£4.02 UPDATE £150

[The Artist]

I have £150.

Now in all seriousness, I want to hear what BCF would do with that. I am not looking for a long term project but something with some sort of return.

I don't want to gamble it so no poker but I suppose it will have to be some sort of gamble to make any decent return.

[.....]

Add £4.02 to your paypal account.

What do I win?

[The Original Muzza]

Paypal Roulette/Poker on the likes of 888.com. Of course you might lose it all but then again it's £4.02, not even enough to pay a Pole to clean your house for an hour.

From then on, I and the bicycle feelings deeper.

A Nigerian type scam asking only £4.02 as an initial handling fee. You could offer complete strangers some kind of prize or holiday or something, I'm sure you'd easily get it illegitimately somehow.

Otherwise.... take a lesson from the man on ebay who started with a paper clip (I think? or a pen) and sold it always making a profit and buying something else on ebay working himself up to one million dollars or something.

Edit: yes, personally I would go the poker route. Playing sensibly in low stakes games is basically robbing small amounts of money from inexperienced fish.

Nice little footy treble backing odds on favourites?

You could withdraw the £4 and leave the 2p just incase it all goes tits up.

Take the £4 and do this.

I'll take some sort of cut if this works out for you lol.

I would do poker but

1. not many places accept paypal

2. nowhere will have a min deposit of £4 or less

I'm pissed off... I tried to snipe a dj mixer and I would have had it for 3 pounds (worth 80 new) but I forgot to change my Spanish adress and it said: Could not bid, seller does not ship to your country.

Could have made a nice profit on that if resold...

[silky666]

I will give you £8.04p for that classic piece of antique £4.02p

£150 + lots and lots of free time will mean a big enough return on many, many things. You can be an enterprising person and buy some cleaning equipment and go door to door and charge labour or even offer to clean and polish cars. You could buy some basic tools and offer to service your mates motorbikes,

So many things you could do.

Good call, Alexio. You could buy a second hand mower and strimmer and some cheap hand tools with that. 10 hours of work and then it's all profit.

So where did the £145.98 come from then?

Well I am pledging £150 to my money making scheme but have got a little more. Sold my old 50cc geared bike and have some spare cash.

Just thought I would let you guys know, I don't have that much free time in the days, I am either working or at college apart from Sundays my day off and even then I work sometimes.

[Steve H]

Pffft, trust you to change the goalposts...

Villa 5 - 2 Burnley
Real Madrid 6 - 2 Villarreal
Porto 5 - 1 Braga

Money making schemes? How old are you ffs? If you're under 25 the only obvious answer is 50 quid booze, 50 quid drugs, the number of an easy woman and a 50 quid hotel room.
The money you'll save on sexual frustration therapy (rapin', is what the kids call it these days) is more than worth it.

LOL you have a paying job and are debating how to make more money from £4.02

If you can buy yourself a non-runner there's always money to be made buying and breaking bikes and cars, but I think you'll need a little more than £150 to get started.

Sell fags to school kids.

Or you can make more money by selling school kids to fags.

[5v3d3b0]

Why wouldn't I be able to get a mixer for 3 quid? Sometimes you get lucky and nobody bids.
People here have gotten fairings for bikes for like 1 pound
