hyip is the same thing like gambling, even on this forum investor based games (hyips) are in gambling thread, also in hyips the same like in gambling you have a possibility to loose money but you also can make money
For me not the same because you can win and gain profit with gambling than HYIp's
Because HYIP's are scam and there is no profit you can get..
So its better to invest on gambling than investing in any HYIP pozi's
but you can also make money in ponzis and hyips too if you are lucky enough to invest into it your money while its still paying, of course it can turn to scam very fast and you would loose money, but that means its a gamble
