Wow so sick. I'd have sent you - a stranger - $55, thanked you for the loan, and been on my way. My word might be worth something, but not $100k.

I suppose I'd be worried about you hiring lawyers or getting Stars to confiscate the money, or something. I guess I'd have found out if you lived in the same country or not, first.

Shocking Jim, you always seemed like a stand-up guy?!?!?

Jimm, it wouldn't be hard to track you down considering I know you play at gutshot sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hehe, just speculating. $100k is a lot. I would feel that it was kind of sick that just lending me $55 had earned someone $100k. Of course, I wouldn't have been able to play without it, and wouldn't have got $40k for myself, but I'd forget about that and just get mad about losing most of my win.

I think I wouldn't agree to a 70/30 split in the first place, if I knew I'd be upset if I won and had to give most of it away. From OP's point of view, 90%+ of the people he stakes probably won't cash, so you can see why he wants a higher % split, especially when he's making deals with strangers. But for the player who's won, you can see why he'd be unhappy.

You know, actually, here's what I'd do if, unlikely though it is, I'd won the $140k. I'd ask OP for his phone number and call him up. If he lived anywhere nearby, I'd arrange to meet. And I'd propose a new deal. I'd say sure, we agreed 70/30, but really neither you nor I had any expectation that I'd win. And, frankly, $100k is too much for me to give you just for loaning me $55, when I did all the hard work. I'm prepared to give you $50,000. You can like it or lump it.

It is like Jamie Gold all over again!

I never play tournaments and, er, never win, so this situation would never happen to me.

But that's why I said the guy being staked should find out where you live before deciding whether he can welch on you or not!

I think if I was OP and was given the 70% split - I'd be tempted to give some back to winner...but nonetheless I think this is the corect way to do deals and LuckyJimm..shows that some peoples words are not their bond !
