1) The sweat/talent equity of the player should be accessed fairly and shouldn't be overstated. For a tournament I wouldn't do a deal with anyone as the staker giving more than 20% sweat equity to the player. I don't understand people who stake others for only 50% of the payout. They won't make a profit unless the player has over 100% ROI and even then this is a very high variance proposition.

It's easy to explain that one - the best tournament players have a much greater than 100% ROI. 500% is not unheard of, and when there's that much to go around a 50/50 split isn't unreasonable.
