    Maybe it's not the greatest idea, but it's not bad either.

    I agree with your girl.

    It's a stupid idea. For a start it's a Blogger account. Anyone serious would have a real site.

    Sorry dude, I have to agree with your girlfriend. It's not a particularly bad idea, but it's not great either.

    At least your trying to think outside the box.

    Could possibly work if you do it properly. But your not doing it properly. You need to have a real site instead of a blogger account and be properly registered and accountable, otherwise most people will think this is just a scam and hit the back button.

    The girlfriend wins this round!

    That's an understatement, it would seem not just stupid but illegal. The post seemed to be just some sort of self promotion to me.

    Any idea is not a "stupid" idea. The point is you have an idea, and what more can you ask for? If you work at it, and it doesn't end up working out for you, or becoming successful. Atleast you can learn a lot of good stuff trying to build it, promote it, etc.

    And if you like your idea, and someone else thinks its stupid. Who cares? Take facebook.com for example. Someone told the creator of this site that it was stupid in the beginning. The site is a huge success.

    Not saying that yours will plateau to a height of that nature, but just think.... If you listened to everyone who told you their opinion and you went on that basis, you would never get anywhere that you wanted to.

    Take it with a grain of sand.... An idea is always just an idea.... You have to build on that idea and make it a reality.. I wouldn't listen to her. Good Luck ;)

    Dammit Roman, I jumped off my chair for that :D

    @OP : I think it is not a so stupid idea, it is out of the box

    But As others said, It is not legal :(, so guess you gotta stop wasting time

    Thx, LeVampire

    well the penny lotto no longer exists, for now. I have taken the advice of most and I am going to set up an actual site, not a blog, and get legal matters dealt with. thanks for the help.

    I think it would be hard to market without it sounding like a scam. Especially if you host on Blogger.
