litlebullet 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I just staked this guy that took a huge shot/ overplayed his bankroll/ tilting and blew through his bankroll. I find staking people quite fun and interesting so I took him on the offer. The deal is that he starts off with 70 dollars and he has to grind that up to 200 using sng's. Then once it's at 200 I get 40% of his profits DAILY. And there's no cap!!!!!!! I get the dough until he busts that roll. Is this too good to be true? Should I have not trusted this guy? I don't want to give out his name or stars sn for privacy purposes but is this deal just too damn good to be true? What's a "normal" staking deal/ terms? He had a roi of 50% over 250 sng's, I'm gonna make sure that is true in a few min. He also has won 2 micro tournies and cashed in a 150 dollar buyin one that he made through a satellite.

asytnik 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 He had a roi of 50% over 250 sng'sHello sample size If for entertainment purposes, sure. But you're not going to monitor this guy 24/7 so how exactly are you going to track his day-to-day results? Link to post Share on other sites

DaBruins 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 200 views and one reply? So that means, it's a retarted idea?Actually I take it back. I didn't understand taking the risk from 70 to 200, and I think 50/50 deals are fairer, but now I realized that you included that daily part in there. So when I actually think about it, assuming he actually has some winning sessions, you'd get your investment back pretty quickly and then its all gravy from there. So go for it if you can trust him and like his skills. But how are you going to really know his daily results? And if he doesn't pay you immediately, he might lose the BR and be in debt to you.

bige321786 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My guess is that he doesn't have a 50% ROI over a span of 250 SnGos. My Spidey Sense started tingling after "I'm gonna make sure that is true in a few min." If he truly did, I can't imagine him needing to scrounge around for a mere $70 to start grinding it out at the 5$ SnGos. If this is all true though, then sure, you have made an incredible investment. There must be something you're not telling us.......errrr......are making up. (Gasp) Maybe. Mind you, I hope I'm wrong and I hope great riches rain down upon you.GL Link to post Share on other sites
litlebullet 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Newest development, he wants another guy to throw in 100, me throw in an extra 30, he has the 200 br that he wanted from the start, then we split 33-33-33. I think I like that better. Link to post Share on other sites

litlebullet 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah.....staking some donk that tilts and plays outside his roll is REAL smart....But the funny thing is that all he has to do is make like more than 1/60th of the roll he had and then I've got free money coming in. It's not like I'm staking him 10k this is 100 bucks. I staked 5 of you edit: 6 of you (basically strangers to me) for 10 bucks a piece and I didn't expect money back. Funny thing is that I expect money back this time Link to post Share on other sites
StrippersNBlow 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Let him off the hook after a reasonable amount of time. Make some money while getting him on his feet. Then let him go. If you think his br management is that bad, save a portion of your profit, then restake him when he goes busto again. Link to post Share on other sites
litlebullet 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I told him to cap it but he refused I might let him off eventually muahahahahahhahaha Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 1. stake people you know if it is expected to take days/weeks to pay.2. i'd be suspicious of anyone who agrees to kick back profits forever. it looks like they really don't expect to make much. 3. him dropping to 33% of himself enforces 2.

tskillz187 0 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Have you addressed the fact that you'll have no clue how he is doing daily? Can't he just lie? Seems stupid. Staking is usually a losing proposition but can be fun if you got a lot of extra money sitting around and aren't confident in your own game. I have staked and been staked many times and overall the staker has not profited, but the whole point to staking is to get a piece of the big score. Link to post Share on other sites

litlebullet 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 UPDATE DANNANANA Two weeks later- It was a scam I don't think I'll ever find him again lolz. Just for future reference in case this ever happens to anyone else, his screename on stars: fghanami and on AP it's bigeasyben. He had quite the convincing story I'm telling ya, but meh, I'm 19 and I'm naive... and I truly believe in karma at the end so I couldn't care less. Link to post Share on other sites
