12.6% markup?!?! Serious?

I believe my edge in limit games is more than that, but I"ve kept it down. It"s not actually a big mark-up if you look at other forums.
Anyway, I have seen staking threads on here with far bigger mark-ups than that, including several where the player was putting up nothing himself.
How much will I put you down for?

Agree with John here but there is nothing wrong with asking the question. John gave a good answer and stats to back it up in this case so markup represents good value. This is not always the case with staking threads and potential backers have every right to ask questions and I would like to see more of it personally.
Anyway good luck with this to everybody definitively a +EV offer

Totally agree with this. I think stakers should be questioning more than we have seen and I have no problem with Stu querying the mark-up.
One thing I meant to say to him was that you need to look at the likely return rather than the cost. This is my 4th staking thread (3 here, 1 on Blonde), mostly for WCOOP/SCOOP Stud & Draw, and I have given a return every time, so I would justify it by saying that the probability of you getting a return is higher than on a standard NLHE stake. If I put up a stake request for Holdem, I won"t be adding a mark-up of that amount. However, when Dan Owston put up a Holdem staking thread at 1.3, I was happy to snap it up because of his history of big results in that format.

My question was because I didn"t understand that 12 basically meant 1.2. That is obscene value for a man of John"s skills in these tournies, as he is proving already.
Gutted I couldn"t take any!!

Congrats on the 22nd place
Not like most people I have played Badugi before but only at a low limit, if i remember right stars has a low limit badugi game every night at 20:20 which is only a $2.20FL game but a good place to learn the game if you can stick it out on limit game.I have played it a handful of time and my best result in it was 2nd(152) $49.00 but this was back in Jan 09
Good Luck for the rest of the games and just wondering why people havent snapped up the rest of the 9.5% left.Are you adjusting the stake after every time a game is complete or is this not going to be harder to work out what everyone is getting action on or not?

If anyone wants to buy some of the remainder at any point, it will just be a case of dividing the remaining buy-ins by the original total. At present, the remaining buy-ins are $1,810, so 2665/1810 x 3000 = $2,037.52. 1% is $20.38.
