We all have our dreams and we all have different levels of risk we are willing to take. The ideas behind pick 10 are still at an early stage. Your feedback is feedback and i thank you for that. Please keep an eye on us over the next 18 months and see what happens.
Success comes in many forms - we must also look at ourselves and ensure we keep positive about life and the hurdles in life we come accross.
Thanks for keeping us in the news.

I'm gonna forget!
To be honest, I don't think I'll remember to keep an eye on you (I darent look at your site to see how much the "jackpot" has grown since I last posted) - and if you do actually make a profit, however unlikely that is, then good luck to you, but don't take too much risk and throw good money after bad. Now, that is sound advice. You could always try Jean-Luc's get-rich-quick scheme !!
The last paragraph has come from some management book hasn't it, although obviously not a cut and paste job!
No problem, you need all the help you can get :-)

Fame at last
Great podcast Steve and Gary, you came over really well - and I even got two mentions! I still think the footballwinners idea is flawed, unless you can get Ladbrokes to buy you out now, because driving enough sales through the internet will be too costly and your pot is too small (I won't comment how much its grown in the last fortnight because your mate will get all defensive again). Don't forget you only earn 70p for each bet taken, it must be costing you well over that to earn this, and negative margins are not a good place to be. Let alone expensive start-up costs.
And Jean-Luc? I was right about him!
