    Custom branded poker and online sports betting website.

    Kind of like Bodoglife.com but better.

    Not only would I offer casino, fighting, etc, but flights, hotels, cars, ya dig?

    Just do what I'm already doing, but hire some more staff to get things growing a lot quicker.

    I'd invest 50% in time deposits 35% in mutual funds and the rest in the stock market.

    Like someone said would enter in compet market like poker, pharma, etc.

    P.S. Don't forget that 99% of people (including me) who will reply/replied saw that money only in movies and in pictures on the internet, so that will not give you right answers, especially in DP, take a look at B/S/T section for example, people fighting for $1.

    Thanks for all the responses guys. I am leaning more towards a nationally known ecommerce site. I am in the floral industry so im looking to compete with the big boys like 1800flowers and ftd.

    Pretty good option


    when you are competing with 1800flowers or some big ones you must have dedication+patience

    1800flowers see to be dominating market you my also try

    pet clothes,food etc great niche


    you can beat then with SE ranking or PPC ads only mouth talk can get beyond them

    example
    c28.com they are 1# on their main keywords we manage to get 1# on all their keywords for my client

    but we manay only 30% or less sale compared to c28.com

    because they are leaders for 3 years ,all got habitted to that returning customers and mouth talk

    Good BTW

    Yes buy a site with a fraction of it. Hire a team of a webmaster maintenance person, and a super seo. Make sure they are super tough keywords. Let them handle the site. If your in america, i would save the majority of that money, put it in the bank cd for 6 months to a year then buy a few real estate properties cause in about 6 months to a year is when we are going to have some great deals. Real estate is much more stable then the stock market.
