Ok , so the session is ofer , initial stake 10 $ , total profit after 20 games 10,95 $. 60 % of 10,95 is 6.57 . Teddybear's profit is : 10 $ initial stake + 6,57 = 16,57$ My profit is : 4,38 $.
So not a bad session , considering both of us made a good profit . Thank you again teddybears , Sending your share right now.

If people wanna stake you good for you .. but you will most likely bust soon. I'm not saying that your a bad player by any means.. but it would make much more sense if you asked for something like atleast 50$ to 100$ to play the .50's .. the huge variance in those turbos will easily destroy 10BI's .. and fast.. no matter how good you are.
My post was a construtive one .. i didn't insulted you and i believe i have a fair point in my argument.
Anyways.. good luck?
Ok , sorry for the bad reply , I already got staked by teddybears 10 $ , and the staking session is over , bringing him a 16,57 $ return , so I guess it's not bad . I kind of agree with what u said , and variance did bit me in the ass more than a couple of times , but teddy staked me with 20 Bi's , so overall I think I managed to do a good job.

I think I am already late answering to this request, but still I would like to wish you the best of the luck. The truth is the staker has no guarantee on the money is offering you. You promise to play well but, what if things go wrong? What is the risk of the staker? 100%? Why running that risk, for someone we don’t know? What I’m going to write next may seem crazy, but it makes more sense: if you would be asking for higher amounts, so you could play SnG with higher buy-in, increasing the money you would be winning, the percentage for the staker would be much more pleasant. And this way you could even be talking about getting more than one staker. For example, each one would lend you $10 or $20 and you would be playing $5.50 buy-in games. It would make more sense to run that risk, although higher, than running for such low rate that could end messed up. And you should give some guarantees of restitution of a part of the money in case you lost. Maybe next time…

I understand your concerns , and all I can say is that i stated the facts in my first post , teddy was kind enough to give me a chance , and it paid off , I managed to bring him a 60 % profit , I don't think he cared that much about the money or profit , it was mostly about giving me a chance . And most importantly for me this is my first stake , and if the stake was higher , I wouldn't have had the funds to return in case I lost a higher stake , but considering I brought a 110% profit on this stake , this could be a good referance for future similiar situations , even maybe with higher stakes.

good evening Alex, i have just read your post and i would like to say very well done mate , you did what said you would and i got my money back and a bit of profit too,so thank you for that. i would like to point out that Alex only asked for $5 and i sent him $10 as i didn't think $5 was enough,also i was quite prepared to write it off as i didn't do this for the money (although it was nice getting what i did.) i just tried to help a fellow BRM'er and he is a regular, i'm glad to say it worked out for both of us. now i'm off to spend the money Alex won me.
