cheers for the pointers so far,….
well ive managed the start slow bit, nothing but reading (and more reading) at the moment, I didnt realise just how many people are out there stealing content, scraping sites etc etc !
I think I will just put up a couple of holding pages for these sites in the mean time so they get indexed, and continue studying the intricies of spread betting , CFD’s etc so when I do eventually get going the content might even be worth reading 
a few dozen more hours to master the basics of seo and I might be off the staring blocks!
that depositing player seems a long way off yet……………
