Ok, I have been a man of leisure for nearly 2 days now ... and I have to say I am liking it :cheers: :)
Although financially ok at the moment, I don't have enough to last indefinitely ...
So ... I am now on the lookout for a get rich quick scheme ... :smt024
Anyone got any ideas (serious of silly, I don't mind ... sometimes even silly ideas can sporn proper ones 8)).

Go to a Casino and use the "Double on Lose" method @ roulette
Patience and loads of time seem to be the prime requisite for that.
Or try your local bookies for an electronic version where you dont have someone seeing what you are doing

Ive always thought of buying bikes and breaking them and selling the parts on ebay, Ive brought and sold alot of bike parts on there and they seem to fetch really good money, when i smashed my sv650 i worked out i could buy it back from the insurance and turn it into £1500 - £2000 of spare parts and id enjoy doing it too.

Too much like hard work and dealing with idiots!! :rolleyes: ... you will only end up with tonnes of stuff that no one wants anyway :(

Here, what I could do is go to an e-bookmakers and bet on things that only have 2 outcomes. Like betting on a team NOT to lose (i.e. even if it is a draw they didn't lose) ... then bet on BOTH sides/people but at slightly different odds meaning the resulting payout is guaranteed to make you at least a small winning, or if the odds are such that you can win reasonable or break even (depending on result, i.e the odds are such that you simply get your money back or money+x depending on who actually win) then all is well ...
I take it different bookmakers will have different odds and therefore this might be possible??? :smt024
... think about it ... if you can make say a 1% return during a day and you have bet ?50,000 (remember this is guaranteed as you are betting on both sides, so the £50k is never in jeopardy) that is £500/day ...
not bad for a days work 8)
I'd only bother working one day a week and take the other 6 as the easy life if I could get that sort of return ... I don't think 1% is that optimistic is it?!?! :scratch:
Anyone ever done this?!?!? 8)

In a way, for football, bet on the favorate. then when they score, the odds change instantly, so then bet against them (lose or draw) and then you are gaurenteed a winning.
This does depend on the favorate scoring 1st or taking the lead at some point in the game. Although I have done the same thing when the favorate goes 0-1 down. bet on the old favorate at massivly inflated odds. when they equalise, bet against them.
None of these are fool proof though.
havent tried exactly your stated method

Gambling is for mugs .. or lucky people! ;) I wouldn't GAMBLE £50k!!! :shock: are you mad?!!?!? :shock:
Therefore I don't want to 'gamble'!! :smt018 ... just play the odds/bookies such that I only bet on stuff where the opposing odds are such that I am guaranteed at a minimum to always get my money back - potentially win biger, or ALWAYS win a little :)

true, but if you are going to gamble you might as well only do it when the odds are such that beting in the manor i described gives u a very healthy chance. No different to stocks and shares in a downwards trending market.
good luck with your idea though. Im sure it will work but the odds are likly to only change by 0.1 - 0.3 in my experiance before the game/event goes live.
Only two ways to get rich quick, inheritance and crime. Anne's looking over my shoulder and suggests combining the two:smt104

Yup you could use a few cars and bikes so big guns and a bank, it quick it has money, though making it far with the money is another altogther;)
I have never won anything, so I guess I will be at work oh in about 8 hours.

Well if you're gambling, then go to the horse racing (or online), back the favourite at every race.

Point is presuming the bookies are all thinking the same sort of way, the margins are bound to be small, but put enough cash in and that doesn't matter ;) ... for instance 0.1% of 50,000 is £50 ... do that over and over and you are making money ... if you KNOW that the odds are such that it is impossible to not at least get your original bet back whatever the outcome (but potentially win the £50), then who cares??? 8)

No, I am not gambling, that is the whole point!! ;) We all know there is only one person that is gonna make big every day gambling ... and that is the bookie!! ;)
you open a company called the @rse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in @rse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollox. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, @rse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!

That isn't your idea Hovis!! :rolleyes:
It was a good one first time I heard it ... and indeed, even if only 2 in 10 customers are too embarrassed to put cheque in, if you can get 100 customers a week, that is £500/week (less stamps and envelopes) for doing feck all other than post off the cheques :)

SoulKiss, I wouldn't be so sure on that score. There can be someone watching at any point in time. All that needs to happen is the staff in the shop flag you as "dodgy" and give our call centre a ring. Heypresto, we're VNC'd on the terminal and have CCTV access to the site. We can watch what the machine is doing, and what you're doing to it on CCTV (so long as the machine is covered).
Anyhow, I have a few get rich quick schemes. One is illegal, and would be silly of me to post from work (or on the org). The other is completely legal, but I'm not sharing. :money::smt077

There is no point making a killing :money: then getting caught out one day and ending up a b1tch to someone called 'Big Dave' in the local pen!! :D
I'd rather make a less, but legitimately than have the potential of ending up in a situation where my freedom is taken from me and I am getting my behind 'violated' every day in jail!! ;)

Agreed wholeheartedly.
The other prospect I have involves me doing next to nothing, for a decent annual figure. Negotiations have started, and so long as they don't fall through, I will hopefully be self-employed again (only without the 18hour+ days this time!).

Not needed. :lol:
Outlay will be approx £200/month, with income definately more than that.
I am considering renting office space too (if I can find any local enough), so you could be my cleaner if you wanted, minimum wage suit? :lol:
seen the film 21?? learn how to count cards and try it in the UK casinos!! of course this means you also need to learn to be a mathimaticl genius with the ability to carry out lots of calculations in your head at once.
Blue, more serious suggestion for you...
Setup in business helping people emmigrate from this 'orrible hell hole of a 'nation' that we live in.
I reckon the main reason most people DON'T emmigrate (despite wanting to), is not knowing how.
You could do everything from organising flights, through shipping belongings to foreign lands, and even helping people find work/apply for visa's etc etc. Obviously charge a mark-up for providing this service.
Look at how many customers you'd have just from the .Org. ;)

If you are truly interested in the gambling route have a look at MoneySavingExperts Gambling forum. Lots of people do that route, and make a lot of money - BUT it is extremely complicated, very intricate and you always should be prepared to lose your money. Rule 1. if you can't afford to lose it, don't gamble

1) Online poker. There seems to be a lot of bad poker players out there, so buy a book and get betting. I saw a program where a guy made ?2000 in just a few days with online poker. Then he lost it all. But that's not the point. Poker isn't so much gambling as there is skill to it and plenty of addicted bad people.
2) Race other people in old school cafe racer race offs for ?50 at a time. Offer in front of weekend warrior's mates and he won't be able to turn you down :)
Just find somethin you can sell online. You could always import knock off SV parts from China and sell them on here?

Blue, the gambling thing is just a form of arbitrage (you know they guy called Spitzer, ex NY Distract Attoney and high class escort service patron that was in he papers recently). The form was market timing and created massive problems fo financial industry but there are major companies that make just on the difference of values. Quantatative investment programs look at discrepancies in the markets for potential profits. You would have to take huge bets to make a living though.
I don't know of any get rich schemes, you need a get lucky one. With your tact and persuasive talk, go sales young man. The next alan sugar?
