If you want to stake a cash pro pay him an hourly rate regardless of earn, with some sort of incentive plan built in. That's the only way I could see anyone agreeing to do it. I was staked in this manner for quite some time and loved it... Knowing that 10 hours of play will net you 2k or w/e regardless of how you run can be a very attractive deal.

Also, Kirk's thread is very good. Quite simply, there's a lot of players (including me) that would have a higher earn rate if they were completely fearless with respect to variance/bankroll.

I think players on a scheme like this could also become very complacent about the thought behind their play though. Why bother playing your A+++ game requiring an awful lot of concentration when you can make the same amount of money auto-piloting and watching TV/surfing 2+2 at the same time?
