I'd also like to point out one thing to those who have suggested that the backer is getting raped in this deal. I think this is far from the case if you consider that the backer has played many hours of poker with riverboatking, enough that he is convinced that rbk is a favorite over the games he wants to back him in. He also has a crapload of money and likes to gamble. Basically, if he is certain that rbk is a long term winning player, he is getting a great deal being the banker. He makes a lot of money without doing anything, so we shouldn't feel sorry for him and rbk should not feel bad about taking advantage of this deal. Just my opinion.
