What is Markup?

Sometimes when a player sells action for a tournament, the decide to have Markup. Markup is a premium charge in order to purchase action, often added when a top-tier player believe they are bringing added value to the backer by having an edge on the rest of the players in the tournament. Markup is also sometimes charged when the player has some additional costs (travel, etc.) associated with a tournament.

An example of markup: With no markup 10% of a $1,000 buy-in would cost the backer $100. If a player were to charge 1.1 markup, 10% of the $1,000 buy-in would cost a backer $110.
