Time Travel Game: how would you make money?

[Stagger_Lee]

No prep time, nothing to memorise. You are relying on your existing memories for this.

during that time, I followed the Kansas City Chiefs religiously.

I could practically win bets as easy as "Bill Kenney will
fumble the ball on the NEXT PLAY for a defensive touchdown."

I could certainly remember the Superbowl winners as soon
as I'm teleported back and see who's playing.

Not to mention, baseball, NBA, the major tennis tournaments,
Kentucky derby, all the big sporting events, I'm sure as
soon as I saw who was in the game, I could recall it all...

Especially the NBA... that was the Michael Jordan era.
In the NFL, that was the year the Lions had Eric Kramer,
and they went 12-4, beat the cowboys in the play-offs,
lost to Washington, Pete Utley got paralized, and the
Redskins beat the Bills in the Superbowl.

Imagine placing a bet that a Lions player will get
paralyzed... someone give you 100-1 odds?

you're sure?!?! oh well!! then it was the previous or next
year i'm thinking.

but still, once you watched a game or 2 of the play-offs,
it would all come back to you, then go make your bets.

Turning in the Unabomber for reward money as well - not sure how much this would have been at that time.

Good answer. The DoJ gave his brother $1M in 1998.
