Re: Taking a shot at mid-stakes
Missing the point. I didn't say "Leader is a slimeball and will probably play like a spew hoping to run it up on a freeroll" I said the structure promotes this. There are lots of ways to structure a stake that doesn't do this. A very simple example is that (assuming you play 5/10 now) you play 10/20 and Veganmav takes half your action. If you need initial money to play you borrow it from him. Your hourly rate drops a bit because your edge is probably bigger at 5/10 but you gain the experience, Veganmav's profit/incentive is obvious, and you share the risk.
Any staking deal is better for the backer than the horse because the horse could probably achieve the same hourly at a lower limit unless he is totally busto. If you want to do the deal to gain mid limit experience than you sacrifice the hourly in order to do that. Maybe we need to understand the motivations of you both in order to structure it better.
