I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

Some of the pro's names are misspelled and a couple "pro's" listed are just poser's, that have never cashed live according to card player. Anyone can be listed for staking here??? Plus if you want to back players they don't have a way to yet??? They got some Huge pro's listed. Bogus? What's the skinny on this site

lol


Site seems legit.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

This site looks *very* fishy to say the least. If you even think about giving them any money, you are a sucker.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

But to become a backer you send all your info, but to fund a player is "coming soon" plus Gregg Merkow is "Murkow" and Steve "Texas" Justice has all these wins listed and he doesn't even exist in Card Players data base. Todd Brunson needs backing?? No way.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

fwiw, I saw a few of the oldschool live "pros" wearing hats with this site during the wsop.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

that looks really legit.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

it appears to be real but i'm not quite sure what to make of it/are the funds are there etc., however i'm told "there are a lot of investors" and that it launches aug 15.

its real, i sat and played with the owner/creator/ whatever in the main event... either way seems hilarious and awesome

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

Hope Maria has nothing to do with this.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

If you want you can send me the money instead. I will burn 80% of it and send you the video, it probably makes more sense than this website.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

Totally bogus. No way this is real .... ignoring the obvious crappy webpage and spelling mistakes.... they stole many of the pictures off of cardplayer.com.


But don't let that stop you =p

Backing is not always about need.

I HOPE I CAN BACK BRANDI!!!!!!!1111!!!

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

If it has alot of investors I would hope they could get some money for a better website.

I am playing golf this afternoon with one of the guys listed on there who travels the tourney circuit on his own dime, see what he has to say about it.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

wow, the site takes 5% rake for this off the winnings

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

some of these stake deals turn out to be surprisingly decent. JC Tran's worth 300% for sure.

most of them, though...not so much.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

im gonna stake amir vahedi for sure.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

LOL ellix powers

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

Given the rates of return 50 plus % for the pro with 5% to the site and the rest for the backers, its a pretty good deal for the pros. Given that it is almost impossible to show a profit at tourneys without a win or several top 3 finishes, this would make those 2-4x buyin finishes very profitable for the pros. Pro plays 10 10K events, cashes in 3 for a total of 60K, under this deal he comes out 30K ahead, whereas if he buys in, he is a 40K loser.
Looks like a loser for the backer unless there is makeup then payout, but that does not appear to be the case.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

I knew Moneymaker had to be on this site. lol

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

it's been said already, but a lot of the old guys were walking around the rio with clothing promoting this site during the series. i'm pretty sure dennis perry is the mastermind of this whole thing.

if i wasn't so busto myself i can tell you this, i'd be throwing money at them!!!!!!!!!!!11

So let's say 10000 people stake a single person to win. There would be more money in it for him if he loses right?

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

I like Justin West. In his picture he's wearing a bracelet, but he has no lifetime tournament winnings. I am definitely staking him...he's gotta be hungry to get that thing back on his rest.

Re: I can stake these Pro\'s??? Bogus???
 

looks like another douchebag scam. terrible deal for the staker unless there's makeup. don't be an idiot.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Steve "Texas" Justice has been playing poker since 2003. I got the name "Texas" because I always wear Texas Longhorn jerseys at the table. I stumbled into the poker at a friends home game. The next day I was hooked. I turned pro in 2006 and began playing cash games and tournaments full time in Oklahoma and Louisiana casinos. In 2007, I began traveling to larger tournaments in Las Vegas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. I finished 24th at the 2006 Red River Roundup with over 600 entries. Notables were Greg Raymer and David Williams. I finished 1st at the 2007 Winstar Casino March Tournament. I finished 4th at the Choctaw WSOP Finals in Durant. I finished 40th at the 2007 $330NL Scotty Nguyen Challenge III with 390 entries(was chip leader most of day) . Total large wins are $12,500.

I have several near misses-2007

Bellagio $1000 Tournament 16th
2007 Horseshoe WSOP Seat Tournament -16th,
2007 Choctaw Casino WSOP Seat-10th

Glad dude posted he came 16th in a Super Sat.

Tuco.
