Poker Staking - Stake A Shark

Hi

When SaS members leave feedback for stakers/horses I think it would be better to have a little history with them before doing so.
ex...

I have staked/been staked with player K a few times already, say a minimum of 7 times already we have transactions between us and so far so good, so now I leave feedback rating if I would like to.
Leaving feedback rating right away after 1 or 3 stakes doesn't really accomplish this.

For BAP I was thinking since there is always a risk for a rolled BAP, why not have the SaS member who is selling his/her BAP transfer like %40-%50 of the total BAP pool to a SaS authority before the BAP sells.
Once the BAP is completed regardless if there is profits or not and all investors are shipped accordingly then a SaS authority can transfer back the %40-%50 of the BAP to the seller. It will be like collateral for secure/trust purposes.

I don't think you could apply the above to non BAP stakes since the amounts are small contrasted to a BAP amount.

Also a statistic of how much a SaS member has invested overtime in BAP's would be nice, like adding it to the staker points column.

I wanted to leave some feedback on this, let me all know what you think.

thanks

Good post plenty of very good points.

Im as guilty as most for giving rep points after one Stake/BaP but If they run well for me i think they deserve it. Most are genuine and the rep point helps them to get of the ground. Its still investors responsibility to research players and this must always be the case regardless of rep points.. Ive seen players with 20+ rep do a roll as well as new members with 3 or 4..


I like the idea of new members sending part if not all of there BaP bankroll as collateral as it does indeed give peace of mind to investors (In the short term).. I did this with Rushton a few weeks back and everything went very smoothly.

Rolling is something we will never be able to eliminate but measures like this could seriously reduce the risk in the short term but even then it could just be postponing the inevitable. IF there planning a scam its better to catch em early than once they are established..

One way of thinking about this is:
Which would you rather have happen. A player roll on his first BaP or once he has established trust and rolls for what could be substantially more?

Good post though mate.. Good to see ya care
