[Closed] How can I turn £500 into £1000

I dont want to do anything too risky

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.

if anyone has the answer the whole world would be interested!

hah, well i dont mind a bit of risk, I just dont want TOO much...

Put in front of a mirror. Worked for me

Its much easier to turn £1000 into £500 as i have done.

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.... 😆

Haha, I'm good at that as well Stonemonkey.

Loan shark it

Can I be of service to you, good sir?

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.

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. 🙂

Buy £500 worth of lottery tickets

OR

Buy £500 of crack, give it to your GF and bingo, instant crack whore. It'll pay you back handsomely in the long run.

Try NATIONWIDE they did it for me £35 quid O/D into £450 o/d in a very short time. 😈

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.

especially if you cut it with something cheap

Nothing legal springs top mind except for gambling which is risky clearly?

put it in the building society, be worth a risk free £1003.38 (even more than you want) in 2080.

Scrounge cheap parts off the classifieds then stick them on ebay.

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

Are you any good at tuning full sus frames?

On the drug theme - how about [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methadrone ]methadrone[/url] dealing. There was a great advert for it on breakfast TV this morning, so you're half way there with the marketing.

My experience of penny shares is most of them rarely change price as they aren't traded much - you do need good information on what to get. Often they're companies on the verge of going bust....

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.

Invest in a movie??

there you go

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

Buy £500 worth of lottery tickets

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.

Go to the casino ... play roulette and chuck it all on red or black 🙂

Track down the local gangster buy a gun and a balaclava, get yourself down the local bank and turn the tables on them. then with the change go to Boots and buy some vaseline (just incase it all goes wrong). jobs (possibly) a good un.

On the nose or each way?

On the nose or each way? Came in 3rd I think.

Blimey my clock must be slow?

Yeah I was being a 'div' and read the 'predictor' on a site as being the result...

...or I do have that time machine. 😉

I reckon it'll be too short for EW
