    I was chatting with my sister who said her partner was haveing a competition with his mate to see who could make the most money over 6 months with £10. I thought that sounds like fun. Anyone want to join me?

    So you have £10 how can you make it into more?

    -Gamble and win?
    - Buy stuff and sell for more?
    - Quidco offers etc
    - Lend it to someone and charge interest
    - Save it and make interest

    Get the idea:confused:

    one more thing if you buy something for £10 then sell it for profit (take out any fees) if you make £10 profit you will have £20 so you can do something with the £20 to make more money.:j

    So anyone got any ideas or want to play?

    They do say you need money to make money.

    Who can make the most in 6 months?

    I am off to put my £10 into a free scratchcard site then withdraw it so i can use the £10 to make free scratchcard money everyday!

    That sounds fun Jen :), I might play along in a couple of weeks when I finish my job, but I don't have enough time for anything extra at the moment.

    I actually think it might work, but you should set out te rules ie start and end dates. How are you recording it etc

    yeah i have posted that it will start on the 1st Jan and run for 6 months.
    I guess challangers will have to post what they did with the money and how much they make lose as they go along then a final amount at the end

    someone posted that that once you have turned the £10 into £50 matchbetting would really boost it!

    I thought that matched betting would probably be the best way to make it grow, but I'm still too scared to try it lol.
