As many of you will know my playing time has gone right down since I a) got a job and b) Scully Jr arrived. I'm keen to keep the br working though so staking seems the way to go.

I've opened a chip me up account and have had moderate success there. Has anyone used any other staking sites? If so what are the pros and cons?

What other advice would you have for someone who wanted to get into staking?

Cheers

Toro would probably be the best one to ask about this. There is a site that I belonged to a while ago as a stakee that he is a large backer there.

Thanks mx. I had seen that one and plan to watch the intro videos when I get home.

I use PTP too. It's really organised in comparison to other sites or casual staking and the site seems to work hard on behalf of the staleys if there are any problems, which is as much as you can ask for really.

The calibre of players and the deals on offer are great, and there is plenty of action in most areas (tournies/cash/SNG's).

All good info guys. Thanks for that.

So, as a newbie where would you start? All any hints and pointers much appreciated

Just PM me on ptp and I'll answer whatever questions you run into.

Hadn't heard of chipmeup so had a look. Looks interesting but there are so many players to choose from! Good to hear you've ha a bit of success Scully and good luck for future staking.

Any tips?

On cmu I have a simple method of simply looking at what's upcoming and checking the guys opr. If they are profitable at the stakes they want to play I'll buy shares.

There is also a forum post from one guy asking for horses that meet certain requirements. I added a few to the watchlist from that.
