So many people say they earn online by upgrading or investing in hyip sites.
Im not a gambler..
Even when I lived in Las Vegas, the gambling capital.. I didnt gamble.
Its just not for me.
I work hard for my money.
Cant just toss it away like that.
Of course, if it was a sure thing... I try it.

Online gambling used to put a little bit of money in my pocket. I used to play poker. But for a VERY short time! I probably only won a few hundred before I switched to pretend money! I couldn't handle the pressure of having money on the line.
However, I eventually developed a roulette system which WILL win money if followed correctly.
No, I didn't best the mathematical code. It's impossible to do that. The house always has the advantage. But I developed an online system to give the house only a .5% advantage over a generic player.
This is done with a French roulette wheel where you only have one 0 slot and the en prison rule allows a hit on this zero to stay on the table rather than being taken by the house.
It's so effective a betting strategy that most online casinos won't let you do it. And I can no longer use it, because of America's heavy religious population saying gambling is of the devil, and the paranoia about terrorist funding, every casino I can find allowing Americans doesn't offer French roulette.
But if anyone wants to know the betting system for a French roulette table, hit me up. I'm not a scam artist trying to give it away for money. I'll offer it for free, and I know it'll put extra money in someone's pocket. .
The only catch: You probably won't be allowed to use it for more than a week. Once the casino notices that you're never losing money on the table, they'll assume you're cheating.

Very true, even upgrading at sites doesnt make us alot. I paid 15.00 to upgrade to make 33.00. Doesnt seem worth it at all.

I have been playing online poker for a little while and wont know what it feels like to play with real cash unless i step in to that unknown.
I even tried playing real poker at a Casino once and it was not the poker I was use to playing online and found it very confusing. Its some sort of fast paced poker that makes no sense to me participating.

I'd never consider gambling as a way to earn money! Sure, I'll invest in the stock market, but it's small potatoes! Slow and steady wins the race, but a bit of excitement is nice!
If I go into a casino, I only bring cash-maybe $50. Whatever I'm comfortable losing-and when the money's gone, I leave.

I try to stay away from those types of websites for that reason. MyLot is an exception: we choose to earn as little, or as much as we like without any other investment than our time. What we do with out rewards is our own choice.

I agree, but even some sites are a gamble, if we are forced to invest to get paid by them.. or to make more $$$ as they call it.

No, I am not a gambler and would not be throwing any money away like this. I just could not afford to do so.

I have only upgraded once and that was on you-cubez. i know the site is good and I could have made that money back. I just don't know how to use that site well enough, so, I was out $5 on that because I didn't do enough to make back the upgrade.

Same here, I work to hard to just toss it away. As per upgrading I used to do it all the time. have been scammed so many times.

I don't know anyone who gambles online myself. I would be suspicious of those kind of sites anyway, especially since so many sites in general turn out to be scams. I do gamble whenever I go to the casino in Louisiana, which isn't that often. I only gamble what I can afford to spend. Some people have addictions to it, that leave their personal lives and finances in shambles.

I"ve learned not to take risks with money. I got suckered into something once, thinking it was a way to make money from home. It just got me out $90 because I fell for their false hope. I won't buy into "home" business ever again and I will not upgrade at a site again unless I know how to work it well enough to get that money back.

A lot of people paid money in that site. I'm glad I didn't. I couldn't have any way the prices were outrageous. I haven't paid anything on the new site and I won't. If I get money out of it, great for me. I feel sorry for all who lost theirs. If Paul makes it right or not, I don't know.

Oh man sorry to hear that. I also met someone here this weekend from mg. She paid $60.00 for that upgrade there. Got 2 payments of less than 4.00 before site closed down. A true shame.

It is good that you are not into gambling. One can be addicted after sometime. Majority are great looser in gambling. One tends to have greed more easily and that's why they loose out in the end...

I don't blame you. Even stocks seems like such a waste and too many opportunities for failure. I took a class in college about investing in stocks. And I came out of the class even more sure that I would never invest in stocks. I'd rather invest in tangibles. Like property, a house, things like that.

omg this honestly makes me so mad that people do this. i know that sometimes it pays off but everyone else gets screwed. the internet run ones are worse than a real casino because you can access them all the time from any location. they are incredibly addicting.
i personally have never been tricked by these bc i dont like to gamble my hard-earned money. i also dont fully understand the card games xp
all in all i feel like this is no a viable way to make real money. its a fantasy and a game.
the fact that you would try it if it was a sure thing takes away from gambling and makes it a job similar to mylot.
im proud of and for you that you were still able to resist the gambling temptation and addiction while living in las vegas.

I guess Im a bad loser. i may have gambled 4 or 5 times in all those years I was in Vegas. I cant even get myself to invest online, its a big gamble for me as well.

Gambling is a big no for me. Yeah, this is our hard earned money and we need to spend it on something worthwhile so definitely not on any gambling activity.
Have a wonderful day!

Hi friend, good to know that you are not interested in gambling, even though you are living in the gambling head quarters. Really it is hard to see this kind of people in this sort. I am also in your sort and not interested in gambling. Our hard earnings only help us to live happily and get satisfaction in our life. This kind of gambling money never give any happiness to us.

i had this habit to gamble money,but i've stopped doing this for 6 months. the only thing i felt from gambling is that i lost my money in a really short time and i almost never won. if i try to calculate my earnings versus my loss,i must say that i've lost about 200 $,and these are big money in romania. i would never come back to this old bad habit and i am really greatful to my friends because they helped my quit :)

gambling is an illness,
believe me or not if you start you cant stop easily,i had same experience before
i was gambling and betting online,when i earn more i betted more,then i lost all money
i think this is normal.and gambling sites and companies know how people are greedy,so they always win.
i have never seen any betting company that has been bankrupt.
so of course you can try but believe me its not a method to be rich..
peace and happy mylotting..

Yeah, money is not easy to earn. We may loose hundreds or thousands in a twinkle of an eye, but it takes a lot of effort and days, months, or even years to earn them back. So, it is just not worth to risk it.

Nothing is a sure thing, as far as gambling is concern and I would advise that you stay away from it - the further the better. We Chinese have an old saying which says that out of 10 times you gamble, you will loose 9 times. You may consider lottery but within your means to donate to its welfare that it supports.
I know Vegas is a gambler's paradise but even if I have millions I am sure I have better use with it than trying my luck with slots or cards.

This is so funny, because I was just talking to my father about this very same thing! Lol. My husband is a gambler-right now on the lottery and the stupid quarter machines. But I always tell him we will NEVER go to Vegas because he would spend all of our money.
I am not a gambler, I hate spending money on foolish things. It's not for me either that is for sure...

depend on what kind of gambling you are ?
Put my money with something i've never know, is a big no for me.
put my money in las vegas is a big no for me too.
better try to invest our money in another thing that we know better.
what i've learned, life is about gambling too.
sometime to get more money you need to spend more.
the key is don't be greedy.

I don't like gambling either,I can't understand why, some people waste they money gambling any way, it a waste of time to me, there were some women in the doctor office talking about, how they take this bus, to go to the casinos and gamble, they are wasting the retirement money, on gambling what a same, that is why most of them stay broke, all the time.
