Best way to show support is to buy.
If charging a premium, at the least I should be able to see why that is.
As it is it is probably best to just say he is having a punt when playing well above his normal stakes and sell at 1:1. A lot of people just like a sweat.
100% agree with this. Obv people shouldn't just come on and say you are not worth that amount, but on the other hand people should say why they are worth the amount they are asking for. On the staking template I knocked up there was a heading called 'reason for markup' - really think people should have to justify themselves and i think writing exactly why you think you are worth X amount extra would stop some people charging over the odds. Obv not suggesting people be overly honest like; "selling 75% @1.2 so I don't have to put up any of my own money up" or "selling 50% at 1.6934 to cover my hotel, taxis and a bit of grub". Just "i did this, i did that here are my results online and live etc."
In reality there are probs <15 ppl on blonde who are genuinely worth any markup at all in a single tournament.
I like a punt probably more than the next man but have been put off recently due to a lot of people charging markups with little or no justification. So I just exercise 'Don't like, don't buy'. This subject has been discussed to death and nothing really ever comes of it, but meh.
As Tom and Frankie said it's not really on to say "you are not worth that amount", I hope I haven't done that here, just trying to say people should be forthcoming with why they are charging the amount they are asking for.
Sorry for derail jj, just replying to a valid point Doobs raised.
