cdt002 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Say my buddy is staking 75% of my buy in to a NL cash game. What is the percentage that he gets of winning and what percentage should he take if the stake is lost? Link to post Share on other sites
semaj550 0 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I would think that he should get back what he staked you, you take your 25% and give him something in the neighbourhood of half the profit. Maybe 30-40%.The "standard" deal is usually to stake someone 100% and get back the stake plus half the profit. I guess since you're putting up 25% of the stake you should get something like0.5(Profit) + 0.25x0.5(Profit)So if you bought in for $100 ($25 of your own and $75 of his) and left the table with $1,100 I'd argue for splitting it like this:You = Initial stake + [0.5(Profit) + 0.25(0.5)(Profit)]Him = Total - YouYou = 25 + [0.5(1,000) + 0.25(0.5)(Profit)]You = 25 + (500 + 125)You = 650Him = 1,100 - 650Him = 450Don't ask my why I did this drawn out mathematical example, I guess I'm just bored.
