it's just a Pyramid scheme, most of your earnings are from signing up new people underneath you, but after 9 or 10 levels you run out of people in the UK to sign up
and the odds of you winning the lottery are the same whatever way you do it !!Ex forum ambassador

From what i've seen, its got very little to do with a pryamid scheme?
Anyway, it just means that if you win the jackpot, it's split between people in your group, and so bigger chance to win but less money.0 -

Every one I have looked into is run on the lines of the "mug" pays £5, £2 goes onto the lottery and the other £3 pays the people above him. To me that is a pyramid scheme.Anyway, it just means that if you win the jackpot, it's split between people in your group, and so bigger chance to win but less money.
Every one I looked into only gave you 5 numbers plus a mystery number. So if your five numbers come up you will have no way of knowing if your sixth number also came up. You will have to rely on complete strangers being totally honest and telling you that you have won the jackpot and not just a 5 number win.
If anyone is willing to give complete strangers £5 for two lines on the lottery, and be happy that the stranger has the ticket and is the only person who knows what all the numbers are. Then they can send a fiver to me, I'd be more than happy to buy FIVE tickets for them and only tell them what the first five numbers are.
Would I be honest enough to give them the full amount if all six numbers came up, or would I tell them that only five came up and their "mystery number" wasn't the winning number? And just give them what they would get for five numbers and keep the difference for myself.
Well, I'd like to think I was. But I've never been in the position where I could just tell a lie to a complete stranger and be millions better off.
I consider myself to be honest, but I also believe that you never really know what you would do in a situation until you actually get into that situation.0 -

Isn't it funny how the only people who say these scams are good are the people hoping to get a share of your money.0 -

But you did advertise to everyone, it's not just the person you are replying to that reads your post, anyone can read it.truereddevil wrote: »and anyway they dont have to join up with me i aint forceing them all im saying is its not a scam like you are trying to make it out to be
I am not trying to make out, I am stating a fact.truereddevil wrote: »and im not getting a share of there money cos the money they spend goes on there numbers or tickets and what ever they win within the affilliate i dont get more than them either
So where does your affiliate money come from? How much do you get for recruiting other?0 -
it was never disputed earlier when you pay £5 a week....£2 on tickets...£3 up the pyramid.
You do well if you have lots of people below you..
Its VWD if I remember it right. I've had them removed at work as it is a scam.0
