On a given day there can be as many as 40 tracks in north america running 8-12 horse races each. If you know the exact order of finish in each race, you could parlay $2 into literally millions.

I could get in about 1000 bets in a single day with in-match online tennis betting. Of course, after I win the first 10-15 bets my account is getting shut down.

I'd spend all day/night jotting down what I could. I'd try and focus football mainly and maybe get the final results from the other big sports too.

even though I'd hate to do it, i'd pop a Ritalin just for old times sake and rake in what I could.

Last day of March madness, use the completed bracket. Tons of games, nba is also in full swing. Go to vegas and play parlays and big upset games. Quicken loans has also had a billion dollar prize for a perfect bracket the last couple years I believe

I wouldn't try to make any money. I'd just get PJ to make all of the predictions beforehand on the MSB and then I'd watch tigerdroppings burn to the ground

Opening day (the real one, not the play ins) of march madness.

I think he means all the events happen tomorrow so you'd be wasting your time

I would go back in time to 1913 and put as much money as possible on Donerail, a 93:1 underdog that won the Kentucky Derby. I would then place all of my winnings in Standard Oil stock and upon returning to the future, I would be the world's richest man.

I'd go to the day March Madness brackets are released and fill out the perfect bracket.

Also I would bet on every first round game.

good point.

I usually read the OT when I'm wasting my time.

We have a winner. The money Rockefeller made after standard oil was broken up into 20 companies would be equivalent to something like 800 billion today. Just crazy sick.

IIRC Rousey was a 30-1 favorite over Holm.

Throw down $10k and walk away with $300k.

I am sure there is a better example somewhere in horse racing though.

Good idea, but does not answer the question. Almanac for a day in the future in order to make a bet today, no mention of traveling back in time

Simple, I get a March Madness bracket for the future and use it to bet on winning a perfect bracket. It would make me a multi multi millionaire overnight.

I've had sports almanacs so you got to consider what's in them

NCAA brackets yes, random horse races and daily baseball scores no
