[Finance] How would you make £50k from £1k

So what you're saying is that the windfall is enough to cover the new car, the home improvements and the £50k debt, but only just.

What you would like is to pay for all of that with the windfall and still have £50k left over as a nest egg?

So all the window dressing aside, you just want £50k and are prepared to risk £1k in the process?

Let's face it, a 4900% return on your investment in a short space of time is VERY unlikely to be achieved, so there are two options as I see it. Either something you will enjoy doing (so you get something out of it when you lose the £1k), or something quick (so you don't waste loads of your time as well as the £1k).

If you were to opt for the latter, here's my punt for an 8-fold accumulator:

PSG vs RB Leipzig - PSG to win (4/7)
Man U vs Atalanta - double chance: draw or Atlanta win (Evs)
Ajax vs Dortmund - both teams to score? YES (4/11)
QPR vs Blackburn - both teams to score? YES (4/7)
Benfica vs Bayern Munich - Bayern win (4/11)
West Ham vs Genk - West Ham win (1/3)
Club Brugge vs Man City - both teams to score? NO (17/20)
Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool - both teams to score? NO (11/10)

£1000 returns £49,090.91

You're welcome. :thumbsup: :lolol:


Well that bet is f#cked and £1k down the drain.

Brighton factually.....
A £500 E/W lucky 15 , 3 favourites around the 7/4 price in 8 horse or over races and a outsider in a 8 horse race of over 12-1 , odds are you will get at least 1 winner and 2 places which would cover the total spent so it gives you the option of another punt, obviously I wouldn't bet that sort of money but if I was given the grand that's how I would try to bump it up.

Probably the worst advice ever…

Not least because a £500.00 e/w lucky 15 is 30 bets and would set you back £15k just to place the bet, when his budget is £1k.

:lolol:

(It's worth looking at this chap's other tweets as there are quite a few business ideas he has tweeted or retweeted many of which, with a bit of graft, could work very well)

Sadly the realistic answer is to use it to start some sort of business. Even if you buy some stock and sell it on. You'll need to invest time to do it as if was a magic button everyone would make that risk every year if it paid off.

Something from China like tens of thousands of condoms that you then sell at a big mark up like Amazon in packs of 30 and ship out to people online. Had a mate do exactly that and he made enough for expensive family holidays every year so come up with your own twist. Something that doesn't expire.

I need £50,000.
I can afford to lose £1000 to try and get it.
If you were in my position what would be your preferred method, gambling, investment or other.
I have time but would like it ( if successful) ASAP
If gambling on a horse at long odds would you go all in or over various races at shorter odds.
This is a serious question I'm genuinely interested to give me ideas, I am not a serious gambling person, but dabble from time to time.
Lottery and premium bonds are not the answer.

For a guy that has constantly labeled me as an idiot in an aggressive repeatedly way for ages.

I now understand why.

I would love to advise you on your plight to grow your 1000 pounds, but 1) I feel you would not accept it 2) Your logic would not match up with mine.

Tragic scenes.

Who knew?!? ???

I really thought I'd cracked it, but as it turns out, the bookies know exactly what they are doing :lolol:
 








online casino, vip section , hi limit roulette.
£100 on red or black , odds/even, hi low.
If you win double up. It only takes six correct to turn £100 into 6400.
so u have ten chances to get 6 right. win one of those then u have another 64 chances !
NB in online casinos i play the table limits are max 10k on odd/even.

i did ONCE in my lifetime double up EIGHT times - turned £5 into £1280 but i have witnessed TWENTY ONE , yes 21 straight blacks, then a zero and then 15 reds. This was a computer controlled roulette. Having said that ive seen live , the same number (10) hit four times on the trot the odds of which are over 1.5MILLION-1 !.
 






1000 into Arweave.

Hold until near end of bull run, sell, rebuy in again at bear market prices, hold.

yeah so bl00dy easy - so prey tell what date is "near the end of the bull run" . And if you are that clever why would you stop there. simply swap from a long position to a short position and cash in , in both directions.

I mean seriously what an asinine statement. Bet you predicted the 33% price drop (albeit breif) at the beginning of september when ETH fell from 4k to 3.5k and then next day from 3.5k to 2700??

You seem triggered.

Who said it's easy? There's always risk. It's determining what action has the lowest risk v reward if risk isn't your thing.

When certain sectors of crypto go on big runs then it's an indication the cycle is nearing its end. Do you look for those signals?

I'm clever enough not to be greedy or to bother with leverage trades. In doing so I minimise my risk and make decent money following that principle.



The question you should have asked was "were you able to take advantage of price drops", not did you predict x events.

I don't make predictions, I look for opportunities.

Good causes have made £510k from selling places on days with Olympic athletes at zero cost. So it can be done quite easily.

Mummy will buy you some more from the toy shop?

Buy what schmuck?

I don't need any money.

I believe that's almost 3000 of your pounds.

That's but one I can draw some cash from if your mummy comes knocking at my door looking for some work.
