If stakees never play for me again then they dont owe me a dime, but if they do play for me again its pretty much the same thing as stake-back, only it accrues over time. This way a staker cant play lets say $50 worth of games for me n lose them all then win a game for say $100. He would then be up $50 n i would just be breaking even. With make-up, if the same situation occurs, stakee would pay back the $50 that he was staked previously, we would split the other $50 n we would both be up $25. Both up money, both happy, n the staker/stakee relationship goes on nice n smooth.
