your are laying two to one on the money if you are playing an even game with no edge over your opponent. if you have a decent edge and play long enough you are still laying two to one on the money but you expectation of winning is much higher maybe even assured. so you can afford to give half if you want.
in general staking and giving 50% is crazy unless it is for a long period of time and you hav a big edge over your opponents.
for a one time deal for big money with the player being broke he should be very happy with 20% of the win and no risk of loss. for a long road trip than 50% looks reasonable if he is playing only in good games.
If you're on a trip every thing is fine. If you're at the home room, he can lose today and get a new horse tomorrow and you're out.
