Hi Baz, can I ask a couple of probing questions please, only fauir I think seen as you disappeared from here for 18 months after a spell where you posted a lot, then come back and within a day or two are after money.  

You seemed to be mad keen on chess, then you say youve now dropped it, how does an investor know you wont lose interest over night if you lose a match or two?

At what '£' point does '£' affect your game?

What reason do you need staking, you simply dont have the cash?

GL anyway.

Hi Chip Prince, that's fair enough I'll answer.

I was keen on chess and ended up turning into a complete recluse, and a complete nutjob over it. I stopped posting here and everywhere else, I stopped going out other than to chess clubs and lost a lot of my friends because they thought I'd gone mad. Probably true considering if I lost a blitz game I'd want to hit the screen.

Pool taught me a lot about self control, and my coach has a lot to answer for in that he changed my mindset.

Pool is something that has always interested me, but I never wanted to take it seriously because I was scared I'd lose the love for it. But I have a balance of activities now so that pool always feels fresh, even if I play 4 hours a day (my norm). Having a giirlfriend helps too

At what point does £ affect my game? In any tiny game up to £20 a man I can play as if I am practising. My mindset doesn't change much other than that I replace bragging rights (in friendlies) to winning money. The couple of times have played for considerably more I have found I am nervous for the first 3 or 4 racks while I am finding my feet. After that I have the same mindset I have in practise.

I am looking to be staked for 50% as I have to give some of my money to my girlfriend. We reached a compromise where she'll support me in money games but only if I am not responsible for 100%. She's my rock, and she's in a difficult patch therefore I will agree if she supports me. She does 100%, and thats why I'm looking to the staking.

Sorry about the timing of it all, it seemed a good idea to ask while I am planning my next 6 months with my coach to include a week on the road in Holland. I'm just catching up with whats what on here after all this time. Glad RSQ is still around

I'm gonna sound a complete noob here, but what is a betting coup?

No offence intended, whatever the answer to this question, I just want to remeber if you are the guy I think you are..

Are you the poster with autism?

That's right.

I'll just say if I've broken any kind of forum etiquette in asking then I do apologise. Not my intention to wind anybody up if I have done so.

you havent - people are still a little sensitive after a few grimming episodes last year

there is a lot of trust required for your proposal - but glgl with getting staked

Well if he loses, can just make him go casino and grind blackjack

[The Camel]

I'll give you a go.

I'll put up £125, if you can find 3 others to do the same that's a £500 roll to get you started.

[GreekStein]

If keef is in I'll have a punt for 500 too. Would want a few more details about you via pm though if that's ok

[Dubai]

im in- where do u live? going pub at weekend with one of my mates who fancies himself, he is obv terrible and you would be 1-1000, but he likes a punt and got real good job, so after few beers would challenge u to a monkey no doubt if u was just messing around on the pool table nearby. If not this weekend can set it up at some point. He can afford and needs a pool/gambling reality check, will save him money in the longter,

I'll do it to for £125 but i want a bit more structure and some input into who you play etc (don't want you taking a game against someone you've never heard of for half the stake for example).

Would there be people around who will play you for money anytime who from experience are of a similar standard?

Keep us updated with games/stakes/how you are doing on this thread.

A weekly report would be nice.

Make sure you keep this roll separate to other money, once you start mixing your roll with living money you can get in all sorts of trouble.

Treat it like a business.

Right, me, Cos, Acey and Dubai will put up £125 each. That's £500.

Send us a group pm with your bank details, address, telephone number etc etc and how you plan to get this show on the road.
