Issues Arising from Staking

[KarmaDope]

Yeah, I did get the point - excuse my rather sarcastically bad humour. Bad timing.

However, considering people will always naturally post more negative than positive feedback, there is only ~40 posts difference between the number of posts in the above linked thread and the corresponding positive feedback thread.

Maybe we could have one of these as well?

[Simon Galloway]

The positive feedback thread is nothing like as valuable.  First of all, it has lots of feedback from other areas of the marketplace, not staking-specific.  But more fundamentally, positive feedback for a stakee = "a reference" which backers could and should furnish one another with easily enough as part of the process.

This isn't a dig at Alex but i'm bamboozled by people bidding 1.5 in his latest auction. I thought that was a high price anyway, but then came the revelation of 20% tax on the winnings. And people still bid 1.5! Alex is a good player, and it may be a soft tournament, but come on...

I played LAPT Uruguay a couple of years ago.

One of the softest tournaments I've ever played.

Struggling to get in the TTAWPT (Tyne, Tees and Wear Poker Tour) Darlington at the moment, I'll let you when things improve enough for me to travel more than 40 miles from home

Would 1.5 w/ 20% tax on winnings have been a good price? What do you think your ROI is in such an event?

The current staking thread is one of the worst I have seen on that board, it has so many holes in it.

Strangely enough none of the usual suspects that like to police that board have ridiculed it yet.

Why do mods have to start posts with "this isn't a dig at Alex" these days. Tighty did it with the 300 posts thing and even tikay assumed the position on his knees.

His latest Columbia auction is obv not value with the 20% tax but so what. He is a decent egg, posts plenty on blonde and should feel the love and generosity of the guys.  He is getting the bids and it's not like he is selling amassive %age anyway.

I think he should have to stick to the 300 post rule myself as he ain't bigger than blonde and its like having your cake and eat it. If you want the blonde love stick to the rules if not just sell on Facebook.

Even I pussy foot around him because he is a little more sensitive than most

[pleno1]

its what I said, its getting the very best deal for op and people are happy to pay, but people often buying don't understand roi/expected value well enough, only problem is if the money runs out but of course it never will, but for people buying for 15 years+ it will kill them if they continue to regular buy.

the auctions just a really bad thing for the staking section imo and will see some ridiculous prices, but its always good for the op when they know they will 100% sell out.

i'll always do the traditional way of selling and in the future traditional way of buying, although with keys main event cash i'm a lifetime winarrrrrrrrrr for auctions.

[TightEnd]

The new guideline wasn't a dig at anyone. Pleno kept insisting it was. I had to clarify,Jason.

and yes, everyone has to stick to what we require to use the staking board. Don't like it, don't use it.
