Which brings up the point from earlier; most glaring issue with the story as presented thus far: loving RESET dude! Call this one a wash, walk back out, and try again. Kinda weird they didn't even hint at trying that.

Yeah, if he was really playing it smart, he would just go back repeatedly and make the same bet to build up a really nice stash. He doesn't though, likely because the place and situation terrify him.

The "why doesn't he go back and kill Oswald early on and go back and see if it changed things" criticism is valid, but only for the book, since the portal is further back and Oswald was in the US (at a Marine base, though, I think?). As people have said, in the show it would be impractical. If the universe is out to get you, you absolutely don't cross a gigantic ocean, not to mention the hostile country once you get there.

I kind of wonder what would happen if someone went in the Portal in the two minutes while he was in there.

I'm really digging the intro for this show.
