I just want to see how insulted I should be. I backed a player at various rates and levels for several years in tournaments, with little or no ROI. I was involved with several other backers who lost interest. I continued to back this person on my own and they started doing well. Cashing for over $85k in about a 3 month span. My share more than paid back all my previous investments by 4 fold. Shortly after this they approached me and stated they no longer needed my help. I understand this, although I did feel it was a bit soon, but we agreed to part ways and they would bankroll themselves. That's not the insulting part. About 3 months into their independent voyage they contacted me about backing them in a $570/250k gtd event. The offer was texted to me that I would put up 50% of the entry for 10% of the winnings. I instantly knew this was a typo. It wasn't. I let them know it was a bad deal for me and that I wasn't interested but if they needed $300 I would give it to them. They were positive that this was an offer in good faith and positive it was a good investment for me. I didn't and it wasn't. So.....how insulted should I be?

feeling insulted is a subjective matter. that is for you to decide.

It indicates that he doesn't necessarily respect your judgement or that he is completely full of himself.

First post nailed it, but

If this is true, than why would you be insulted in any way, shape or form? I can understand being a little insulted if they thought you were a sucker, but if they genuinely thought that it was a good investment for you, then they are clearly deluded in both their playing ability and variance in general. If anything, you should pity them.

You got your investment back x4 so they decided 5.0 was a fair markup? Seems legit.

Sarcasm noted.

Offer them 10% of the BI for 50% of the winnings and see how they react.

You got trolled, bruh. Offer him the 10 points for 50% but if he donks it off he pays you back double the BI.

Problem solved.
