You can travel back in time for only thirty minutes: where and when do you go?

Caveats: YOU CANNOT PHYSICALLY INTERACT WITH ANYONE OR ANYTHING. ALL YOU CAN DO IS MOVE AROUND AND OBSERVE. You are placed in one city/location to walk around on foot for thirty minutes, completely invisible. You can see as much as you can moving around by foot in that time frame.

Ancient Rome? Could see it at peak Empire status or maybe witness the sacking of the city.

Ancient Egypt? But when, you have like 3000 years to choose from.

Nazareth circa 31 AD?

Ancient Greece? Ancient Tikal of the Mayan civilization? Machu Picchu?

Ithaca, NY on the night of May 8, 1977?

Watching Jesus carrying his cross would be pretty wild, assuming that really happened

Find the largest powerball winning drawing. Teleport to the drawing before and win said jackpot in full.

I would go to a small town and rob a bank. Drive to neighboring town and open a safety deposit box

I'd bring my vape rig with me. You ever see Jesus carry the cross... on dabs?

You can't interact. All you can do is move around and look.

Wouldn’t killing Gavrilo Princip make more sense?

I'd bet the house on Cam Newton winning the Heisman and Auburn winning the National Championship before the season started.

Also on South Carolina beating Alabama, if I have my dates right.

Let’s say you went with the sports betting one and could only bring $1000 cash. What would the play be?

Find a horse with crazy odds?
A 10 way parlay pays 825-1

How do you maximize?

If you can't interact with anyone or anything physically, you're basically just a witness to history, so most of the above posts wouldn't be possible.

I guess I'd want to witness something like the JFK assassination to see what really happened.

My hypo calls for no physical interaction whatsoever, but even if that wasn't the case, how would you maximize your bets in 30 minutes to collect and have in place for yourself to enjoy down the line? You aren't making a bet, getting a payout, and opening a savings account in a half hour.

Well you can go back to last weekend. Or yesterday. You don’t have to go back to 1846.
