Poker poker staking

So is it a actual trustworthy thing to do online? Ive done it for my friends before but not a stranger. Any thoughts?

I do it often and have had sucess with it. I don't care to stake people I know as it might hurt the friendship.
Just check with some of their peers to make sure they are not on the shady side.

 

Ive been staked by friends before or acquaintances live play they usually see me play first and come to me stake me.

 

I have just just not had any luck with it. Especially close friends. I jusy don't have the attitude to stick to a deal when it comes to close friends as if they are being staked, they probably need the money and I turn into a push over.,

 

Its easy if they don't hold up there end of the deal just don't ever stake them again until they pay what they owe, if they are really your friend they will uphold the deal to begin with
