Default Re: Time Travel Game: how would you make money?

With this being 2+2 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned betting on who will win the WSOP. You'd get massive odds on Moneymaker, Raymer, Hachem, Gold and the new guy. Plus I'm sure you'd get some crazy proposition bets going with bookies. You wouldn't need to really remember the actual scores of sporting events, if you could remember some details. For example, I can't rememebr the exact score of the last World Cup final, but I do know that it was 1-1 before extra time, Zidane scored a penalty, got sent off in extra time and then Italy won on penalties. Or even better, bet on Liverpool to win the Champion's League Final in 2005. Put the bet on at half time when they're losing 3-0. I heard (urban myth) someone did that and got odds of 300-1 or something silly, although they only put like £10-20 on it.
