investing or gambling in hyip?

i lost money in hyips too. i lost over $100 in a few hyip programs but now am closing the losing gap. but still i will stop because i don't like gambling.

i joined those long-term ones like verifield, geniusfunds, infinitiva, panamoney, etc. these are more trusted & have been around for quite a long time.

Actually what did they invested in? Do you have any idea?

most of them invest in forex, stocks, & shares. but of course there are thousands of hyip out there claim that they are investing on these too but are unreal. anyway, it is really risky to invest in hyip because they never disclose their earnings from the so-called business in details.

lol =D Well, that's the very first thing that comes to my mind, when i saw your post.. haha =D And between investing or gambling, it's just a matter of mentality to how one wanna see it.. Thanks for the pencil ^_^

great response & well spoken! now you are giving the reason why they have to stick with the name hyip instead of hygp! but of course, the word investing also promote respectability to hyip as if people were investing in stocks or shares. that's what hook people to join & earn the fast money, thinking that it is really that promising (including me ).

Hmm sustainable was maybe a wrong word for it :D All hyips die but some die slower.

short-term hyips usually vanished before entering 2-4 weeks of their operation, while long-term hyips usually vanished after 4-8 months of their operation. but of course, there are long surviving hyip like allworldhyip, stable interest, nanomoneycorp, investment forge, genius funds, etc. that have been around for years. as long as money keeps going in, they will survive. but still, it is a kind of gambling. no one can offer you ongoing 2-3% yield on your investment, not even any top brokers around the world.

But gamble is a wrong word because it's about luck. Here it's all about joining a site that get a lot of investments, it's more a skill than luck.

it's alright, basically it's someone who claims to be with an investment company giving you a very high interest in return (upon maturity) if you invest your money in their plans.

poker is gambling too. yet for some reason we see the same faces at the final tables of each tournament :)

a game? a gambling game? or an investing game? so we are still getting involved in hyip although we knew that it is actually hygp.

yeah, that's most probably the reason why we are still getting involved.

A game is for entertainment. Investment is serious staff, game is not. So HYIP is kind of a gambling game to me. so it is really kind of a HYGP :) We, who knows it is HYGP, are getting involved probably not because we want to get rich quickly but to test our chance of wining a gamble, maybe.

good, because it is simply a gambling. it makes you think that you are investing into something but actually you are gambling into it.

you need to do a lot of research before you invest/gamble into an hyip (aka hygp). it is highly not recommended for everyone.

I know not for me!

that's what i mean, it's a gambling. we don't know who's on the other side but we give them our money & expect a profit over time. i once lost over $110 in hyips but now closing the losing gap to be around $20 loss.

but anyhow, we don't know who is the person at the other end & we are gambling that our money will earn some profit over time.

no matter how legitimate they are, it is still a gambling because it is stated very clearly in their terms that you might lose money & they do not guarantee the return on your investment.

it's true that genius funds is currently one of the top in the hyip indsutry. their rate is sustainable, they use a lot of payment processors, support is good, available in many languages, etc. yes, you are right. we should earn money by ourselves & not through this type of investment/gambling.
