A mate of mine, very VERY good player. Used to be pro, had thousands of tons and several maximums. Ability wise he's first class
He hasn't played on the pro circuit now for 10 years or so.
He's decided that he wants to go back on the pro circuit again.
Should I stake him the entry fees to the events??? I really REALLY want to, but, there's something holding me back.
The biggest reason I want to do it is that I would love to see nothing more than him winning a few matches and see him competing again back at the level he's capable of. So for no other motive than to help realise his dream (again) I wanna do this.
The money aspect of it isn't a worry. Without sounding like a flash git a grand or two isn't gona break the bank (leave a hole, yes, but skin me? not quite) but why is it that if I know there's zero chance on seeing a return on my investment and the blokes a mate why do I have a doubt??
I just don't know.....
Any advice?

Hi, just came across your blog.
You wanted advice about feeling unwilling to back your mate? It sounds to me like you feel strongly that he really has no chance to actually get anywhere in the current Pro circuit, full as it is of young hot shots and very experienced older players.
I'm guessing that the root of your hestiation is that you'll feel responsable for his disappointment when he fails if you stake his entry fees.
