APAT Staking Exchange - Discussion
Fluence:
In principle I think staking here would be a good thing.
SirPercival:
I have staked APAT players in the past and also been staked myself. (The former being more profitable than the latter :( )
I think having a board on here would only add to the existing APAT spirit.
The Blonde community have the experience of the Blatch case. Did this have a negative effect on Blonde? I personally dont think it did I"m not really in a position to say. APAT do need to consider the risk of damage to the brand but I think it is minimal bearing in mind the Blatch thing wasn"t really even about poker. My thought would be stick to poker stakes only and lets not get out of hand with other type stakes.
Honeybadg:
Has to be a good idea ...
... I have staked a few people for NIL return!
I have also been staked for NIL return.
Staked players play weird(er) - hence encourage the market - then look to profit from the weird play ...
Alt - buy lottery tickets.

Swinebag:
I like this idea. I stake a fair bit and sell the odd slice now and then as well. It would be great for the APAT community and would create some excellent sweats.
Jason makes a good point about post count. IMO anyone should be allowed to put up a staking request. If its some chancer with 2 posts wanting $10K for the WSOP then the silence on that thread will speak volumes. Conversely, "known" players will get staked by people they know, no matter how much they contribute to the forum.
Obviously people with less posts may have difficulty selling out but they should not be discouraged from asking

I think its a great idea. I joined the blonde site when searching for staking possibilities but felt I would never reach the required targets before being able to apply for staking! However, with APAT I would feel confident in staking members. I don"t know many members that well to be honest and when I have played live APAT events I"ve probably walked straight past people who I"ve had conversations with online (this is probably my own fault for not being bold enough to introduce myself!) despite this I would still stake them.
I would also like to think that other members would have confidence in me!
As far as who should/shouldn"t be allowed to offer stakes my thoughts are that a member should have at least 419 posts ;)
Seriously though, I think there should be a minimum but nothing out of reach of new/occasional members. As someone said in an earlier post "If its some chancer with 2 posts wanting $10K for the WSOP then the silence on that thread will speak volumes. Conversely, "known" players will get staked by people they know, no matter how much they contribute to the forum."
