If you really wanna play the main event so badly and never played it then i really dont get why you would charge markup for it, i mean your funny and all but idk about charging markup the first time you play the 10k main event, lets hope it works out for the people who stake you but i figure it wont 😢
@@JohnnyAppleseed-yl6fo Any stake you buy costs 15% more. So if you want to buy a 10% stake, you have to pay 11.5% of the buyin. Strong players charge markup, because they're worth the investment. 15% is a pretty significant markup.
This isn't an additional lmao, and I'm sure drug addicts lend money to other drug addicts all. Edit: Wait actually drug addicts do exactly this, they'll pool together money to get a better rate then split the drugs they buy.
Holy false equivalence Batman! Nothing good comes from meth, or other hard drugs like that. There is a possible upside when staking someone in a tournament. I think the best case right now for that is Jeremy Becker in the WSOP. I'm sure there are plenty of others, especially those who were staked in the recent $250K, and made money. There is always risk, but at least it's just money, not your life.
Nice try Greg but this is like giving money to make a wish. No matter how much fun it brings you, it will not last very long and everyone will look back on it quite sadly.
@@CN86443 true, but he is asking people money to fulfill his own dream. early rampage did this and his community had trust in him cause he actually showed volume and was good (before rampunts); unfortunately, though greg studies, it's fairly clearly he's nowhere close to being able to play solid at the main event.
Today I learned taking a child with cancer to Disney is a waste of money. Man.. Money exists to be spent if you only ever spend on bread and water you aren't going to be happy when you realise dead rich people are as dead as dead poor people.
I offered to stake a friend of mine who is playing in the WSOP right now. He declined, as he has enough money to do it himself. It would be fun to have an additional reason to root for him. If I were in his shoes, I'd do that for fun. Something about having some people financially invested in you winning. Seems like good karma.
@@tommyguns9008 I don't know you, plus no Hendon Mob, nor Sharkscope (with the same handle you got here). The 1st one being the most important though, so don't bother trying to post credentials.
@@TaipanPete Well, he just busted out of the Mini Main Event yesterday in level 18. I forget when he busted out of Colossus (maybe closer to level 12?). No idea what his Hendon Mob looks like. Never cared to look. I know he does very well at our local casino, basically earning a 2nd income there, mostly in cash games.
@@chrischavez6780 alot of people get staked for the main, it really isn't that unusual and he was only selling 30%. Anyone that was actually interested in backing him wouldn't even care about the mark-up so ur getting upset about something that has nothing to do with you...
@chrischavez6780 staking is standard practice and its actually a reflection of his honesty and bankroll management. You would need a lot of buyins to play the main event responsibly and it's a 10k buyin.
Greg. I want to really calmly communicate that I've bought your merch before, I'm even the kind of degenerate who promises you a $100 donation if you can flip Aces full off a shuffled deck in three tries on a livestream and then follows through on it, and not even I can give myself a good feeling on staking you with a 15% markup. Given it's something you'd be doing anyway, that you will be getting content out of it, and that you aren't a seasoned tournament crusher, it feels really high. I guess it worked out though! I hope you have a good run and can make all your donors their money back.
There was a guy from Belize (I think) in 2011, called "Bounarah" (or so, I'm quoting from memory here), who final tabled in 2011's main event and his favorite hand was 7,2o 😅
Isn’t this the guy that literally cried after losing a couple buy ins at a meetup game against regular people? Yeah I’ll pass. P.S. Markup at all for this is crazy btw Greg
A better dinamic could also be stream in twitch a lower buy-in tournament where you can play more comfortable and also all your fans could watch you :D
Interesting proposal but a high roller tournament is too much for your level, everyone at the table knows what's they're doing and playing with fear because the shooting is gonna cost you a lot of spots
Wanna stake me for the main event? I have won a few tournaments of 2-300 players and final tabled a couple tournaments with 5000+, so I sort of know what I’m doing.
Bro thinks he can sell a 15% markup. And he did. My only criticism is that given how much demand there was, he should have charged more. He’s an entertainer and should be compensated accordingly.
I still like Greg but lost a ton of respect, dude thinks he is a poker God - just the way he talks about poker (even when in hands) is cringy - like someone who just learned advanced poker strategy and is trying to show off
Why is everyone roasting him for charging a mark up? If you don’t think the markup is justified, don’t buy it. I don’t think a purse is worth $20,000, but I don’t get upset. Let the market determine what he’s worth. Based on the fact that he sold out quickly, I’d say he priced it far below what the market said it was worth.
Because it is taking advantage of people - look his audience has a lot of new or rec players so they don't even know what it is. It's like when a telemarketer sells something useless or overpriced to the elderly - they don't know any better and play off their emotions
@@jimbojones9118 the website clearly says “markup”. I’m not sure how anyone could misunderstand that. And Greg isn’t a pro, no markup would be similarly risky for someone who doesn’t understand staking.
That's not what a steak is stop giving misinformation every video I watch I haven't seen all your videos but take it from the winningest player in history I taught negs A steak is when somebody puts you in by a certain percentage or all of it but they don't get that percentage or all of it never say that

Dude, you gotta earn that juice. Less than 5 percent.
Should be 0 markup. He isn't even known to be a good player he just makes comedy videos

15% mark up on staking is crazy bro.
Sorry, but charging markup when you're a half decent player at best is pretty scummy. This is exactly what is wrong with "influencers"!
Since he charged 15% mark up doesn’t that mean he raised $11,500 instead of $10,000? So even if he loses he still has $1,500?
@buyerenogurlfwendo2106 yes, but no because looks like he sold only 30%, so not sure if someone else is staking more or he has 70% of himself
How is it scummy? You don't have to back him, he's not forcing anyone, he's literally just putting the option out there for anyone that wants to...
if you have stupid people in this world willing to stake him, why not 😅😂

you charge your fan for mark up?
Bro this video is 2 days old and he's already staked. I'm mad but happy for ya greg
The easiest 1500 he has ever made.
Im guessing he didnt finish in the money and everybody lost.
I feel like the people you would want to stake are the people who wouldn't need it. It just feels like a losing bet
Oh lord...bouta get stacked hand one 😂
this is a bad look greg
Real gamblers gamble on someone gambling
I used to get staked in yugioh lmao
Why not play and win your way up that buy in amount? What's the most you've bought in for one event? How did you do?
Good luck and patience to ya.

high risk no return 😂🎉
Ill only stake you if everytime you get 72o you go all in 😊
Good luck!
And as if checking now it said sold out
Get club GG to sponsor me and il fly out tomorrow. I’ll win it. Throw you a million and it would make for a great story.
