2. Ranking system based on Return on Investment (ROI), review the poker statistic site named above to see how they are doing this. Payment will be based on poker site transfer; this will be verified by emails from the poker site. The system will look for these emails and the name listed and credit the users account and unlock the rail system once payment is confirmed by the system.
3. Rail system and database: The user sign up section, Member profile: users name and location, user must provide the following information, Chose a user name, chose poker sites they play on (drop down list, user can add as many as they wish), name used on poker site, secure password, valid email address (validate thru email conformation link).
a. A spreadsheet type system. User provides link to Staking sites where they want to place their rail. The system looks at the link and gathers information on who is invested, how much they invested (#shares), how much the total starting Bankroll is, Players cut, what’s the price per share, Running Bankroll and list this information in the header of the spreadsheet. The system will ask if make-up applies (yes/no), is make-up redeemable (yes/no) if yes a make-up list created if the stake ends with less than the starting bankroll, this list will be updated with more names as user adds more stakes and they end with less than the starting bankroll, if a stake the user is running ends with more than the starting bankroll and make-up is redeemable the system will tell them how much money should be sent to each investor based on this link ([login to view URL]). New lines are added and titled; Game # (locked, self states as tournaments are added 1,2,3,4,etc.), Tourney ID#, Poker Site (drop down list), Tournament type (SNG, MTT, STT, Ring, Live (drop down list)), Buy-in (locked), # of ReBuys, Finish (locked), Win/lose (locked), Running Bankroll (locked). Note: If live is selected all fields will be updated by the user.
b. The user enters a tournament ID# and how many rebuys were use (if any, default 0, grey out and locked if SNG is chosen), The system then searches the statistical database finds the tournament ID#, then compares the listed players to the stored player names listed in the members profile to find where the name shows up in the tournament list. Then the system fills in the buy-in amount, place the user finished in the tournament, if rebuys were listed multiples the # of rebuys times the buy-in amount minus the rake and the rake is added back in at the end of the calculation (i.e. buy-in =$100+$9 – rake $9 * 3 = $300 + $9 rake= $309). If the finishing place listed show the user finished in the money (ITM) or not, the win/lose is updated accordantly, the Running Bankroll is updated both in the header and in the line of the spreadsheet by adding in any winnings and subtracting the buy-ins. A link will be provided to the user to post on the staking site. This link will appear as a screenshot image on the staking site and as the user adds tournaments to the spreadsheet the same link is updated (no new link is provided the same link must be updated). This will insure that the staking site will always see an updated rail as it updates.
