Online Poker Staking Sites

Why are these not popping up everywhere?

I assume fish would go nuts trying to get a stake to play ... The ones that don't deposit anymore at least.

Anyone have any input on this ?

And if the fish loses? I think staking a bunch of anoymous fish would be -EV.

You obviously have not been to a staking site.

You're right but I decided to check one out after your accusation. I guess I took your question the wrong way...I think it would be kind of exciting staking a bunch of people for $1-$5 shares, it would be similar to scratch tickets.

I was actually thinking about this today. The only way it could be done would be if stakers controlled the accounts the players played on, i.e. have an agreement with the site itself.

if you applied proper br management with structures in place to prevent someone chip dumping their entire roll, then it could be possible.

the only problem here is the classic one of adverse selection. trying to establish who were the good players and who were the bad players would be hard. i just googled 'staking poker' and it looked like a load of people wanting staking for microstakes, not worth the time imo.

staking should be left to people you know/trust are winning players, not some random on the internet.
