Default How does staking usually work?

I'm a total stake noob.

Say I got staked for a $1 SNG with 9 people, and I lose. Do I owe the person who staked me $1, or is that the point?

And if I win, I'm guessing you agree to some split ahead of time?

Never been staked, never want to.

normal stake would be you pay back the stake (if you win something) and a certain % of your winnings. But if you lose than you thank your staker and that is that.

I like staking - both ends of it.

If you stake proven, winning players, even with them keeping half of what they win, you should make a profit in the long run - without even having to play!

And being staked is great. Sure, you only keep half of what you win, but it's with ZERO risk. It's like playing nothing but freerolls.
