How does the Staking works?

[GloBug]

well staking works when someone puts up your buyin so u could play in a tourney. well i susally only stake players that i know will win. as for the payout. it usually is 50/50 plus the person who staked gets there buyin back plus 50%. but each one is different it really depends on how they agree for payment. if the person doesnt cash thats the chance u take. no one gets paid. thats pretty much it.

same her usually 50/50 but i have seen places where ats 60/40 in stakers favor

Thats looks very good for the point of view of the player.
If he looses he dont looses his money, but his reputation, whats rellay worst.
That pressure, plus the pressure of him making only half of the pot must make players much better sometimes. If he stays in a position where he paid his entry, that must make him much more worried about his image.

Ive staked many people, and been staked lots of times.

My usual deal for games is 50/50 plus stakeback. So if i send u $100 for a game. And u win $500. You send me the stakeback ($100) then half the profit ($200).

If im staking someone who im dusious about, ill do 60/40 my favour, unless they final table when its 50.50

If someone goes realy deep, ill throw them a bonus, so if they win $2k on a $10 stake, ill get them to send me $750 and keep the rest.

Ditto. Theres money to be made both ways staking, provided you have a good horse. BAPS are pretty good too, buying into a share of someones large tournement, or series of large tournements, winning whatever percentage you bought in for. If you have 5 or so horses running games for you, you could make a decent weekly salary :-p. theres no staking on this site rite? i remember ive asked before but dont remember gettin response.

i replied to ya, think u missed it.

Occasionally some pple here will stake others, usually if they have had some kind of win, but more often than not its private.

As for offering to stake others, just make a post if your interested. Have some rules tho, and pick your horses well. I can give u advice on that area for this forum if ya want

The old poker forum AJPoker used to do a lot of staking. With the regulars who had been with the forum for some time it worked great. The problem came from new people who would be granted a stake to get them interested in the forum. They would lose the stake in minutes, then come back begging for another stake, as if losing quickly was going to impress anybody. People would mooch there like hyenas, as if the site was there to enable the sick-minded.

I've seen those rules used many times. I've staked quite a few with those rules. Don't stake for the sake of staking. You want to pick a winner and cheer for your horse.
