Sentence #1... "Friend, if you are truly, smart, wonderful, good... or even just believe that you are lucky [any challenge 'twitching' your ego or self-esteem], you should be willing to invest some kind(s) of 'ante' or delayed rewards in return for my allowing you to get in on a good thing." [Notice how the 'twitch' and the reward together push you and pull you into attempting to pass their test of your self-image, structured as a deal, transaction or relationship.]

Sentence #2... "I am offering you rewards so rich in possibilities that only your own efforts will limit how successful you will eventually become." [A strong yet vague also promise to assist you in getting whatever you want. At this point, no overt threat of loss, yet kind of implied.]

Sentence #3... "But I cannot tell you how much you'll get because there are too many factors involved." [A seemingly honest disclaimer -- also a great way of introducing and getting your willing acceptance of huge ambiguities to you about your costs and expectations, but not his or hers.]

Sentence #4... "Since by now you might be getting a little nervous about my proposition, in order to make you feel more comfortable about how wonderful I am and how great this opportunity really is, I am going to introduce you to other people already working with me and/or others who are also think highly of me." [This is his or her testing of your willingness to be influenced by the beliefs of others already perhaps captivated or 'captured'. How much have they already gotten -- vs. how much have they actually given up?]

Sentence #5... "However, I must be up front with you and warn you that there are others I am also talking to about working for me on this opportunity [an interesting way of using your fear of potential future loss to distract you from the certainty of the short term rewards you are now actually giving up] and parenthetically, I do reserve the right to select someone else for your place at a later time no matter how well you might be performing as only I have the right to measure your performance." [This introduces a need for you to always be increasing your efforts to avoid threats of being usurped, much like a "slot machine's" magnetic pull -- even worse, you are discovering you can never completely satisfy him or her!]

Sentence #6... "In addition, I shall continually be challenging your ability, and testing your sincerity to see if you are still worthy of my trust and eventual bounty [if you yield to this challenge to your critical faculties, you validate the other person's by now quite low esteem of you] -- so if you find any 'weaknesses' in me - and, even worse, lose faith in me, it will not be because I have failed to live up to your expectations. It will be because you have failed to live up to mine!"

Sentence #7... "Should you ever begin and keep on doubting me, I will have to break off our relationship and if you force me to do so you will lose all you've put in AS WELL AS all the opportunities you still might have for getting the huge rewards you may be now counting on."

Sentence #8... [By the time you realize that you will never be getting what you have been hoping for, you will have been playing your 'benefactor's' game long enough for him or her to have gotten all that can be gotten from you -- and at your cut-rate price... So he or she can look you straight in the eye and 'honestly' say,] "I'm so very sorry that it did not work out for us this time," though he or she is quite able to build on your very high-value-to-them and so very much lower-return-to-you foundation, "but thanks ever so much for being so helpful. Good luck, my friend, and let's stay in touch!" [And they will, for they have trained themselves to 'know not what they do' -- or, at least not to ever, ever, ever let on to you.]
