    HI Don,

    I'm new as you know, but in terms of actual cash what does staking you mean and how does it work?
    If this is a question I shouldn't ask just say so!

    Staking it basically means theu give me a % of the buy in of the tourny. and depending on the deal they get a % back of any winnings.

    as ive agreed a 1:1 deal here if they buy 10% any winnings i get they get 10% of back.

    So its like a gamble.

    Very easy.

    In this instance people are gonna pay Don 10pc of the BI to get 10pc of his action. 

    So in this instance the BI is £110 they will pay £11 for that action and if Don cashes/comes first then Don will ship them back 10pc of the prize money.  If Don doesnt cash then obv they have nothing.  Its very common in poker and is used to combat variance.

    Other times people will simply swap action, so if me and Don were in the same SPT and decided to swap 10pc then if either of us cashed then we would still get some money. 

    A full staking deal is a little more complex and ususally means that a backer will pay the full buy in for the event, you play and if you cash then the money is usually 60/40 in the backers favour.
