Envelope Stuffing Job Wanted

kylie1dw

Hiya

If you have a mailing house in your area then they might have outworkers that effectively stuff envelopes from home. I worked in a mailing house for 12 years and regularly took work home, especially at the weekends, and earned around 6 to 8 per hour doing it.

A lot of it is done by machine nowadays but there is still plenty that is still done bone hand and especially labelling addresses on envelopes which is very easy.

But as everyone else has said any adverts for envelope stuffers are a con.

Enfieldian

Even the restaurants and takeaways who constantly put leaflets through the door have them already folded when they are delivered from the printers.

I would safely say that this industry is dead, if it ever existed in the first place.

Sorry.

Wrong about which part? It is definitely gambling so you can't be saying I'm wrong about that.

Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money

How can it be gambling if you know the amount you will get back prior to the event happening and it will be the same regardless of the outcome.
If I was to place a bet on you flipping a coin and bet on both heads and tails falling I can't lose ,I can't win either ,Unless you made an agreement to,for example give me a pound after I had bet on ten coin flips.
That is it in a nutshell

Basically saying, you have to invest your own money and even though it's low risk it isn't no risk so don't risk money you can't afford to lose...as it is possible to lose it.

So, which part was I wrong about?

It is true you will have to have some seed money ...But you will have to pay for your bus fare out of your own cash on the first day at the office.
The bit about it being almost risk free is a mote point ....As of yet no one has come forward on this forum and I mean not even one person stating they have lost money when done properly .
zero risk sounds too good to be true ...but that is what the data seems to be showing

Only a fool would pursue an argument so aggressively about a subject they have no knowledge of .

If you wish to continue maybe take it onto the gambling forum as it is not good form to hijack a thread ..
It was offered as an option for the OP ..Not for everyone ,but done properly it is the best tax free income I have found that you can earn at home.

You don't know the amount you will get back, that's the whole point. You can work out from the odds what you'd get back if you win but that doesn't mean you won't lose.

Yes it was offered as an option and I voiced an opinion on it and so far you have called me wrong (even though the link you posted showed that my opinion was correct) and have now called me a fool for no apparent reason.

Likening gambling (yes it IS gambling - placing a bet to get a return or lose your initial bet is gambling) to paying for a bus fare is ridiculous. You know when you pay your bus fare that you will get a bus ride, when you place a bet you don't know what the outcome will be - you may know the odds but you don't know if you will win or lose, that's why it is gambling and not a no-risk situation.

If people want to try that system then that's for them to decide but at no time should be it called no risk, no beting and no gambling because it is all of those things. Perhaps that's why the inital post which started all of this has been deleted as it was giving false information.

Every post in the thread you linked to says to make sure you don't use money that you can't afford to lose. That means there IS a risk of losing it, otherwise every one of those statements would be redundant. Maybe you should read the threads you post links to before criticizing others for an opinion based on the facts from those threads.

Yes you do know the exact amount you will get whether you win or lose .
And that is the whole point

You do seem to be struggling with the concept of match betting .
It is taking the gamble out of the equation.

The only thing the odds have to do with it is whether they match closely and are high enough for certain bets to return a good percentage (over 80%) of the free bet.

I am happy to continue with my statement that only a fool would try and argue a point about something they know nothing about.
The Risk you keep going on about is covered with a "lay" bet elsewhere.
I know I will win at one place ,and lose at the other and I know if done correctly it will be the same amount ,regardless of outcome and regardless of where the bet wins ,and loses .
My profit is made by the free cash being offered .
There is no gamble in the sense of having a stake at risk .
My betting stake risk at the bookmakers is covered either at an exchange or another bookmaker.
This reduces the returns on my bet ...But the guarantee of a definite amount is something I am far more comfortable with than hoping a result goes my way.

So I will state again for anyone who cares to look beyond their assumptions.And read some of the threads more carefully rather than cherry picking quotes to validate their misconceptions.
This is Not Gambling.Other wise it would be removed from MSE
There is Risk that the Bookie may fold (But so could your bank or Retailer) .
The "Work" is in taking the risk out of the bets and maximising the return from each free bet.

You really have no idea how it works even when I have simplified it .
You have chosen to take an alternate view .
You are wrong and unfortunately not of a mind to let anything other than you own uninformed opinion drive you.
It is by far the most lucrative way of investing a spare hundred quid ,that I know of
For me it has allowed me to overpay my mortgage and spend extra on the family.I even got the Sony Vaio I writing on now through a months profits .
Why wouldn't any body want to share that ?

No, you're missing my point still. It doesn't matter what the odds are, you still have to put in some of your own money to gamble with. Every post in the link you said agrees with this and all say don't use money that you can't afford to lose, which means that it CAN be lost. Just because it doesn't always happen that way doesn't mean it won't ever happen that way.

My first post still stands, you have to use your own money to get that matched with free bets.

Good for you for paying off your mortgage with your winnings but drop the attitude, not once have I ever said people shouldn't do this. All I stated was an opinion on it and that it wasn't as risk free as the inital poster (whose post has been removed) stated. I'm obviously not the only person to think this or else everyone in that thread you showed wouldn't be saying not to risk money you can't afford losing.

i think you're all missing the point! the op asked about envelope stuffing NOT matched betting/gambling as you lot are going on about. they were also asking for something to be done from home and working in fast food is definatly not your home!

Aurelia_2

So true!

When I was self employed I looked for similar envlope stuffing jobs too because while I was doing my own mailers it wouldn't be any inconvenience for me to be folding up someone else's too. I never actually found a legitimate offer for it though, they were all "photocopy this flyer 200 times asking for each person to send you £10 and then mail them out and become rich!" schemes

Envelope stuffing = SCAM

The OP needs to think of an alternative
