Seriously, I've got 500 pounds sitting here, and Ive decided that rather than just spunking it, I should try to increase it. What should I do? I dont want to do anything too risky.
Any ideas?

you think you can double your money without being risky? do i need a visa to visit this enchanted planet?

give it to me. I promise to give you back £1000 in 2020. Unless I'm dead. Or you're dead.

Give it to Barclays, they were able to turn an 18 quid overdraft into a 300 quid debt for me in only a couple of months. That was a few years ago too, imagine what they could do now....

Cut each bank note in half, then you'll have doubled your cash.

Low risk.
Put it in a bank account at 3% fixed rate. Come back in 23.5 years.High risk
Go down the casino and put it all on red.Posted 2 years ago # -
Seriously? Buying and selling. I've just doubled £75 to £150 and I'm no expert. No, sorry, I'm not telling you how either.

Dealing drugs. I think heroin has the highest margins

Coke dealing. With the average purity on the street an alleged 5%, get hold of some pure base and you've the potential to do a lot more than double you money.
Alternatively I believe Crystal Meth can be made from Cough Medicine.
£500 of cough medicine I'd imagine will pay you back ten-fold.Posted 2 years ago # -
especially if you cut it with something cheap
Nothing legal springs top mind except for gambling which is risky clearly?

Time machine + the stock market?

Stu McGroo - what rate are you using for that? Donald has it right above - if using an ISA of course as tax is an issue otherwise.
If willing to put time in then the money combined with time is more likely to get results. Buying cheap at auctions and selling on? Buy tired bikes and do them up to sell on Ebay?

Seriously penny shares can be worth a try - but you might loose the money as well.
My dad does this and with a stake of a couple of thousand usually triples his money each year - but some years he has lost out. It pays for the holidays - this year is 3 wks 4* in south america. so last year he must have done well

On the drug theme - how about methadrone dealing. There was a great advert for it on breakfast TV this morning, so you're half way there with the marketing.

Yep. As well,typically the spread is such that any money you would have made through an increase in price is just negated. Most people in the know avoid penny shares. They're penny shares for a good reason.

Buy some knackered old gas pipe racingbikes from the 70s and sell them on as fixers to gullible Guardian readers working in the meeja..?

You'd only need 1 in 10 of them to win a tenner each and you'll have done it! It must be likely, otherwise people wouldn't do it each week.
