No, the donot mean the same thing..
1 have you got some money with you. Means, at this time, are
you carring any money.
2 Have you got some money. Means, do you have some money.
Either with you, or, at some other place. It could actually mean
both.
Hope that I have not mixed you up.
Have a good day.

No. Number 1 is asking if you have money with you right NOW, but Number 2 is asking if you have money at all in general. For example, if you ask Number 2, I can answer YES, but it could mean that I have money at home or in the bank. So the two questions are different.

Basically the two sentences mean the same thing. But the first one might infer that you might be asked to produce it now, so you are being asked if you have it with you, in your pocket or in your wallet. The second one could mean the same thing if the person is habitually cutting sentences or very brief in his way of talking. Or if he is usually quite free in using words, he might mean, "Do you have some money, some where, not necessarily with you at the moment."

No. The first statement is asking specifically if the person has money with them. The second just asks if you have money, but does not specify a location. Just guessing here, though. Good luck.

They are mostly the same, but it could also depend on context and whether or not the person you're asking is a smart-aleck.
For example, you could ask your friend, "Have you got some money?" and he would say yes, so you say "Can I borrow some?" and he would reply, "I don't have it with me... it's at home", or something to that effect. But the basic intent of both sentences is the same... it depends on how big of a jerk the person you're asking is.

No, they are different.
Some money with you - implies that you are carrying money on your person at that point of time
Some money - asks whether you have money, but does not beg the question of whether that money is available immediately.

They do not mean the same; but, both are poor English. Have you got - should be do you have.

in a word, yes.
i might have money, but, i might not have it in my pocket (with me), it might be, somewhere else, like in my bank account, or in my car.
there is a difference, but it is slight, and most people would interpret it to mean the same thing.
