Maybe put a line in your template asking people to justify any markup ?

I don"t think so...any responses are likely to get out of hand quite quickly.
At the end of the day the markup is a decision for each potential backer to accept....or not.

Good stuff Adam
I can"t see makeup being applied too much in this forum"s staking section. Most make-up agreements are long term and done in private.
Though horses, that have continually failed, may choose to pay long term backers all their money back, when they finally land a big one.

I can.
For example - Steve Roderick comes on and says he wants backing for Stars $2.50 turbo 180"s for a minimum of 6 months. He asks for a 200 buy in bankroll to grind these which is $500. He offers 60/40 with MU on the condition that we are happy to reload and that once he reaches $1k he can take shots at $8"s. When he gets to a set figure (example again - $1500) he carves up the $1k and begins again with $500.
(this is a really crap example by the way)
Easily a staking thread I could see on here and probably would be a thread a lot of us would invest in because most people would think that it is printing burning money!

Fixed for you - I am pretty sure said player has failed to cash in the last 24 180"s he has played and is nothing but a luckbox fish.

I think this a great venture for APAT however the mark ups are generally unrealistic. I would love to invest some £££ but doubt I"ll be buying at a premium when you can get similar mark ups on some of the best players in the country. I do understand that this may be more about community spirit.

As one of the senior members George, you should offer your thoughts when people post requests and I think you"ll find that mark ups will reduce to a sensible level as players become more knowledgeable.

When someone puts a request up it"s hard to say I think you"re overpriced without looking like a troll.
Maybe put a line in your template asking people to justify any markup ?

Yeh this. TBF it"s up to the market to decide. I really wouldn"t want to play bad guy on anyone"s thread. Obv I hope staking is hugely successful on APAT so no one cares about any mark up paid.
FWIW I would have loved to have got a licence and give APATers a chance to get some of my main event action but 1% of 9 milly was too much ;)

Hey I gave you a free shirt in September 2006 and that sucker"s got to be worth £4 or £5 today due to its uniqueness - first APAT exit and all - so you had a freebie AND a potential profit. I think you should put a little bit back on the table. ;)

Des,
Could you have a look at Marks and my stake requests to clarify how the APAT % works please.
Thanks
