Default a relatively basic question regarding the main event

1) If you were backing someone fully for the main event what % would you give them?

2) If you were fully backed for the main event what % would you want?

EDIT - one tourney deal

This is going to be a difficult question to answer.

Is this going to be a one tournament deal?

1) As little as possible

2) I'd gladly play for 0%

I'm disappointed that your basic question wasn't, "It folds to the SB on the VERY FIRST HAND of the ME and he goes ARR IN and you have POCKET ACES ZOMG."


1. Assuming I was fully rolled for such staking, I would give them 30%.

2. I would want 60 but would prob do it for anything under 80 [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

A lot of variables here (like who he is/what $10K is to me/him, etc.)

I'd offer him a sliding scale designed to encourage him playing correctly, something like 10% of first half-million and 40% of every thing above that.

I'd play it for a deal like that, too, or 20% flat.

what makes you believe that if someone you have backed wins a big amount will he give you that as you agreed? is any way to make a contract for that or something else? otherwise i think there is no way to get your money except if he is your brother and again i doubt....
