I don't wish to argue the merits or otherwise of the new Pipsaid Lotto program. It is, and will be up to the individual members as to whether they participate.
How ever, I really feel it smacks of hypocracy for people to say they won't participate because they don't gamble.
What did they think they were doing when they joined PIPs?
Were they guaranteed they would make money?...Don't think so... Were they not warned? that.... "You should not invest more than you can afford to lose."
In my book every member who has joined PIPs or any other similar program has taken a gamble. We will just have to wait to see if it pays off...

If you lose your money in PIPS or any other financial investment like stocks or forex, that is considered a loss! ....the higher the risks the higher the profit/loss is the general lesson in financial investments. PIPS was a very high risk investment,...but not a gamble!
Gambling never promise any ROI or ROL, ...period!

Crazytony,
Those who have put money (mostly picpay btw) in the pools did NOT invest in the 3% program.
They simply pooled money that would in time, when the 3% program launched, be put in that.
It never came that far so nobody has invested in The 3% Program.Regards,
4P

It was a whim, not a reality, barely mentioned by Bryan in Vegas, so how can anyone say it was anthing more than a pool of hopes and dreams. Sadly, many did put in cash, so I feel for those poor people for they may never see their money if DBR is prosecuted as charged.
Good luck to all, Mike

Does this sound like a gamble to you? I believe I do see the word GUARANTEED and REPAYMENT in there. How about you Dadakool? I didn't make up these promises...this is straight off the pipsinc website. People want to have faith in others. When someone says "guaranteed" we all want to believe that they are being truthful...otherwise we might as well erase the word from the dictionary. I for one still believe Bryan will come through for us...maybe not on the timeline he promised, but hopefully sooner than later.

I should probably keep out of this debate as it seems that even the slightest hint that anyone is unhappy or disconcerted they are immediately classed as trolls.
I like 1000's, I am sure, looked to the PIPS program and Bryan as CEO as a real breath of fresh air in the midst of scam after scam, and felt that to particpate in the program was a way of achieving long past dreams of security, support for our families and, probably most important, a rock to grasp as we entered retirement for whatever reason, illness, age, or redundancy.
It wasn't a gamble, it was an investment for our future. We all know that investments can fail and this is the risk that we take, but this has not failed, it has just ceased operating. It is possible to achieve a 2% ROI with managed investment, and the greater the investment fund, the easier the achievement of 2% becomes.
Get real. If you had an investment fund of in excess of $1m do you not think that you could achieve a 2% returm ?
Of course you could. Even using arbitrage betting, returns at this level are more than possible.
The problem is that as individuals we don't have $1m, but as a total membership.....................................
