Only two real options for the discerning cash-rich gentleman who enjoys a portfolio that is particularly risk laden.

The most obvious one of course for the uninitiated and slightly nervous is blackjack:

The second option that is open to the experienced investor who is looking for slim returns and extremely high risk exposure is agricultural contracting.

I get the feeling this is going to be a more and more likely scenario......

So what to do with cash?

Various pots to think about!
