You guys are not thinking about what would help humanity the most as well.

Teleporting certainly will get you infinite money and resources, but, it also allows you to literally teleport anywhere, including other planets, and there is no restriction listed on what you can bring (at least what your wearing). If you can actually bring other people, you could literally be the thing that enables humanity to spread out into the stars.

Technically telporting faster than light speed (instant travel up to a light year away), could enable you to actually travel back in time (the explanation would take forever, but it's true). And there would be no limit (you wouldn't be able to do the reverse though, so you'd have to be careful).

Anyway with teleportation depending on the limitations, you not only would have infinite money/resources, but you would have the ability to travel around easily quickly, anywhere you want, and the ability to help the human race (and possibly save it).

Money is nice, but a ton of the other ones can get you that in the right situation. The device that lets you get any currency in a video game gives infinite money as well (as many video games just use straight up cash), but there are magical forms of currency or high tech sci fi forms (or say Spice.....in a dune video game) that you could obtain as well, so that is WAY better than just knowing the outcome of any bet (doesn't mean you'll win any bet, just you know the outcome, so if you say, bet that you won't die jumping off a cliff, you know you'll lose, even if you try like 20 different places to jump, and just cause you do find one that you will win, doesn'tmean you will WANT to be alive after it).

Finally the device that lets you play any game as a VR game, depending on how good the VR is, could be insanely awesome (if far more selfish), since you could basically explore tons of worlds where magic works, or futuristic science works, you could go INTO shadowrun and play as any character/gender etc, and it would all be in VR. So if that VR was actually really lifelike, it would probably be the totally best and most awesome of the options personally (especially if it felt like real life, but if you die, it's just game over and you can play it again or another game).

I voted for Teleportation sadly as a knee jerk as it seemed like the best over all for humanity, but you know what, fuck humanity, I'm going for the VR option or maybe....the video game currency option (depends on limitations on both). Humanity can sort itself out.
