YOLO Adventures

We'll provide a game for really rich people.  An adventure game or murder/mystery. At some point, we'll rig the game so the rich bastard thinks its not a game anymore but an elaborate plan to scam all his money.  We'll put him in situations that seem like they're life or death but provide a way for him to always come out unscathed. Maybe bury him in a shallow grave in Mexico that he can escape from. We'll replace all the bullets in his guns with blanks and when he tries to break up our scam he will think he accidentally shot his brother. When he tries to kill himself by jumping off a building we'll have an airbag on the ground for him to land in. Then we'll reveal that it was actually a game.

Before you take a loan to start a business you should watch this:

Great point Emo.

Lucky for us most of 'clams ideas don't require so much capital that a big loan is needed.  Plus I'm pretty sure I can steal a pony for the pony ride portion of the business.

Realistically, if I was starting a business I would want know I have a customer base locked in day 1.  May mean "stealing" business from where you work now if you are doing the same/similar.  Do it, don't feel bad, but know that you are burning the crap out of that bridge.

Gonna be serious for a second, and sorry if luked because I only read pages 1 and 4, but do you think a good recruiting/press service that followed Kansas State Athletics would be able to succeed?  Is there enough of a market to be viable, or has GPC (ignore the good recruiting/press service for a second) saturated the market?

After watching the movie "Blow", I always wanted to start a drug business

Bet those guys wish they had stayed in Manhattan Beach peddling weed for the rest of their lives.

No way would he have gotten to bang Penelope Cruz selling weed.

I think a person could make a go of it.   Many have tried, few have stuck with it. 

If you tackled your job with as much conviction as Brian Gates did years ago, then you could make it work.  He rough ridin' phones it in now, relative to what he used to do, but everyone over there is the same way now.  The are ripe for the picking.

They are getting by on the robust Rivals network (it really is the best) and people who enjoy what D_Scott writes (read: old people and very casual fans). 

You build a better mouse trap, and they will beat a path to your door.

Due to recent constitutional amendments there will soon be ample business opportunities in the recreational weed smoker market.  Was thinking a BYOP (or all-in-one shop, depending on how regulations pan out) bar/smoke club.  Nugs-n-Mugs.  Keeping a record of this in case any of you steal the name.

Good luck making any money with that when you:

1: get paid by way of premium memberships and/or pub from the client website
2: aren't getting any money from the target website because all you can really ask for is that they stop being mean to the client website, and the target website mushed the eff out of that demand anyway

Next thing you know, you'll be too broke to follow through with your $50 charitable pledges.

Everybody knows the best part of making a charitable pledge is the public acknowledgement of making the pledge, not following through and actually paying money.

How about if you included vague threats and called some of the owners by their first name?  I'm just spitballing here.
