How long will take you tu pay back and with which interest?
Would you put ur account as collateral?
This account as collateral? No fucking way lol, poker has a lot of RnG involved and such (if I get staked I want it to be from a poker player so they understand the word variance).

Why dont u ask for a single loan and if u win a lot good luck to you.

I dont think is good that you come trying to envolve ppl to risk his money on gambling.

Just my opinion. ..
Don't remember asking for it. I've put up 2 invites to torrent sites as Collateral, should cover the amount.

@sickhouse, can you provide at least a collateral? Do you have some altcoins or "digital goods"?
Well all I got is

    BoostCoin

   BOST 2.43503795    

    LiteCoin

   LTC    0.00516298

Which is pretty much nothing :/.

Just came to think though, I do have torrent invites to Torrentleech and Waffles.FM (music only site), guess I can offer those as collateral?

You should borrow from those people then. I do however have my doubts that people are handing out no recourse loans to poker players. Doing so would be moronic.
How can you have your doubts after the links I just provided? Any poker player with experience will confirm that staking happens, and it happens frequently...
I have never heard of either of those sites so I am unable to determine how reliable information posted there. Additionally anyone can post anything they want on a forum.

I still don't see why you don't borrow from those people. 
Well then you don't know anything about poker - twoplustwo is the biggest poker forum around. Also read the post above the one you just quoted, he confirmed that people gets staked.

I am not aware of anyone who is lending fiat money to poker players.
Actually staking poker players is a normal thing and definitely more like an investment than a loan.

Fiat staking happens on sites like 2p2, chipmeup.com and for seals (bitcoin) there is http://sealsdeals.info . Most times staking deals are tournaments though since it's easier to track/agree on. I have personally staked many many bitcoins on the latter one on good players. With tournaments it's a bit easier, if buy-in is 0.01 BTC, I could stake someone for 0.005 BTC (half) for 45% total winnings. Obviously I would stake only good players with a good statistical ROI especially if there is that mark-up (not 1:1 value, 50% for 45%.) The reason why someone would want a stake even if he's good, is because you should have around 100 buy-ins since variance can be rough. So if a player "only" has 0.5 BTC it can be good to be staked for half the buyin at a 0.01 tourney.

That being said, I personally never fully-stake people (I think a decent player should have some bankroll) and I am not very confident it will be an EV+ situation here. I don't consider it as begging though.

edit: and like I said, I think the "promise" or goal of 150% is a bit vague/strange. Although I am mostly experienced with tournament staking so I am not sure what the best way is for cash game staking.

Why the hell would any lender want to do this? The potential loss is 100%, but the potential gain is 50%. I'd be better off even if I played foolishly myself.
I edited the OP to say that the sum can be discussed. Some people have much BTC, and wants to make people happy, not knowing poker themselves they may want to see their own money in play... Hell I don't know I've never understood why people stake in the first time.

But you can't get a no unless you ask.

If you are asking for money without the promise of returning anything of value then you are asking for a donation.

You are taking on zero risk as part of this "deal" if you win then you profit, if you lose then the "lender" takes all the losses.


People risk their own money when gambling. I am not aware of anyone who is lending fiat money to poker players.
I agree that I am taking zero risk, however if I win we both profits. Not aware of anyone lending money to poker players?
