Hi, this is my first time posting and i can't find how to start a thread or whatever to try an get staked.
Anyway i'm kelvinator66 on coral/eurobet, sharkscope me. for an even better glimpse for certain roi or av profit stuff (my best looking one which normal sharkscope searches can't find) go to www.pokerprolabs.com then click top shark and type my name in. Then put $100 stakes under the 9 to 45 men tourneys or something. and turbo i think not sure, i cant remember. anyway its something like av profit of $10 or shark lol. highest possible ranking (ace with 5 stars)
if you're up for staking me let me know.
ermm, i'm not subscribed to sharkscope for unlimited searches or whatever it is so i'll have trouble doing the advanced searches . i dont know i'm new to this. Cheers.

i play pokerstars too mainly played micro there. hotdog195.

damn keep forgetting to write summit. i was top of 180 man $2 leaderboard like 3 or 4 times i dont even know lol i wasnt counting. shame i didnt carry on til end of year to try an keep title but started putting more volume in other "leaderboard sections" and mtts etc.

Are the days of the backer putting up the full amount and splitting 50/50 over now? It seems like charging markup isnt as good of a deal for the player.

Quick question...If you stake someone and you do not make a profit on the stake...do you receive the markup on the package back?

No.

I just reserved a stake for a UBOC package. The first tournament starts on August 18th. If not stated when is an acceptable time range to ship the money so that my money is not tied up and so that the player has a fair amount of time to find other stakes if something falls through?

Id say like 2-3 days before the event.

but 'full buy in 50/50 split' is a HORRIBLE deal for the investor.

What's more usual if the horse is just a slight winner overall?

As per 2p2 style: slight to no markup.

What about if they don't post in two plus two style and give a percentage split for investor and player?

What is standard and a good percentage for the investor if he is putting up the entire buy in?

I have seen packages running from 80/20 investor split down to a 50/50

What should the investor be looking for to determine if an investment is profitable in packages with these kinds of staking deals?

This is how I personally think of this and please tell me if it is correct.

Example;
A player has a 40% ROI and is selling a package where you buy all of his action and he is asking for a split of all profits.

*If the split is 50/50 then you should expect a 20% return on investment long term (.4 x .5)

*If the split is 75/25 for the backer then you should expect a 30% return on investment long term (.4 x .75)

So if a players ROI is high enough a 50/50 split in not necessarily bad...

Thoughts on this?

*side note...as long as the player has a positive roi no matter how low of a percentage the backer gets the investment should still be positive (long term)

All this being said what are standard percentages and agreements in these kinds of deals?

80/20 type deals are harder to quantify because the investor typically gets 100% of winnings less then the buy in cost and 80% of profits. These deals change in value depending on the frequency that the player makes profit. 50/50 deals over a long term can be done because it's expected that the player hardly ever loses, but over only a handful of tournaments it's likely that the player does not profit and therefore you're not getting your 100% often enough for it to be a good deal.

I guess this is the best thread to post this hypothetical situation:

When I send money to a horse, I copy and paste their sn from their post so that I don't screw up the spelling ( L instead of i etc.)

What happens if the horse misspells their sn and I send money to the wrong account before they notice??? Assuming we cannot retrieve the money, would the horse be responsible for paying back the investors?

Depends if they posted additional information like city and avatar type.

If they did then you are both to blame equally.

If they didnt then they are to blame.

if you copy paste what they write, cant see how you are to blame.


should def double check letter of city/avatar/location though.

This is an excellent guide.

I think it should be added to the sticky that you should mention if you're offering stakeback or not - Thoughts?

2p2 share selling doesn't do stakeback, so if you are posting in standard 2p2 style, it never needs to be mentioned.

Makes sense. New to the whole experience so appreciate it.

what is the standard assumed player/backer cut on this site...?

This site doesn't use player/backer cut. Please read this thread as your question is probably more fully answered.

quite different if you are talking short term, or long term.


or if selling pieces/with or without MU/etc etc
