It's kinda hard to say how much time it actually takes up. i am usually on my computer a lot during the day, and just send reloads as they are needed. going over PMs and chatting with Elio about backing stuff is most likely where a lot of my time is spent in staking. And also going over new PMs. If i had to guess, i would say i "work" about 4 hours a day. obv i work at dif times of the day and i have 2p2 in the background or am watching some people play etc.

Thanks
1. Well, if we think they are +ev in the schedule we put them in, their bankroll is pretty much endless. we just keep investing. once people get MU, you gotta keep investing in them if they are still winners in the games.
2. prolly low stakes mtt sngs. 180's, 45 mans, 18 mans etc. thats how me and my first partner pageh656 got started. we started with 9 man sngs, then went to 18-180's. we started with $700, so had to try and go the least variance route.

One personal question if you dont mind asking, what is the origin of your last name?
It's polish. and from what my family has told me, it means "long winter".

I just shaved my hair two days, so i have very little left at this point, ha ha
We look at how good they have done in the past (sharkscope opr etc), i chat with them some to just get a feel for them as a person, we do a HH review and if they are good in all those, we offer a deal.

But maybe you would be willing to tell us what your best day profit wise was and what worst day lose wise was since you started backing players?
I would say the best day staking was when we had a horse get 2nd in the warm-up for like 78, and he had some MU. we also had a few other guys that did well that day as well. if i had to guess, i think we prolly made like 60-70 that day (a lot of that was from getting back MU we already had out there, so i suppose thats not really like us making 60-70)

Yeah, i am trying to think of how i could do this easily, as sometimes its hard to tell who loses the most each day (unless its one of our 3-4 HSMTT horses)
will work on getting something i can post in terms of numbers so people can follow along easily.

However, I think a valid way of demonstrating the same thing would be in % and ROI formats.
IE
A.) What percentage of your overall staking BR is usually in player accounts versus what percentage you keep ready for reserve/reloads.
B.) What was your 2011 ROI overall?
C.) What type of BRM do you supply your players with, as in a guy grinding $15 9 max turbos gets xxx buy-ins in his account and we keep yyy on hand for reloads.
D.) What is your annual/monthly expected return, how much does that vary based on variance over this many horses?
I think this is a way you could demonstrate the same info without providing financial details to the public about your operation.
A---our staking bankroll is kinda fluid. we dont really have a set number that we can invest. I will say, we have more money in players accounts then we do in my/elios accounts. That will tend to happen when you have so many horses though.
B---Not sure. so hard to tell with all the BF stuff and US horses being shut down and that MU equity just being on hold.
C---Depends how much he plays a day. We generally give people enough to play each day. if he plays 20 game sets, we would send prolly 40 buyins for him. if he plays 20 tables constantly, we would prolly send him like 50-60 buyins. Basically, just want him to have enough to play each day. I am usually around as well to reload if necessary.
Kinda answered the second part of your question earlier. we keep a lot on hand for reloads/people usually have endless bankrolls (for the most part).
D---Not to sure. It varies so much. My goal for this year is to make 150-200k+ from staking.
Thanks for all the help with my eating/heatlh stuff. always good to read stuff about that to broaden my knowledge on the subject.
