The past few threads I have been reading have to do with making money, not having money, or whatever.
I was thinking it would be a cool idea to have a solid thread about real ways to make money, and which jobs get the most money. Sure we all say "Make house music" "Buy X and sell it for Y"
But most of us don't do it, or if we try it's not successful!
What works? And how is it done?

Besides getting a job of course. I was thinking opening a small resturant or something of the nature. In my home town there is a cafe that is ran out of a converted house. The rent I would imagine, wouldn't be too much because it isn't really a commerial building. And depending on what you sold for food, you could really make a ton of cash.
But what I have heard is that the government really picks on small businesses in terms of taxing and fees. So most businesses join these SMALL BUSINESS OWNER unions of some sort. Is this true?
What would the start up cost be on a place that sells really cheap foods (like pastas and stuff). Anyone with exsperience?

I've got a couple of things I'm working on now that I'm hoping I'll be able to develop into money making schemes. However, I'm not holding out hope. I would like to supplement my income though.

Would be cool of a bunch of people from the XLTronic community got together and tried to do something ... not so much out of greed but more just to see if we can actually do it :D
Donate the money to SPCA or something :D

Apply to be an extra in a film/tv programme. You get more money if you can provide your own costume etc. Apply to be one of those people that stand in a line and the victim of a crime has to point out the criminal. Be a mystery shopper, where you can earn up to £100 a day.

A safer more legal way is Houseflipping.
First you need a job and a good Credit rating!
Get a mortgage, but a fixerupper, fix it (repaint it, buy new appliences/bathroom stuff, lay hardwood floors or carpet, rent nice furniture) all within one month before your first mortgage payment is due, then put it back on the market at a profit. Use the profit as a downpayment on your next one and if you are lucky you will have full ownership of a property of a similar value of the first one within 18 months.
Watch out for bank charges/realtor(Estate Agents) commisions and Capitol Gains Taxes.

Or play roulette:
Bet on Black or Red if you loose double your bet, you will win your original stake back. repeat
There is always a chance that red, 0 and 00 will come in 8 times in a row and you will hit the tables maximum bet. Also Casinos don't like peole who win so you could always get asked to leave and they tend to do this after you have lost three or more in a row.

It happens, don't take any money into a casino that you can't afford to loose.

I've tried the whole casino thing. It's generally a bad way of going about making money unless you're really disciplined (which I am certainly not)

It is very easy to get greedy or to try and win back you what you have lost quickly. Casinos will know this and usually, before they ask you to leave, they will ply you with booze to get you to change your betting sytem. In Las Vegas they will send over a Patsy, usually a hot girl, to try and make you a bit over enthusiastic!

Using this sytem you can make around $100 an hour but one day you will loose, if you are working as a team (one bets black, one bets red, one bets odd, one bets even) together you wont loose, but this will always get you kicked out really fast. This is how the Arabs did it in Las Vegas in the early 80s, which is why you will never find a limitless roulette table and if you do tell me!!!!

No, the lower the odds the better the bet 2-1 (or just under with 0,00 [1 in 2.36ish]) is slower but safer. Choosing one number just in case that 1 in 38 comes in, is stupid, but will come in eventually.
