    Just wondering how some of this works for live circuit players. If you are staking them for an EPT circuit events, wsop, wpt etc etc do ppl pay a portion of there expenses as well or is that totally up to the player....I know this could be different for all sorts of agreements, but what is the thing that generally happens?

    Usually the player gives up their online action to get staked live, which is a pretty huge commitment esp. after reading DN's last blog about how majority of people playing WPTs suck. Reduces backer risk to have the good player's online action etc.

    I think.

    I'd assume everyone pays their own expenses....and if the backer ended up paying them they would charge extra on top of that makeup, like some %.
