Searching on passive income streams all lead none passive advice ie investing. Get on a time machine and go back to 2008 pee-recession when interest rates of 6% were common with inflation less than a third of that. If you had a million to invest then you could return ?60k gross, and after reinvesting some of it to account for that and healthy 40k gross. Not sure where you get the time machine from. Otherwise peer to peer lending which has its pros and cons.

Sadly armoured car blagging isn't possible these days due to tracking technology and exploding dye security boxes


You could try extortion or loan sharking both slightly dodgy or the protection racket had a few vacancies in the area


Failing that set up as a local council and charge people to park on their own streets (shocking I know but good Money) then take it further and charge for taking away their garden waste which they have already paid for in their council tax, and fine anyone who's mad enough to put anything in the wrong bin, whistle too loudly or breath in fresh air 😉


Sadly getting paid to be on Jeremy Kyle has been taken out of the equation (just think of all those kids who will never know who their true father is 🤔)


Failing that, as pointed out earlier, go honest and do a decent days work


PS I think there are a few corners left locally where you can shake your booty to advertise the oldest profession !

The problem with working and most jobs is they are constrained in your earning potential by finite salary bands, bonus structure etc. 1 unit of effort in will only ever return 1 to 2x back in reward. Things get interesting for people who learn to scale themselves. Or who build some kind of product once and sell it N times. When you have that leverage you start making money without investing or conventional work. It can take on ab life of its own. Elton John does this. So does Jeff Bezos. The guy who started and scaled Franco Manca. Most people dont want to take the risk so salaried work prevails.

The link says "X offers a relatively low House Edge of 1%. This makes it a bit easier for players to make money."


Which means that in the long run on average you will lose 1% of each stake. Probably less than on a fixed-odds machine in a bookies, but still enough to enable the machine provider to be the one who profits in the long run.


Then add in the currency risk. Cryptocurrencies aren't the most stable. Currency converters presumably take a cut too.


Tell us about yourself, harryjosh. Are you one of the potential suicides, once they've lost everything and have a large card bill as well? Or maybe a gaming provider or one of their stooges? I think perhaps the latter.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
