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

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???

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!!

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.

There is no point making a killing then getting caught out one day and ending up a b1tch to someone called 'Big Dave' in the local pen!!

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!).
