    I never have been backed/staked before but now I found someone. He shipped me 111 dollars on stars to play 2$ 180's 3$ 45's and 4$ 180's. How should the deal work out? I am asking people who have been backed before. The deal is 50/50 with cake. Will someone explain to me this whole deal? (can't talk to backer... vacation)

    If someone could aim me at dmoney6660 that would probably be better because I have plenty of questions.

    I'm not being a dick here, but you should make agreements as clear as possible before you jump into a backing deal. Plenty of friendships/business relationships have fell through bc one side had different expectations than the other.

    to be honest.

    I wouldn't play until the deal was ironed out. Even if you have to not play for a week.

    I would then tell him you expect the deal to be 50/50 after the stakeback.

    I just want to know how this all works! Like I said, I've never been backed before, whats normal and what deals are shitty and stuff like that. Like what happens if I get my br up to like 400? When does it stop (if ever)? What am I shipping to backer?

    Well first you should let whoever is backing you not to make up arbitrary numbers about what he thinks you should be rolled for. I feel this is a level like people that end every bet in 999, etc.
