Trust some stranger who's likely a scamming degenerate poker player with my money on his word alone? Not chance. I learned early in life NEVER trust anyone with your money EVER…… My old man always said the biggest most common scam ever starts with the words "could you loan me some money......"
…..Staking done right online and completely controlled by the site like GG does it isn't really a worry in my experience. Those ideas likely wouldn't hurt for live play though. Humans are humans thou so a guy could have a great record and history of being honest right up until he doesn't and he screws you over….

Thx for your opinion. I think I trust Poker Stake ( Josh Arieh ) system.
I was told that they checked every seller’s tournament entry tickets (buy-in receipts) before they pay out. And I believe it as I consider it’s words from Mr. Arieh and he is not going to risk his reputation for anyone and any amount.
This is my opinion.
My questions were for sellers. I come to conclusion that if everyone starts asking for updates during the tournaments, ignoring players with ridiculous Mark ups according to their results.
I think 0-10% m/u should be standard of good investment depending on their results.
For supper stars* 0-20% is reasonable. Anyway most super stars offers at No M/U as their intention is to limit their exposure and make their fans/investor happy.
As staking is becoming more and more popular I think big tournaments (WSOP/WPT etc) should come up with some kind of recognition system like GG poker system mentioned above
I wish everyone will post their experience with different staking they did with rating of the players with their personal experience.
Idea of this thread is not to criticize any sellers or their asking for m/u but to guide investor community by sharing the experience.
