They say they are a relative from the future and they are here to tell you to gather all the money you possibly can to and gamble on the Kentucky Derby, then gives you full results. It will make you rich.

He then says he can only give one result as more risks altering the future.

The derby is in May and he shows up one month before and as proof gives you the exact score of an NBA game later that day and he gets it right.

How much do you gamble on the race?

"But if I become rich, what's to guarantee you're even ever born? If you were from the future, and risking your very own existence on making me rich wouldn't that make you.. dumb?"

He doesnt say it will make you rich simply refers to the fact having race results would make you wealthy due to long odds.
