We're talking about $100 here, which seems an adequate amount to punish someone for acting the prick. If we were talking about $20k then yeah it might be a bit harsh, but I don't think it is in this case.

Other horse took exactly the same course as me BTW (kept the money, it was $50 in his case).
You're logic is just laughable here. Whether it's $100, $1, or $1 million, stealing is still stealing which you are downright doing here. The only thing you've done by stealing this $100 is make yourself look worse and even more like that bad guy in this case. You yourself were already freerolling this backing deal before you got dropped and then scammed, no? Had you originally sent back the bankroll, we could have immediately gotten into your claims of Rebuyville being a dick and a bad backer. If you really wanted to punish him for being a "dick" you could have just sent the $100 back and made a negative feedback post about him and his stable with relevant info. You claim he treated you like **** and was a dick to you, yet you allow yourself to stoop to that level which we all saw in the PMs you sent to abarone and the long Tiltbook post and now you have your own negative feedback thread. Not only do your posts show you're a scammer, but you're also a hypocrite.

A serious figure for a cut a backer deserves, assuming we're talking about lowish-medium limits...let's say up to $30 for SNG's, and up to 200nl for cash. I'd say about 30% cut would be fair here, providing horse is a proven winner which is almost always the case since stables don't often sign breakeven or losing players. The total monetary swing just is not high enough to justify a higher cut and plenty of people with a normal job could roll themselves for these games if they chose.

Keep in mind, for the deal to benefit the horse at 50%, even if the backer can put him in higher games, this would have to be a much higher game than player is rolled for himself to make backing +EV for the horse. Let's take spin and gos. If horse can roll himself for $7 buyins, but the backer can put him in $15 buyins, this isn't such a great deal for horse, as 100% of his action at a stake 2x lower is the same as 50% of his action at the staked limit, and at the lower limit his winrate will be higher because of more fish. The backer would need to be putting horse in $30 games for it to even start to make sense for the horse, and even then it's going to depend on his exact ROI's at the limits (for example if horse has 8.5% ROI at $7 limits but 4% ROI at $30 limits, he should be indifferent to getting backed or not as he's making 60c a game for himself at 30s with 50% but would also be making 60c for himself at the $7 limits with 100% of his action).

If we're talking about high stakes games...400nl+ in cash, $60+ SNG's, then 40% seems fair given the monetary swings are potentially beyond what most could roll themselves for. But 50% can rarely ever be justified unless it's some super nosebleed cash game/MTT the horse would never have a chance of playing on his own.



You call it theft, I call it justice.
why would someone looking to invest some of their money choose to invest it in someone who plays $7 and chuck them in the deep end at $30's, they would need a life jacket they'd surely drown.

when you get fed up of slumming it on the streets begging people for their left over food in their trash cans, send me a pm, i'll stake you in the 10c sng turbos. Sometimes theres better value than looking at the dollar.

Can someone please make a isathief.com website about this guy so he can learn a life lesson here?

$100 may seem like a lot to someone who has nothing but trust me you will grow up and find out that none of this was even close to worth it.

You don't take the poker community or backing deals seriously but future employers and other people will, especially when they see the website with your face on it and IS A THIEF underneath it. Return the money and move on ASAP kid, chalk this one up as a bad decision and apologies...

The guy is the definition of small time, and he is incapable of learning "life lessons." He is the type that will always blame others and rationalize his improper behavior as part of that. Lots of people are like that, and they are pretty much immune from learning.

The backer here was obviously a newbie (I doubt any real backers would have ever chosen to work with this guy with even a small amount of screening), but of course that is not the issue with regard to his theft.

The dude stole, he basically acknowledges that. He likely has stolen from people in the past. He will definitely steal in the future whenever he believes it is appropriate for his mood. That's what people like him do, and he likely already blew the $100 he stole in this case anyway, perhaps a night out with his fictional friend.

The only difference here is this guy continues to post in a deluded manner, when most tiny thieves vanish, but other than that minor difference he is fairly mundane.

If it's just about "punishment", you should post the receipt when you donate the money to a worthwhile charity.

Spoiler:
And no, other poker players aren't what I had in mind as a worthwhile charity.

he basically has lied here many times
about his friend saying keep the bankroll
about his friend existing.


so hold on.. for micro stakes.. you think i should put up the entire roll for 25-35%? roughly?

I would actually be willing to do that.
seriously I would

you just wouldn't like How i would treat you though

Grow up crybaby.

Maybe backers could offer a slightly better rate if they didn't have to factor in the chance of getting scammed......

Amazing the lengths someone will go to in order to delude themselves.

put it a different way for you think of it like this 80% of ppl are not nice or rude or selfish like he mighta been like this to you but do you wanna be in this 80% to or be the bigger person send the money back and you can just laugh at him coz you know hes "going no where " as you stated think of it like this say poker isnt your main income but you find a job a promotion when you apply for your promotion do you wanna miss out on it becasue when they google your name they see a post or site about you stealing stealing isn't the answer man seriously

He's a 20 something year old dude living in Thailand who needed a stake to play $3 Spins so I highly doubt the $100 means 'nothing' to him

I don't need to be staked, I have money, I'll steal and scam from anyone I want. Words of wisdom from Fabian Brooks.

I was hoping for this to get settled with the money being returned, but unfortunately, it is now obvious that that is not going to be the case.

Makes it a little bit sad to write this, but - I'd be willing to throw in a buck for the website.

Operated in the highest integrity yet your thread in the negative feedback forum is full of lies on your part.
(most notable is of your "friend" whos been staked and was able to keep the bankroll).

Also funny you admit you outright stole too.


Do Not Stake This guy.
Immediately if you do 1 thing he doesnt like he will whine and steal your money too.
Kids these days.

Still available for staking.

Please ignore my attackers in this thread. You know how it is, when you're successful you attract jealous types like this. As the saying goes, haters gonna hate.

I'm definitely +EV at low stakes spins. No one's ever being able to claim that I'm not, even the guys who don't like me. And that's what's most important in a staking deal, isn't it? A winning guy will make money, but if you back a loser you'll never make any cash no matter how much of a 'great person' he is.

also important to know that the person you are backing will not steal from you

Pretty sure you are trolling anyways.. no one that dumb can possibly think they will get a stake after they outright stole money.

Look dickhead, I'm trying to make a living here, so can you just take your complaints and keep quiet? I didn't 'steal' anything and even if I did, are you saying no one can ever be given a second chance after they do something wrong, ever?

Do you reckon if someone is convicted of a crime, any crime - they should just throw away the key, because no second chances.

Do you also think if you screw up once at work, the boss should fire you instantly, because again...no second chances.

Have an argument with your girlfriend? Yeah time to break up, because no one gets a second chance in his world.

Few people would agree with the above. You probably don't even agree with it, yet you continue to chase me around the marketplace over 100 measly bucks. Get a life.
