stinky,

"what's to stop a player from getting a new backer and skipping out on the "makeup"?"

That happens.

okay, next question:

say a player owes $150k in makeup. obviously he needs to win or come close to making any money. this changes his optimal strategy A LOT. probably to the point that the optimal strategy for him is no longer +EV for the backer. how do they deal with problems like this?
