Not sure if it's worth staking your friend? Watch out, because there are some unwritten rules of agreement

Staking plan

I’ve been thinking about going pro recently and while I think I have the skills to succeed, the one thing I lack is a massive bankroll. A couple of my friends have agreed to stake me in some tournaments. Obviously we’re not going to write up contracts, but I was just wondering if there was a kind of ‘gold standard’ regarding the return that your investors are supposed to get?

Normally if a friend puts you in completely, you split half the winnings. So suppose the buy-in is £1,000 and your mate pays it all: if you win £20,000 then you get 10k each.
