Request: info about staking agreements

[bobman0330]

I'm writing an article about why staking agreements are structured the way they are and whether there's a more efficient way to design them. In pursuit of that end, I'd love to hear the details (no names please) of any sizeable agreements you've been a part of in the past. I'd be particularly interested in deals that were of especially long duration or which you felt were structured abnormally. The reasons you had for setting up the deal this way would be great.

What's in it for you? From my research so far, it seems like a lot of people set up stakes without considering the problems and costs that might arise. For anyone who's interested, I'd be delighted to offer suggestions about how your particular deal might be better structured, or how you might work around a specific problem. I'm also going to ask a professor (worked on VC deals in Silicon Valley, teaches a class on deal-structuring at Stanford) to look over my article, so he might also offer some insight.

PM me if interested.

Thanks.

I currently have a staking deal with 2 players.

I give them a 5/10 bankroll, and I get all of their rakeback. When/if they double the amount I gave them, they pay me back the initial bankroll, and the staking deal is over.

i currently have a deal with someone who takes 1/3 of my action (covers 1/3 of my losses and takes 1/3 of my wins.) THis will go until my roll is big enough to where i am comfy on my own. i simply record each session. not much thought has gone into it, as i wouldn't cheat him and he knows it. it's a win-win sutuation.

um, why don't you just play 1/3 lower stakes?

I would think it is becasue you get more experience at a higher level, without as much risk, somewhat speeding up the process of moving up in stakes.

I think I know about this and its live play that is super soft thats why. It would be silly to drop 1/3 at the game he is talking about.

Hard to find a game lower than 1-3 Limit. TG for Turning Stone offering this.
