Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Stake Horse as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A stake horse, the correct spelling is stakehorse, is a financial backer for a gambling situation where the player can not afford to fork up the money up front. He or she may look for a stake horse to back him or her in the bet or tournament, and share in the winnings if the tournament is won. Typically, if the player loses, the full risk of loss is on the stake horse.
