I’ve backed people in tournaments before with a markup, but these people had experience and results at that level of play. I wouldn’t pay a markup to one of my better home game players jumping in his first WSOP main event, although I would probably buy a piece of his action with no markup just for kicks.
20 percent is a huge markup for someone with a winning record at given stakes, and to me a completely unreasonable expectation for someone climbing such a high level. Could you win? Possibly, it may be a soft game despite the stakes, or variance may be on your side. But imo if you want to take your shot, asking for no markup seems your best bet to get staked.
