i responded to this thread that im not backed and then someone PM'd me offering me a rediculous staking deal that i just couldnt say no to

I'm not backed...have no intention to ever be backed...and probably not the skill anyway....

But the most common tale is that someone looking to invest will find you if you're putting up consistently great results. Or a friend with a lot more cash than you will start you off.

For the most part, if you have to recruit someone, you're not the best candidate to invest in from the backer's perspective.

Results, references, and facts.

let me know when u figure it out. me me me me

results, refs, results, refs... thats it... I used to have a stable of 6 horses and it was good for a while.. to each is own

Ok I get it I dont have sik scores or a bunch of online friends ( which I do ).....Or at least thats what your implying N82 .. I have made over 20k in 2 years playing an mtt here and there. I just cant play the volume needed to be consistent. I also have 35k in live cashes also I just have a family, So its hard to keep a bankroll when I know the money can better our life. also this post was to hear how some of the higher volume players got inot backing , not a way to down my " references or stats

I mean shouldnt someone be stalking girls in online poker forums?

Ill take any offers at this point.

I haven't looked at your stats, I'm talking about the average person looking for staking. A lot of smart stakers also won't stake someone who has a family because if the person goes on a life downswing it is generally assumed that the person will be willing to siphon money off of the stake to help out their family. This has happened numerous times with people who were, otherwise, trustworthy stakees. Lastly, there's no reason to take a chance with someone who hasn't played much when there are a ton of players out there who have a very solid tournament record and have blown their rolls on cash games or pit games -- those are generally the best players to stake assuming they are trustworthy to follow the rules.

[nvm @ this part]

I had an offer to be staked a year ago around this time as i have the time to play anyday and no family commitments, I was doing pretty well for myself playing low to midstakes and figured i didn't wanna give up half my equity to continue to just play the same stakes......the way its been going this year (don't move to bad beats) i wish i had signed up to take said deal...sigh

Because of a different website that I run, I know a lot of the biggest online stakers and talk to them about this stuff a fair amount. This is absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, a major factor for them when deciding to stake someone. That isn't to say that someone with a family isn't stakable, but it decreases the attractiveness of the stake opportunity by a significant amount.

If your 5-year-old daughter gets diagnosed with leukemia (or insert any number of other expensive family emergencies here) and you're forced to make a choice between letting her die without treatment and stealing from your backer, that's not even a choice. You'll tell yourself that you'll pay him back, and you'll use the money. People without families run into those kind of choices far, far less frequently. It's just sound business.

This.

Started off being staked...it was interesting to say the least. Now I play on my own roll and stake another player. I like it and hope to continue adding horses but it seems difficult to find a solid player that one can trust. Very unlikely I'd stake someone I didn't know in real life (i.e. know where they live ;) )

Staking websites ftw.
