Actually yeah now that I think more the bet one is better. You can literally cure all disease within a day and never die. That does actually trump teleporting. "I bet myself 1 cent the cure for cancer is x". "I bet myself 1 cent the first winning lotto number is greater than 5". So determine any bet is actually infinite knowledge, with some tedium to get to the answer, which allows for infinite scientific advancement (that you control even) which for all we know will end up giving you teleportation anyway.

You can't control the bet, only know how it'll turn out.

So, I bet myself 1 cent that the cure for cancer is pizza, you would know you would lose that bet.

It wouldn't make the cure for cancer be pizza.

You could win the lottery though, exactly by doing what you said, only you could do it a bit more (think there is like 50 numbers per ball in the lottery. So you would start with I bet myself 1 cent that the first number if over 25, and then you would know if it was over or under and you would do over or under 12, and then 6, and then 3, and then get it. Do that for each number and you win the lottery.

Though actually there would be no reason to do that at all, much easier/faster ways to get tons of money that wouldn't be as ...public....since you can tell what is going to happen before hand every time.

But yeah, you could figure out things fast, that had a select number of answers using bets like that, but not things like cures for cancer, space travel, teleportation, immortality etc.

Some of the other options could get you all of those things AND unlimited money.
