I learned this the hard way and got screwed by a seasoned member on this site
If you loan points or poker money to another, make sure you have the terms layed out up front
and put it in writing in market and use Escrow.
If you do that you should be fine :cool:
how do u use escrow in a loan though?
or maybe learn about staking and being staked and the terms of staking...
i never ever ask for a loan cause its not high class, so dont ever ask me for one.
How do players normally stake on here?Quote:

when it comes to staking know what ure doing...if the terms of the stake are clear and BOTH parties know what they are doing nothing can go majorly wrong its a risk and some risks dont pay off
@azreal1 this is good advice. In my case I was promised my stake amount back to me if he stakee did not cash. I was also promised that the stakee would play a bunch of small tourneys and send me screen shots of all.
Neither of these were provided to me and I had to track the stakee down and inquire and was sent 1 screen shot.
Bottom line is I am out 300 Seals chips (200) of what we agreed would be paid back to me and that comes to $ 121.39 x .2 = $24.28 usd in real time that I am out for trying to do one of po's members a favor. He hit me in bubble chat out of the blue asking if I would stake and I did not know him from Leroy!
Just saying watch out or consult with others on the proper way to do a stake if you are new.
wow its really a shame what some people will stoop too... what people will do just to stay in action over a few bucks. grind freerolls like the rest of us
yea ply that is true. gambling can be an addiction like many other addictions.
These people will sell their mama for a $2 SNG ..lol
if you need to be staked or take out a loan ...you gotta ask yourself .can i afford to play poker and do i have a problem
If I was looking to be staked what is the best way to go about it?

yo pay up!!! bottom line if the kid didnt make it full understandable the staker had even said he would pay it back...regardless right or wrong....he was told he would be payed back...now payment dont wanna be paid bc he keeps asking for it? thats crap...if he fucked up and he wasnt suppose to get stakeback or is he was.....doesnt matter....the person willing stated in thread he would be paid back....
but ffs though...u are annoying aobut the stake.....you apparently wanted to try n make extra cash for urself and the other person....it didnt work out...move on....dont fuck wit the person again....stop making dumbass threads...they are annoying...but regardless of the matter....to show good faith staker pays up since he said he would after...he coulda simply said noooooooo nooooo and stuck wit it but didnt for w.e reason and thats that.....cant flip flop n say 1 day ur paying then the next ur not....why u dont fuck wit people do ur own thing
i send out disclaimers b.c people tend to take shit the wrong way....its reality..
***highly stresss this isnt to fuck with either party*****
Not fucking with me lol I agreed to MAKE UP, people please research the term, it is not slang, like he tried to accuse me of using "po slang" lol, MAKE UP is make up, period. The best advice on this thread is KNOW about staking and what you getting into, and the terms etc.Quote:

And yes its obviously hes butt hurt I didnt bink one and just boost his roll like he planned and how I planned but it happens. But yes put it in writing is a good idea.
And i didnt decide to just say fuck it and not pay him at all because of the threads or anything, it was the behind the scene name calling and trashing my name and things he would say that was disrespectful, so I have moved on instead of dealing with his childish remarks to me.
And i have done stakes etc. with alot of members with no problems, this is why you dont fuck with newbs who is confused.
someone lend me 200 points for 50 back?
