Not really, in actuality think of it as a stock investment, which also applies to your 2nd statement as well: Is it smart to invest in a stock without research? How about all stockbrokers, none of them untrustworthy?? Of course there's an inherit risk to staking, but if they are even a "slightly" better player then you, it's overall +ev, as long as you do the same homework any profitable stock investor does. Now I wouldn't recommend doing it for entertainment value/casually, except in the case of someone selling shares in a larger buy in game/series (also know as BAP, buy a piece). That can be a little safer, as generally they wouldn't have that many people putting enough trust like this without having a at least better than average history of playing and reliably paying back (for casual staking, less homework, however, NOT no homework as there's still a risk if you don't invest wisely)
