  Well, I may be stupid here but... most of them work by adding your name to a 
list.  Say, you have a list with 10 names.  Send a buck to each of them.  
Then, rotate the list down and put your name first.  Send this out to 10 
people.  They each send you a buck, thus you have lost nothing.  Now, those 10 
send to 10 other people, ( thats 100 bucks you'll get ) and so on.... or so 
its supposed to work.
