Stake
Most staking deals will involve make - up ( I stake a few players on other sites )
Make up will be if a player is in the negtive for you then he will be in a situation where he has to play his way out of the hole (On the backers money still)
For example -
night one you lose 500
night 2 you win 1000
You will not just split the 1000 down the middle. the backer will take the 500 losses from the previous night. that will leave you with 500 to split down the middle.
That is the only legitimate way for a backer to make money. it is a fair way but the backer will always be the one to provide funds.
A backer can pull out anytime where a player can not. if you are - £4000 you will have to make attempts to get out of makeup or agree a specific time range with the backer.
If it is just him putting up money and you get 50% he is dumb and even if you make money.... he will not long term.
