ive done some small-ball staking recently, but a friend of mine has offered me a 3 figure roll for a 500% ROI and i get 40% of it. 

what say the forum re:online staking?

    500% ROI and you only get 40%.

    Neons, i got offered similar a few months back, i wasnt ready for it and i knew that. However 500% is a big ask, and a long grind and your only getting 40%.

    If i where in your shoes id keep building up yourself.

    So for instance, £100 stake, if you do it you get £200 to yourself ?

    60% sounds better for you :)

    I've no idea what "the Forum" will say, but my line is simple. Don't do it. PLEASE.

    There are a 100 reasons I could list why you should not do this, & no doubt, 100 people would disagree.

    Just say no.

    If you want to stay friends then don't do it m8!!

    3 months ago I got a very good staking offer online but turned it down because it included some of my friends and I just could not play with their money - everything would be good when winning - but what happens if you run bad and end up losing the stake - where do you stand then? Always better to have your own BR and develop from there imo

    NO NO NO is the only answer you should be contemplating.

    a 3 figure stake certainly isn't big enough to command a 500% ROI in any case. Even a seasoned pro player would struggle to offer that sort of return.

    £100 +500% = £600 -£100 (Stake) x 0.60 = £300
    £500 +500% = £3000 -£500 (Stake) x 0.60 = £1500

    In the real world would you really want to borrow £100 from a loan company and pay £400 back? and if you borrow £500 your paying back £2000 - I think not.

    Give it a wide birth m8y and save up for your own bank roll.

    I've never been staked. I have stalked someone though.

    Rohypnol for the win.

    If someone wanted to stake me to play above my usual level, which is less than 1% of my br, i'd snap their hand off.

    Why wouldn't you? absolutely nothing to lose.....

    I know what ROI is but what is that figure relating to, a benchmark for when he can start seeing money himself?

    The way I see it is :
    If his mate stakes him £100 he has got to turn it into £600 before he see's a penny himself and if his mate stakes him £500 he's got to turn it into £3000 before he see's a penny himself.
