Apologies if this is already common knowledge, but it came as news to me.

I only stumbled upon it because I was checking out the Zone's latest sponsor and it's

Who's Woody - is that Wordsworth?

Bolger obviously didn't get on with the squad as he alone doesn't seem to have a nickname like Deegs, Tims, Pig, Bents, Coker, Westy and Lenny all do.

Don't you know nuffink? OBL to the rescue:

'I'm sure there's plenty of photos kicking about - here's Kev and I with Woody, who we spent ages chatting to after finding out that he's a huge fan of The Rifles as well!'

I bet he mentions the Herbalife, which is a pyramid scheme. A con and a sham built to shake down suckers who don't know any better. And it may be the biggest pyramid scheme of its kind in the world. I am surprised a pro footballer has been sucked into using it

How much, Barna?

How much, Barna?

I'm hardly Barna. It's plastered all over Instagram and Twitter on a daily basis. Don't agree with any pyramid selling organisations, they prey on the weak and impressionable, no idea how White got drafted up, though he quite weak at RB :winking:

Doesn't Ronaldo use it too? One of the biggest and most well known players in the world. Must be doing something right for him to endorse it.

Its pyramid selling. Do some research on Herbalife and you will understand more

I know exactly what it is, it's like all of those schemes. A lot of the military wives do all these schemes and promote them on camp. Herbalife, Juice Plus, etc. You can't fault the bloke for wanting to make a living outside of football. His career is at the tail end so he needs to start planning for the future. It's obviously working for Garry Richards who has got JW involved in this. As professional/ex professional footballers they will be better at selling it than fat ***** like us.

You know how pyramid selling works?

You know how pyramid selling works?

Yes, thank you.

You need a large outdoor space preferably in Egypt

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Yes, thank you.

Do you know they prey on the gullible, feed off their earnings etc etc

 

[amsemp]

I'll be sure to give it a miss. I've read enough bollocks about Herbalife inbetween Trade Price Cars plugs from his Facebook to last a lifetime.

 

[Ricey]

Yep, but not when they are professional and ex professional footballers. They use them as figureheads and build around them to attract more gullible prey!

It doesn't mention Herbalife, that's just dwb going a bit Barna.

So you are saying that John White and Ronaldo are being used as figureheads to help prey on the weak.

Not so much Ronaldo. He is a marketing tool and has his own line with them. They will be paying him for doing very little. He must think something of the product to be involved though. (You'd like to hope)

John White, Garry Richards, Mark Phillips and whoever else lower league players who sell/promote it. Will be used to attract more into these schemes as to the average Joe seeing it being promoted and sold by a footballer is more of a reason to trust it and want to be involved.

You should probably think about deleting him.

The difference between this and other pyramid schemes (i.e. cash schemes) is that these people are selling a consumable that will be (obviously) consumed and will therefore need to be replaced. So customers will come back for more.

Cash pyramid schemes are much much worse because the scheme soon runs out of people, and because cash isn't a consumable people don't come back for more.

Friends of mine got all excited about a pyramid scheme and tried to get me involved. The pyramid was that each person gave £3000 to a the person who roped them in, and then found 8 people to give them £3000, and each of those 8 found another 8. I sent these friends a spreadsheet which showed this that it would only take 9 levels of the pyramid to exhaust the entire population of the country.

Level	Number	Cumulative
1	8	8
2	64	72
3	512	584
4	4,096	4,680
5	32,768	37,448
6	262,144	299,592
7	2,097,152	2,396,744
8	16,777,216	19,173,960
9	134,217,728	153,391,688
10	1,073,741,824	1,227,133,512

But the difference with something like Herbalife is that it's a consumable, so people will come back for more.
