Re: Why do people need backers?
[ QUOTE ]
HOWEVER, and this is quite an unpopular opinion here, most tournament players...even many so called "pros"....are not long term winning players. So they need backing because there is no way in the world they could finance their own entry fees.

I dont know about that, but I after reading El Diablo's thread about bustouts I guess the ones that need backing are gambling addicts that cant stop playing negative expectation games, such as craps, blackjack, etc.
Still it doesnt really answer why players that dont play those games need backing.
Maybe its general knowledge that everyone that is a big time tournament poker player plays those negative expectation games.
