Earlier quoted context omitted.

Any chance of going into detail on this one for the curious? Automated in what way, putting bets on low odds results? Through an API? If anything I'm interested more in how it works than how I can do it myself!

Things like BetFair let you place bets both sides (unlike some shops like Ladbrokes where you are betting against them). This allows you to track the current betting prices and create situations where no matter the outcome you can make money. There are a few places on the net explaining this in more detail.

~$50,000 USD per year in dividends from individual, public stocks, which isn't bad considering I do not seek out dividend payers specifically. Was earning another $25,000 or so renting out an apartment, but sold that recently to look for a larger property.

$1000/month from adsense on my free background picture (no attribution required, use it for whatever you want) website. Kinda looks like crap, but I'm afraid to touch it because it's such a steady-eddy producer. I add a picture every month or two, and get <10% of my traffic from direct search. Has so many links from Uni's and articles on where to find free stock photos that traffic just rolls on it.

I built a B2B SAAS app about 18 months ago. I neglect it now, as I took a full time job (living in NYC isn't cheap, and I needed a better living situation). It brings in about $1,800-$2,400/mo. I'd sell it if I had a buyer.
