Default Re: backing

The amazing fact is that backers give away their money so cheaply. In most hedge funds or PE scenarios - the player would usually get 20% max 30% of the gains and the backer/money would get 80%. Also, it is not uncommon for the player to have their own money invested side by side in the deal.

Nobody ever said gamblers were smart investors.
