I like Justin West. In his picture he's wearing a bracelet, but he has no lifetime tournament winnings. I am definitely staking him...he's gotta be hungry to get that thing back on his rest.

Justin is a tournament reporter for PokerPages

I know. Awesome. Can't wait to stake him all the time.

So let's say 10000 people stake a single person to win. There would be more money in it for him if he loses right?

It could be like drilling a "dry hole" in an oil well venture or producing a "must fail" broadway play. Overselling interests fails for the seller if he hits an unexpected win. lol

Seriously, who pays player expenses of travel, lodging, meals, entertainment, "meds", etc.?

Dutch's bracelet on Justin's wrist.

Kenna actually told me about this site over a drunken campfire conversation one night, but I know no other details. Pretty sick deal for the player if there's no make-up!

With some of these pros cut, and presumably no stakeback, aren't most of these deals -ev? In which case, couldn't someone set something like this up where you basically virtually stake the pros. Getting the proper percentage of winnings, but the site takes the losing stakes as profit?

I guess a little more evidence that the pros many think are doing so well financially are in fact not as wealthy as they would lead you to believe.

Obviously the only winner in this scheme is the website who gets paid on both sides.
