I can only assume you meant to say "I might go onto a different network than the one I'm playing the stake on & play some with my own funds as long as I had already disclosed to the backers that any play on this network was not part of the stake". Even with this disclosure it would, IMO, be a slightly unethical(only slightly because you disclosed it, but the backer's may not totally understand the implications of this) thing to do since it could be perceived that you really are just using the backer's money to play 100% for yourself. How the fuck would anybody know where the money came from that enabled you to play on this other network 100% for yourself?

If you meant you're gonna play on the same network, whether on the same account or a different account on a different skin, you've lost all moral high ground because that would be blatantly unethical whether you've disclosed it or not. Either way, I think you've lost the moral high ground.

Just my 2 cents.
wtf are you talking about? I have always had set in stone limits that I could play whole backed. Whatever I do with my own money is fine which is why you play different stakes so its not confused with the deal. You're completely looking like an idiot for even posting what you said.
Your totally missing the point. How does anybody know or prove that the backed player would be playing with their own money in that scenario & not the backer's money? Who's to say the backed player has any of his own money online?

I'm just playing devil's advocate here & maybe there could be some safeguards in place to prevent this but it certainly wasn't explained. I really don't understand how this would work other than the backer trusts the player to do right.
