Topic: Staking at Pokerstars (Read 2674 times)
Thank you. I will stop trying for the moment. Topic closed.
Good Luck getting a stake without providing your pokerstars player name.
Peace.
OPR, PTR, and Sharkscope tells people everything they need to know about your skill at poker.

No, I cannot prove that I'm a skilled player. And OPR stats, yes, are good argument I agree but I play poker occasionally and OPR stats says nothing.
Anyway, how many of you were actually interested in this and not looking just for another topic to be the "justice" guy? Did you really thought I was trying to scam anybody ? Or you were looking for someone else's back to stop him for making a bad investment? Come on ...

Looking to be staked in the poker world is common, yes, but asking for a stake or selling a % of your action without providing the screenname you will be playing under so that potential stakers can look up your stats on PTR or OPR or sharkscope is not a common practice.
Any previous staking deals with references or stakers to vouch for you? If not, GTFO

This is called a "stake" and very common thing in the poker world. Visit chipmeup.com for example. OP needs to actually be able to prove he can actually win at poker however.
What is your PokerStars screen name?
So you are asking to borrow other peoples money so you can go gamble it away?
that's exactly what he's doing
Guy with wallet address in his signature for begging, keep your comments somewhere else, maybe in the newbies area for the sake of posts count.
As for the other 2 fellas please do the same as the guy above.
I don't know who is Iamtheone, I'm rather new to the bitcoin currency and also in this community.
@Mlawrence As I told to bitcoinbear, when you play one game is gambling. You mistake roulette with poker.
you have a not so rare talent for offending people. I never begged for money and I don't intend to. I'm just stating the obvious here and agreeing with poster above. Chill out.
Also, what proof has the OP provided that he is a skilled player who has a better than average chance of winning?
Yes, players looking for stakes usually post proof that they are a winning player.I am not vouching for the OP, but rather defending the concept of poker staking as a whole.
Poker is a skill-based game over a large number of games.
In which money (or something of value) is gambled on the outcome.Not true - one can play poker just for fun.

Yes, it is common for poker player to acquire loans from others to enter tournaments with the repayment of the loan (along with any additional fee) contingent upon the player winning money in the gamble.How exactly does the fact that it's common for poker players to acquire loans so that they can gamble with money that belongs to someone else prove the opposite in this case?

This is an investment, is not gambling and is not loaning. I don't throw it all away in a single game of dices. I invest time and concentration in it to get the most out of it.
Playing poker is not an investment.
It is gambling - please move to the proper thread.That said, if the OP is a winning poker player, he probably should be able to bankroll low-stakes SNGs himself.

Gambling
gerund
1
a : playing a game for money or property
b : betting on an uncertain outcome
2 : staking something on a contingency : taking a chance
I'd say that poker is most certainly gambling. It is a game that you are playing for money or propery, you are betting on the outcome of dealt hands, you are staking money on a contingency of having the best hand, and you are taking a chance that someone else won't have a better hand (or that you can out wait the blind/ante).
On the "scammers" subject,
Guys if you treat everybody as scammers it can't be good.
The ones who have lended money and got scammed, they are grown-up people and they have assumed in a consciously way the risk of not getting their money back. So mind your own business!

This sounds once again like Iamtheone coming back to spin a new gamble scam to disappear with peoples btc.

Yea' yea' troll somewhere else.This isn't borrowing.
Right, it is not borrowing because you are not promising to pay any of it back. Why are you posting this in "Lending" instead of "Gambling"?
I don't like that specific section of the forum, but I posted there some directions to this topic also.

Oh, and you basically asked to be trolled by sticking that spammy looking post in "Securities". Get a clue, look at how all the other subjects are formatted, see how yours does not fit in?
Edited.
