Im saying if he gives out anymore @arsenej1 he should get screenshoots and data of how his money is being used or not. Your screen shoots taken today mean nothing...but I was not asking you to post them..I was actually thinking you played RUSH, but if you played tourns,cash and SnGs then the data should show..perhaps lag..still nice win on sharkscope

I think BRM isnt a staking site, but if you still want to do this allways set your rules, its your money. I did some small offers with friends but i was allways very strict ''You want this? Ok, but only with my rules'', 50 buyin rule, 100 buyin rule even better.

unlucky arsenej1 .... thing is to decide what to play and stick to it .... changing to cash when things not going well is not the thing to do .. also work out how many buy ins you have eg $50 you could do $3.40 sng comfortable giving you a chance to build with around 15 games and move up if you hit a target figure say $100 and change to $5.50
I m slightly different im running well with staked money ... very strict with what i play .. my own money i have to be careful with as i tend to try a bit of everything
At the moment im running a $25 stake for one week ... i decided to use this to play $1.20 18,27,45 man games this gives me 20ish buy ins so no pressure on me as thats a lot of buy ins ... plus return on these games is very good if you cash
So far played 16 games ( a mixture of all but mostly 18m) cashed 7 bringing my $25 up to $42.80 .. looking to hit the $60 mark and try a few $3.40 but if i dont will just continue grinding the $1.20.
if you can force yourself to be strict and plan how to use staked money properly ... its a great source of money ... a never ending supply i think .....
As i said in my previous thread on staking i started with $2 stake ... have now gotten a $135 stake and a $82 stake and running this $25 now ... also ran the bap where a group of stakers gave me $150 i think to play with ......
So you see run these well and more keep coming. Anyway gl to all of you hope it goes well

I only see you making profit with every stake offer you made. Very well done. $1 to $6 multi SNG (18/27/45/90) are the same difficult level imo. I said this before and i guess you know this allready you can build your roll better using your own money starting with $1 and move up to $6 when ready.

ye doomdy ... i could probably build my roll now playing for myself .... my stakes have all been in profit .... not huge profit but still profit is profit ... playing these stakes has shown me that im a winning sng player ... But i have had down swings but managed to turn them back around ..
eg last stake for $82 i ran played $4.10 KO sng got it up to $148 then dropped back to $86 then managed to finish at $144.41 ...
This small stake im running now is a kinda testing ground for 18,27,45 man sng to see how i do in them ... played some $3.40 18 man with my own money over the last couple of months and got good results .... so figured id use this one to find out more .... so kinda getting a free opportunity to do this which is handy ... have to say found the $3.40 a bit easier than the $1.20 im doing.
will always be a part of staking though .... if i hit my target figure and start playing for myself i will still take stakes for mtt buy ins ... as the huge variance in mtts will be offset by doing this.
But as well as that i also get the chance to buy in to other peoples games some of which iv made profit on ... some losses on but has been very interesting ... and the potential to make money doing this is very good too as some of the players involved are very good ... so overall have to give staking 10 out of 10 and totally recommend it for anyone interested in it.

@Photolong: I've read your posts and they're quite interesting. Is there a particular staking site that you suggest or are they all more or less the same? It could be interesting for me too to stake players (if you say from your own experience that it's profitable) and also be staked.
One other thing I'm thinking is if staking other players can be seen as an actual profitable investment in the long run. Do you know people who had for example $2,000 starting capital and staked people through these stake sites and ended up getting some good profit every month? Hmm, that would be interesting...

Posted by arsenej1: donno it looks to me that um up lol i dont understand how i got -100roi but 200$ profit lol
you're ROI as your average return on investment. For a freeroll it's always 0.
I often get a positive ROI and a negative profit. Because on average, I make a good ROI. However, I may sometimes tilt and play big buyin games. So even though, on AVERAGE I get 10% back on my investment, overall, I lose, because of sometimes playing well above my limits. But within my limits, my actual ROI is more like 10-15% and outside my limits more like -20%
So if you have profit + $200 and ROI -100% it means you've done very bad on everything except a freeroll.

I dont think i can mention names here so im not going too ..... but the sites are easy to find google my name and you might find your way to the one im on, or find me on twitter.But if you do try staking and want to make money staking others you will need to look at what stakes they have done and made a profit in .... i see from where i am a few of the regular stakers seem to be happy staking others more for giving them a chance to play and not just for the opportunity to make profit from them.
