Twenty Five Thousand, what to do with it?

As the title says really I have £25000 short term not needed for anything else. I have until the end of May. So far the most exciting and highest profit suggested to me was to go to the gambling advice board and I have done some reading and asked for some help there but I am still not really convinced by it all it smells a bit too good to be true. So what would my other options be for a high/quick return?

    For such a short period there's no high and quick return, you can always try investing in shares but that could go either up or down.

    Other than that, standard savings account won't pay you "high returns" if you can only leave the money in there for just over a month, but at least those returns are guaranteed!

    You need to specify how much risk you are willing to take with your money really.
