I've always had a tough time understanding staking, especially for really small stakes. I mean, if Stu Unger walked up to me after spening his last dime on a 2 week coke binge looking for $10k to split any winnings in a 500 man tourney 50/50, I'd jump at it.

However, op says "start small" so I image anywere from $1 - $20 dollars. If someone is a winning player, why would they need this?

thats the whole point.
these sites where they micro stake people are a joke.
you're obviously only going to get lousy players, or broke ass people who im sure do not intend to pay the stake back.
its a waste of time.
in conclusion micro staking is a waste of time, both for the staker and stakee haha.
