I still don't see why you would think they are "dumb". Even if the situation were reversed and I am the guy putting up the money let's say for Druff. Druff runs 4x or 5x his normal win rate. I'm happy for both me and him if he decides to lock it up. Win win for both sides.
Cause your just using them to build your roll. Yes they're using you as well, but they take all the risk. I can only speak for me, but I never quit my backers no matter what I was up because I just felt a sense of loyalty to them. I might play different stakes with my own funds, but I would never cut them out because it was usually a time that I needed that stake money to be able to make money to pay my bills, so I just felt obligated to the person who in my eyes helped me out. In reality thy were just using me to make money, so maybe this is a leak on my end.
You're lecturing somebody on ethics & then you post something as stupid as this?

As a backer this would be way worse than quitting a stake a couple weeks early to protect a profit for everybody.

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.
