APAT Staking Exchange - Discussion
calella:
Interesting topic and even though i"m new to the forum and it"s my first post then i think it"s a very good idea to have a staking thread.
I use other forums and having decided to play next week"s Genting Poker Series game in Edinburgh thought I would post a staking thread and was delighted to get 50% backing which will i think improve my focus on the game.
Anyway, enjoying the site and look forward to playing in the Scottish game in October.

All people should be staked via BANK TRANSFER only. By doing this if there is a problem you have more rights. If done via stars etc you do not have a leg to stand on.

Disagree with this. If you are concerned then you can make it clear in the stake that you will only accept bank transfer.

Then there is the question of markups...?.....
Again getting way ahead.I was thinking of some kind of uniformity to keep in line with the apat ethos...
But for another time that debate

Uniformity in staking appears to be difficult. I think the idea is APAT provide an area on the forum to stake players / get staked rather than actually deciding the rules each stake must follow (except obvious groundrules).

I only say this just incase there is a dispute etc. By accepting the money in your bank your agreeing to the terms. If done via stars etc there is no legal obligation
pokerpops:
Good idea and should be allowed to include selling bits of "added value" seats.
The risk of being grimmed is lower in a community such as APAT where the majority of people know each other from real life meetings.
The only issue I would have is the tendency for staking threads to occasionally drift into argumentative mode when questions are raised over whether markups are set at an appropriate level...

Agree with this. I would be in favour of a reasonably strict post count required to request staking - when 2+2 went down The Hendon Mob forum picked up a few requests from randoms and it didn"t quite feel right. Regardless of that I think it"d best to encourage people to be involved in the forum anyway.

I was actually discussing this at the weekend and while we thought it a good idea we could see why APAT were not doing it.
IMHO it would definitely enhance the forum, and those who don"t want to get involved don"t have to.
ps not sure about the minimum 300 posts thing, this could well see me adding nothing to threads while randomly throwing in a "This" or "+1" or "LOL"
