APAT Staking Exchange - Discussion
Zozzy:
I am in favor of an APAT Staking Board.
There is a community spirit that already exists, so this will enhance it in my opinion.
I am always impressed by the admin and mods attitude to fairness and integrity. This was highlighted recently in the discussions surrounding regional teams competing in the National Online League.
With this in mind I am confident that the ground rules will be well thought out and implemented.
I am also aware that APAT won"t be held responsible in the unlikely event of default.

Ok I only read the first few pages, i"ll go back and read the rest after I get my tuppence in... I think staking has become a massive aspect of poker in the past year in both proffessional and amateur players. I think it"s a great idea to allow it without restricting it to non APAT tournies. As mentioned the community in APAT is strong and I wouldn"t forsee any issues between parties with the rules in the 2nd post in place. Also the staking or SAPs/BAPs may allow players to participate who wouldn"t normally afford to.
In reply to paulies initial thoughts, it"s an interesting point but I wouldn"t imagine any collusion or different play against a staked player in the same tourny as the stakee. I have came across this in a couple of tournies I have personally sold action for and have not felt my investors treated me any different at the tables. I think with the sense of community/competition between APAT members there would be no issues on that front. But maybe as a precaution it could be put in the rules that you guys running the show must be notified of any said parties involved with each other in the same tourny before it starts.
All in all my initial thought is yes, it"s a great idea.
On a side note... I manage another forum who allows free staking ads but charges a % of any winnings if any, i.e. 2-5%, to the forum which is then used by the forum to offer stakes for others or put on freerolls ect. ect.. Just a thought.
Sef:
Yep after reading the rest I pretty much agree with it all. It"s a private deal between players and investors and APAT cannot be held responsible for any disputes. A template contract type paragraph written up to go with the stake request should cover the legal side of things something like "I so&so promise to pay any winnings within x amount of time ect." but getting a bit ahead again. With the right ground rules in place it"s defo a winner. Oh and as for the post count thing it would need to strict on lesser known members I think.
