So, being bored on a Monday and inspired by the whole getting cash together thing in Dead Man Running, I got to thinking...

With a start of a £10 note, how many different ways could you produce some wealth for yourself??

...and how much could you accumulate from said £10, in a week?

I would stab a guess at the best payoff being buying £10 worth of a popular product and selling at a markup, repeating the process for the week...

What other ideas are there? smile

Similar to your idea, but not leagla in anyway shape or form, i would buy £10 worth of weed, cut it into ten sections, and sell it a fiver a pop.*
















  • in reality i would have nothing to do with the stuff, but seeing as just about everyone in doncaster makes a living from selling the bloody stuff, if i was desperate, then so would i

That is unless you lose the initial tenner biglaugh

To make anything worth shouting about from a £10 start up you would need to be a very gifted/lucky/dodgy person.

With proper bankroll management, $10, and some poker skill, the world is your oyster.

If you started with a tenor, you could earn some money busking.

If you started with a Tena, your incontinence worries would be over.

If you started with a Tanner, he'd probably leather you.

Bingo. Only played it one time, put a tenner on and won £225. This made the girlfriend jealous so she put a tenner on and came away with £80.

Buy an advert in the back of Private eye pretendng to be a single mum. Enough people do it that it must work, somehow. Use the proceeds to buy a belly top, a tattoo, 12 stella a box of fags and a massive LG telleh. Fall pregnent, become a single mum, there you go 24k a year benefits, and all the Leccy White you can keep down each giro day.

Send your ten pounds to me, along with a stamped addressed envelope, and I'll send you back details of how you too can make a living doing nothing except stopping by at the Post box after you've been to pay a handful of cheques into the bank...

The only way I know how.

Buy something broken, fix it and then sell it.

Scalp the UEFA games this week. £3-5 a time, once you've locked in profit, you can use the same money on another game. There are about 45 games going on so that's an easy £225. Actually, there are loads of games going on... UEFA Europa and Champions, Brazilian, Japanese, Swedish, Chinese, Singapore, U21s, Friendlies, Womens' League. You could turn £10 into £1000 with some cunning scalping and a bit of luck. Easy.











Easy. hehe

Or buy a bucket and sponge, go round the neighbours offering to clean cars all week. Probably gonna get you the most out of your £10 and fairly risk free. Unless you're allergic to detergent.
