What is cake/makeup?

• Cake/makeup means that you are basically playing a continuous stake for the staker and just gets added on to the stake back (SB).
  

• Lets say you lost $100 on a stake at 50%/50% split, but then won $5,000 on a $100 stake at 50%/50% that you ran for the same staker.
  
  
  • Normally you would send the money like this (with no cake owed):
    • $5,000-$100(SB) = $4900
    • $4,900 x 50% = $2,450
    • Player get $2,450
    • Staker gets $2,450+$100(SB)= $2,550
    
    
  • But with 100 cake you do this:
    • $5,000-$100(SB)-$100(cake) = $4,800
    • $4,800 x 50% = $2,400
    • Player gets $2,400
    • Staker gets $2,400+$100(SB)+$100(cake) = $2,600

• You see this situation is exactly the same as someone running a $200 stake losing the first $100 then entering a $100 tourney winning 5k and shipping the staker his stakeback and winnings?
• The math is exactly the same the BR is $0.00 because you used the last $100 to enter the tournament and win 5k.
  
  
  • The stake was for $200 so:
    • $5,000-$200(SB)= $4,800
    • $4,800 x0.5 = $2,400
    • Player gets $2,400
    • Staker gets $2,400+$200(SB)= $2,600

• Cake/makeup is always paid out of the stake profits before any spilt is done, what this means is that before the profit is spilt the cake will be paid back and then the rest (if any) will be split per the backers cut %.
