Sports betting would be the best because you could go back with very little money and eat them alive.
While you were in Vegas you could buy The Old Man a condom.

How would that work if the internet didn't exist yet?

Is that you, Biff Tannen?

The highest possible price laptop with every bit of possible information I could store on it. Go back in time to 1950 and use the laptop to completely rule the world.
This is the correct answer.

You're thinking way too small. You bring a laptop, with every algorithm and patent from the last 70 years stored onto the laptop, personally "invent" or "create" all these great ideas and make them into something of substance, and you would make the Rothchilds look like amateurs.
Forget sports gambling; become Thomas Edison times infinite. Gambling is highly subject to the butterfly effect which makes it worthless after mere weeks. If a technology works, it should work on any timeline and make you just as profitable.

I would take a stirrup back in time to the Roman empire and use it to make me the wealthiest man in the world (the stirrup was not brought to Europe until the 7th or 8th century). I'd like to see what a Roman Army equipped with the stirrup would have done at Teutoburg.
As far as just looking cool, I would bring my amp back in time with me to the mid 1960's, use its distortion to sound completely unique and become a rock icon, and then after a few years of touring and playing at Woodstock, I'd create a trust for all of my music royalties, fake my death, return to the present, and then have that trust ready to pay out. Then, I could be my own cover band in the present day.

Ever read Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles? They discover a saddle with stirrups after a battle and decide that it must have been made for a cripple. One keeps it as an oddity and many years later seven year old Merlin is riding it on a sawhorse playing soldier and all jaws drop when he stands up in the stirrups to swing his toy sword. "Ohhh, so that's what they're for."
But I think I would take a welding machine and equip an utterly invincible army. Stirrups would be one of many things I could fabricate for my boys.

I'd make sure to bring a extra supply of plutonium so I could get back.

A phased-plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. You can't find that in a gun shop in 1984.

I'd bring a light sabre.

I've thought the same thing many times, except with an Apache.

I bought a shamwow when I went back. In hindsight, I think I could've chosen better. Wish I would've waited until I'd seen this thread.
Btw, sorry if I made your life worse somehow. Good news is, you'll never know.

Loose diamonds that I could sell/pawn. No paper trail. Memorize every major sports winner/horse race winner. No paper trail. Move to LA write massive amount of hit songs over the next 25 years. Use that $ to partner/invest in Microsoft/Apple.

wall street journal or something else that would tell me what to invest in.

Anyone saying any electronic is kinda dumb. It would take years for corporations to build an infrastructure that would gain long term wealth. It is definitely the long ball approach.
I would literally make patents for anything worthwhile in our time now. Hence always leasing these patents and staying rich FOREVER.
I would even patent TigerDroppings.com
I would lease Apple their own future iphone designs hahahaha..
EVIL IS ALWAYS FUN.
