Launch of PSStakes.com Ushers in the Next Generation of Staking Communities

New staking community ready to connect players with bankroll backing.

College Park, MD (PRWEB) November 3, 2006 -- The next generation of staking community has arrived, and it's found a home at www.psstakes.com. What exactly is a staking community? It's a place designed to bring together poker players and financial backers in a way that will benefit both. Backers offer funding --a "stake"-- to a player in exchange for part of the player's winnings. It's investing, poker style.

When asked why he began PSstakes.com, founder Andrew Ferguson said, "I feel there is a need to introduce those who are interested in staking people to the professionals and winning players out there that do not want to risk their own money or do not have a bankroll."

PSStakes sets itself apart from other poker staking communities through a partnership with statistical database Sharkscope.com. This assurance comes by checking the Return on Investment (ROI) of each new applicant through the extensive statistics gathered by Sharkscope. If a player has a positive ROI, they can become a member and apply for stakes. PSStakes seeks to create stakes that are a lower-risk, higher-return investment than typical staking agreements.

Risk for stakers can also be minimized through optional stake insurance. Additionally, every member who applies will have a profile featuring their recent Sharkscope stats. If a player's ROI drops and is no longer positive, their profile will reflect the change. This allows backers to keep an eye on recent performance of applicants. The site also features a forum, open to everyone, where players seeking to improve their ROI can discuss strategy and seek advice.

Interested parties can stake other players on www.PSStakes.com for free. Players who are looking for stakes pay a minimal fee of $9.99 each month for membership, which includes full access to all staking offers available as well as a profile with Sharkscope statistics updated every hour.
