I would love to get staked - save me spending so much time on satellites. But Blonde requires 300 posts before you can request staking - so I could join & maybe get staked in about two years time. What"s the point?
The 300 posts rule applies to staking between members.
Blonde however run the SAS scheme wich is completely separate and is open to all members regardless of post count.
Entry requirement is as low as break even @ 6k hands at your chosen cash level or 200 sng`s. You will then be staked at the level Above the one you qualified at.
What he said.
The SAS scheme doesn"t even require membership of the blonde forum (although you might have to sign up to contact them about your interest for the scheme).
For recreational players like myself, it"s ideal. I get to play at a level that my own bankroll wouldn"t allow, and I get to play without "playing scared" with money that I can"t really afford to lose.
The reason APAT wouldn"t get involved in something like this is the size of the investment required. If there are say 50 people receiving staking at .50/1 cash games, what sort of "bankroll" would APAT need to provide to get those players going? £1,000 each for starters? That"s £50,000 invested with no guarantee of any return (although you"d hope there"d be some).
