Default Re: being bankrolled

[ QUOTE ]
If you are an established +EV player and your backer realizes this, I think you could probably negotiate your way to a 55/45 or a 60/40 deal. Obviously that's after paying back the initial backing.

I've read at different places this is how many established tournament players are backed in the big tournaments with a 60/40 split for the player. Not sure how it would work in cash games.

I agree with the above poster though, if you are a strong player why not just build up your own bankroll and keep your profits?

I've never heard of this been done before so forgive me if my reply is stupid [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. But after the initial backing has been paid back a 60/40 split doesn't seem that fair. I mean you have already paid of the initial investment so anything he gets from now on is just profit and giving 40% away for someone who is no longer doing anything seems a lot?
