy et al didn't point out which deals were shoite for the backer numbers wise poor Matt would only be multai instead of ridic multai.

Cut the guy some slack guys.

He's only asking for $22 not like he's asking for 50/50 backing into an ept event.
