There are opportunities in "Staking" other players, but my question is Why would you want to? playing Poker is what I want to do, Taking part and feeling the excitement in every game I play, Trying to out-think your opponents, and getting the Adrenalin rush from an all-in situation.
Staking another player, you might as well go bet on a football game or Horse race.
There was a local game that came up and the buy-in for it was a little expensive for my Bankroll, but I was considering entering the game, When a couple of my Friends asked if I was going to enter, and I said I was thinking about it, but when they suggested Staking me in the game I said "Definitely not!".
I was not afraid of losing my money, but if I had been staked by them, I would not have felt happy losing theirs. So rather than risk their money I didn't play at all.
Playing with money that you cannot afford to lose, (scared money) is a sure way to get beaten, because it is always in the back of your mind that you should not be doing this.
