HYIPFever Update


I woke up this morning and thought it might be a good idea to start moving money from my HYIPFever account back into my E-Gold account. So I withdrew the $3.45 available in my account. That means I only need to recover another $1.55 to get my initial $5 deposit back.

I'll admit I haven't tried to strategize much with this game. No doubt other players are. I've heard some are pouring thousands into the game, and I'm sure they've got plans to make money, not lost it.

And yet we all know some of us have to lose. More money [em]will[/em] go in than comes out. Initially the game was set to end when withdrawals reached 80% of deposits. As the game has progressed, that's changed to 82%, then 84%. But it's never going to be 100%, and it's never going to be more than 100%, so there's no way everybody can make a profit. It's just a Ponzi, after all.

The other little twist in the game is the special prize for whoever makes the last deposit. 15% of whatever's left in the deposit pool when the game ends. Right now, that prize is over $1000, so I'm sure there are plenty of people with a plan for that, too.

Sadly, my Master Strategy doesn't amount to much. At this point, it involves hoping I at least get that $1.55 out so that I've made my money back. What a plan! What a daring risk-taker! What's next, Russian Roulette? Ha!
