The bulk of the people looking for stakes will play anything. There are a few that want to play tournaments of a specific buyin or higher, but in general, the system should be suited for people that just want to play.

At lunch so brainstorming a lil. #1 very basic stake/ stake request, should be handled by what we're doing #2 this one the ticker should handle imo, lot of wasted threads that go nowhere otherwise. #3 Very similar to #1 in setup theres a couple of thing i did on my site to help, a form that made everyones first rail post similar, with an update bankroll function that kept it clean. Will take a lil longer to do this example, but to show the possibilities:

Question is how detailed do we really want to do this, since this is not the main revenue stream for the site, I don't want it overpowering anything

@s810car, I know you say sharkscope and OPR are not really relevant, however, if this site becomes a good staking site, there will be LOTS of non american players joining, and them players, will be playing Stars, FTP and Party... which are all tracked by them 2.

For US based only, I agree they are not needed, but for others like me ( And others ) , Sharkscope and OPR links give us some good stats to look at, without the possibility of it being tampered with...

The other thing is my mock up won't have the feedback part implemented as I'm not going to mock up a whole marketplace section, this can be integrated into it once zab approves of the setup

More than standard for Horse who is asking for stakes to mark percentage he is willing to play for....and then change it if potential staker requests...

As far as the ss opr etc. i get that, just we don't need to have it track or dynamically link, a simple manual field the player can post his link will suffice, it's up to the staker to demand it and stakee to use it to be useful. For players putting their own cut requests, i still find that crazy, only the highest pros can name their price, and best they'll see if so is 40/60 in their favor, which is super rare, but I'll think about a suggested cut value

Wow, this thread is too smart for me, you dudes deep in this.

When you get all the ideas that you want.. Consolidate them all into 1 final outline.

Also, as I understand it Sharkscope doesn't work for BCP tournaments? Too bad, I just worked out a deal with them
