I'm playing on Pbros with 70/30 no downside. If I lose I am just in markup, I don't owe anything. I get 0 rakeback.
I know stakes are really variable, so I am just curious if I should be fighting for more edge. This was his first offer and I just took it. So I think I could be getting a slightly better deal.
Interested to hear anyone's thoughts. I've been a live pro for a while but looking to get into the online game.
Cheers
it depends a lot if its only backing or does it involve more time from the backer's part
If it's only a "passive" investment from him , it makes sense to offer very good players a better deal than average without having to coach and invest more of his time
however for somebody to receive a 60-70% the player needs to check some boxes like
crusher/proven winner over big sample
good reputation and trusted in the community or hard vouch
for your actual deal
I would also take this deal if most of my winnings are from win rate and only 10-20% of total win rate comes from RB
if however you're putting in 25-30K hands per month with 2-3bb at 200nl+
I would like to get some % of the RB cause rake is high and you'll be paying 2-3k in rake or more on that sample size
