This is not a gamble, really.  If you would be interested in turning
$96 of your money into $68,000 (and not just once but as many times
as you'd like), drop me a line for details.

The way to do this is a European financial game called Joker '88.
The way it works, in broad terms, is this:

You would buy a Joker '88 certificate for around $32. On this certi-
ficate are seven names: the name of the person who sold you the certi-
ficate (on the seventh position), the name of the person who sold it
to him/her (on the sixth), and so on.  You would pay, by bank, $32 to
the person on position 1 (his bank account number is printed there,
too).  The third $32 goes to the German company who organizes and con-
trols the system.  In return for your proof of payment to Person #1
and your $32, they will send you 3 certificates to sell on -- for $32
each.  So your investment is returned as soon as you are able to sell
these three certificates.  Your clients will in turn sell 3 each, their
clients will each sell 3, and so forth.  In the end run, seven genera-
tions later, 3x3x3x3x3x3x3 = 2,187 people will pay you (since you're
#1 now) $32 each, for a total of $69,984.

And yes, you guessed it -- I'm selling these certificates.  You can,
too.  I've sold six already and I am always looking for more buyers who
want to make a lot of money too!  For each #96 you invest, you reap a
$70,000 profit -- IF you can sell your certificates.

Send me a note if you're interested, I will send you more information
so you can check the integrity of the system for yourself.  You will
conclude that there are no catches and that this is a great way of
making money!!
