Hi there,I am european who was playing HUSNG on FTP. Now that all my founds are in "process" to transfer VIA Neteller and because I don't know how long it will take ( I requested funds on friday, and i am not very optimistic) I am looking for solution. My biggest mistake was that I used my FTP account as a bank so I Iiterally have no money in my pocket.Now I don't look for a staker or backer yet, ( I don't know the difference), but I look for information about how does that work ? ANY expirience would be welcome. How does it work, what is the difference between having a staker or backer ? What are % of spliting winnings, looses, how long does the deal go....First of all I must prove evidence that I am +EV player with sharkscope results, holdem manager results and stakes that I play; plan of playing for the future etc...If there on this forum was any good post about that thing then please post the link, thanks for your answeres, burek.sira
you will get your money from full tilt poker nothing to worry about there anyway
well, Ok even if i get money to my account right now, i still would like to now how staking works ?any1 any expirience......
I had been staked by one very well known pro from SnG comunity. He studied my sharkscope stats, we made an agreement about what stakes and room I will play, I signed the contract he transferred about 30 buy-ins to my account (which I made 0 dollars to simplify reports and calculations). Deal was to play at least 200 games per week and share any profit (including rakeback and bonuses) above starting capital on 50-50 basis. Every week I was sending a report with profit/loss figures as well as screenshots of my HEM graph and poker site cashier pages. Any week I had profits I sent half of them to staker and other half withdrawed for myself. Any week closed below starting balans I withdrawed nothing and next week I had to cover losses first to make some profit.
Flynn thank you very much for the answer !Well I have one more question - how long did your deal last, few weaks, few months...?Tnx again !
I played under contract about 3,5 months, then decided to switch from 9-man to HU. Staker offered me to play these games under contract too, but I had no experience in pure HU and felt like it is unfair to play new games with someone's money.
