Why didn't Jim Cavaziel tell his dad to bet on sports?


They could have been Trillionaires.

I posted that question once. He did tell Gordo about Yahoo though so he did use his knowledge to get him rich

It's probably because he saw Back to the future 2

The son wouldn't have had to - if the father was a gambling man or loved money, I'm sure he'd have taken the initiative himself.

They were just too busy preventing wife/mother to get killed.

for 30 years?

For the time relevant to the film.

Probably could have found a few minutes for him to place a bet somewhere.

Maybe he didn't want to mess with the future any more than he had already. He told Gordo to remember Yahoo, and was trying to save his mother, because history changed when he told his dad about going the other way in the fire. Didn't want to press his luck!

Because he didnt want him to turn into Biff Tannen.
