    Pyramid selling bullsh@t i'd say. Like the Virtual World Direct Lottery Syndicate (maybe it is!)

    AVOID

    Actually, if you can get past the selling tactics and just pay your £5 each week, the VWD system does what it says on the tin; it DOES increase your chances of winning by 3600% by simple virtue of the maths involved and how they set the lottery entries up.

    I have no interest in recruiting members or promoting the system etc etc, I just pay my £5 each week. I've turned off all promotional email activity from VWD via my account preferences and.............well someone's got to win the biggie :T

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.

    & what is your Return On Investment so far?

    This is EuroMilions btw:

    Paid in £135, return £122.20, net loss £12.80

    However, if I'd played my allocated numbers on my own at £1.50 a throw over the same period, I'd have paid in £40.50 and won £6.80, a net loss of £33.70.

    Over six months, there's not much in it (£20.70, less than £1 a week) but you can't argue with the mathematics; 3600% higher chance of hitting the jackpot.

    If you're going to enter lotteries, it's common sense to maximise your chances of winning? :confused:

    Can I suggest this is moved over to the gambling introductory loopholes board for a proper discussion seeing as the laws of probability appear to have been changed.
    Aha, so thats how you do a signature!

    If you had common sense you wouldn't enter lotteries.

    I realise people thinking this is a con, but the chances of winning are surely increased and the individual prize money decreased (spread between the other 44 people). I'd rather have a decent chance of winning say £40k (jackpot spread between syndicate) than little or no chance winning a million on my own? And if the affiliate scheme works and you can persuade anyone else to join it could cost nothing for 88 tickets a week in a syndicate of 44.. How can you complain about that?

    By the way I had a look at this a few yrs ago and signed up then cancelled with no problems cos couldnt persuade anyone to join lol

    Glad I found this thread, after posting a free entry competition that they're running to win a grand, people slammed me for posting a "scam" that also is techinichal a referral link. I was honest about it, because all it is is a free draw in to a £1000 prize, but if the person I introduce to the competition wins, I also get £1000 - so like I said, I was honest and put up that it is a referal link, yet it was in the competitions section as there was no ongoing bonus for me.

    Anyway, people started saying "it's a scam" and I wanted to know how? It does what it says on the tin. IF you refer 5 people - you play for free. Referrals work, the company has been around for a long time. I just want to know, how is it a scam? (Other than the fact is gambling ;) )

    Anyone?

    I joined Virtual world direct back in July 2005. I stumbled across it by chance while surfing one day. I know there are many MSE's who don't like this form of earning/gambling and often bad mouth this type of thing. Thats their perogative.

    I spent £20 per month on lottery tickets and could no longer afford to, but like many wanted to live the dream of winning. (still am)
    I decided if i could reach the target of playing for free then this would help with the cash flow. I had no marketing experience or much computer knowledge so i decided to just mention to people and recruited 5 supporting family members. Then i got hooked and in my first month i earned £8.50( For playing the lottery). I now earn over £400 per month plus play for free and have a growing group whom i help on a daily basis. I believe in trying to replicate for them what i acheived.
    I have a full time job as a heating engineer but VWD fills my spare time. This is definately not a pyramid selling issue or is it a case of signing up and watching the members fall into your team. VWD is a genuine first rate company who have a very good reputation. Ask the premiership football teams who are promoting e-lottery.

    I am not here to plug my link, just give a true account of my membership to VWD. My experience of this business has been a pleasure and the extra income has been a lifesaver. Its paying my mortgage and has allowed my partner to stay at home do qualifications for her new business.

    Like any home based business do your research. 5 mins on google and you should be able to find out all the gossip.

    You will only receive info if you request it as VWD are now members of Habeas(who regulate companies who are active against spam) and members of the lotteries council.

    I await the abuse from sceptical members, but i guess it comes with the territory.
    Yes I signed up for this and although I haven't had the time to work it properly is a legitimate business. Like everything else you do have to put the work in and nobody connected with VWD would kid you otherwise.

    This wont be for everyone but of all the similar businesses I have seen it is certainly the best run
