    Goobets, legit or another scheme?

    Hi, I got told about this company doing sports trade betting for each person, and you can earn referal commissions. I've not joined and was unsure, but I've seen a post on behind mlm regards it been another ponzi.
    Just thought I'd post here and see if anyone else knew anything, thanks.

    SCAM. Endless recruiting for fresh cash being promoted by a cadre Ponzi pimps. A collective that has never been right about a single endless recruiting opp being legit. New money pays old investors until the day it doesn't.


    On a serious note, if I could take this seriously, I would ask why a group of professional bettors would need cash infusions from the general public with the returns they are claiming? Surely they could find loan sharks that offer better terms, and if they need money doesn't that make the degenerate gamblers rather than professionals?

    Cheers, the returns look crap really for what your paying out. So basically there's no betting going off, just recruiting for a Ponzi scheme?
    $13 a week for the $310 package?, hardly great I thought myself!.
    I've decided everything is a scam online. Only one thing I will continue to do , and is legal in uk, matched betting. Just too many ponzis out there for me! Cheers

    If there was betting, FX trading, grocery diverting, or whatever other magical money method claimed it would be a first in history. Some of these guys make a half hearted effort to go legit once they get the cash, that never seems to end well either.

    Considering everything online a scam, dubli if it involves endless recruiting for fresh cash is the only safe bet IMO. Enjoying your fun money to do a little gambling on your own, much more enjoyable, and maybe on a good day will get some of it back.

    Well I thought it sounded good, till i heard about recruiting then i went off it. Regards the 'gambling' , its hard to explain but it involves 'backing' and 'laying' bets off at betfair. This is totally legit and tax free in the UK since its classed has winnings. It seems the only way ive ever made money online is with this, oh and surveys, although this can be a little boring at times, but does pay, unlike half these scams!

    If you want to bet chose a legit bet exchange like betfair and place your own bets. Never put money in someone else you don't know who is and is trying to sell you false dreams just to steal your hard earned money. No one knows that scammer trader here who claims to be "Miguel Carvalho". He uses the image of other well known traders to try to make this ponzi more "attractive" but you shouldn't trust in this shitty ponzi. Most of their promoters were the same group of low life scammers who pimped scams like Geteasy, Colibri, Telexfree, etc...

    In fact the best betting guide are available to be viewed online for free and none need to pay for betting tips. If they are really making a lot of money with their betting system they would never need to sell their great system for a cheap price. These scammers want to defraud begginners who don't know yet how real gambling works....

    Thats a bit incorrect, whenether or not online gambling is legal or not for your jurisdiction and if the house needs to have a local gaming commission license to serve you is one thing and perhaps legal. But giving your money to allegedly another gambler (site) for a stated profit is investment and falls under jurisdiction of FCA and must be licensed. So no, Goobets is absolutely not legal.

    BTW, Betfair has licenses to serve only residents of Gibraltar,Malta, UK, Australia and a single state of New Jersey.
    Anyone else , they will be breaking the local laws of that country/state. And there is federal ban on online gambling in US (with few local state exceptions)

    I have a couple of friends that have done some focus groups and been paid a little money. Sit around and talk about laundry detergent for an hour, get paid.

    The only place I have ever found profitable at the casino is the buffet, where they have to back me off like a card counter.

    Matched betting is an interesting concept, if you make money then whats not to like?

    Like anything though, there is some too good to be true floating around with the legit.

    This is a concept the intrigues me...

    And if I could pull it off I certainly wouldn't be shooting my mouth off or heading to MMG/TalkGold looking for partners. Just quietly cash my checks, and go mingle with the ladies at the next baked bean focus group.

    I didn't mean goo bets were legal, I meant matched betting, which in the uk is, has stated on wiki. I won't be having nothing to do with goobets.

    Goobets.biz (as well as its twin site: directbull.com) ponzi is being run on hyip-in-a-box script, sold by Goldcoders for $145

    goob_gc_lic.jpg

    About the same is spent for hosting and about $200 on graphic design template.

    Thats all you need to launch a HYIP. Plus few offshore bank accounts to link with payprocessors to hide your loot , but that can be accomplished with zero down (a lot of money launderers will gladly let you use their series of accounts for some %)

    Just reading all that just makes me now think it looks more a scam. Another thing i see mentioned a lot is 'passive income'. Now what im seeing passive is, 'when people put more in you will get paid'.
    Call me cynical, but the words passive income is starting to make me cringe!

    Any site that does not have any real and legit company who offer you any real and legit product/service is 100% scam. This is just a poor ponzi scheme because some others make more efforts to mask it and to try to make it look like legal. But anyone who do a due diligence can spot the difference between these scams and legal MLM companies who can offer you great businness oportunities. :)

    Spot On.

    "Passive Income" advertised in an opportunity can be safely be considered a Ponzi/Pyramid. The irony being the pimps heavily promoting these schemes have anything but a passive income. All their previous passive income opportunities have collapsed, are collapsing, and they are continually scouting the next big thing and fresh suckers.

    Here is an opportunity Darren Burton was pitching less than a year ago, wtf happened to all the money people were going to make with that? Not to mention "Zukul" with a rocket ship, is this guy 4?

    The unauthorized use of images with Ponzi scams is nothing new.

    I am wondering if the two guys promoting this picked their names from a hat, it is just a coincidence, or they really are retired athletes?

    No doubt punters got some goo from scam promoters like Craig Page, the kind that usually involves a bar of soap and a prison shower. I see he hasn't missed a beat.
