Wouldn't his growing influence and wealth effect events, rendering the almanac useless?

the mob/fbi would have taken him out, or forbidden him to ever gamble and monitored him constantly
Brayden Taylor
It would keep changing like how the photo does in the first one.
Luis Stewart
Good question. It would but it would cause the book to change. Like I'm saying the text would change to reflect the new winners.
Lucas Reyes
The almanac would automatically revise itself like the shifting photographs.
Bentley Gutierrez
Holy Shit, I didn't even think about this.
Julian Scott
but it was written in a future that no longer exists. if his actions effect the almanac then his actions could easily result in it never being printed.
Jeremiah Wright
The company that produced the book would not exist in his timeline. The book would match the old timeline and sports events results would largely not match by the time he became big enough to be noticed on a national level. At any rate he could just bet on the games that were not close, check the box scores to ensure the same players were involved, etc and by the time he had enough money he wouldn’t need it anyway
Jayden Nguyen
yup, this is how time travel works in BttF universe. If Marty failed to get his parents back together, he would have ceased to exist. It happens in waves, slowly, it's possible biff never noticed the changes.
Elijah Mitchell
He only bet a few times early on and then used that money to buy businesses like the toxic waste company. Did you fags even watch the movie?
Robert Peterson
>I didn’t think of this
Because it’s retarded. The Alminac publisher wouldn’t even exist in this timeline. The sporting results would match the old timelines results and begin to deviate once Biff become successful and influences the economy significantly. It would still be largely accurate especially for events where the game was not decided by a single play and all of the players in the box score were present and healthy. The Alminac wouldn’t be useful to him anymore anyway because he already got his seed money from gambling early on in the process and could just build his empire with the assets purchased from the winnings.
Zachary Taylor
But then why did the photos change?
Grayson Phillips
Maybe Biff was smart enough to buy the company and make sure it's published. But look at weird shit like the matchbook. If Biff had never bought matches for his detailing business, would they become blank, would their molecules transform into some other product they were comprised of, or another disappear completely?
Jonathan Green
The photos still existed, they were just photographs of empty space. The weirder question is why would those photographers take the personless picture in the first place?
Jayden Wilson
Okay but nobody would take a photo of an empty space. And it certainly wouldn't have been carried around like the family photos would have.
Kevin Stewart
If the future changes, then biff never would get the almanac, which means the future would be the same and the almanac would be accurate.
James Morris
couldn't you just copy what was in the almanac and save that knowing it wouldn't exist in the future if you fucked with it? Like Pen and Paper copy you 5th graders.
Kevin Rogers
Correct. Biff made a good amount of seed money very quickly and invested it into industry. He's a caricature of 80s Trump, but he's only the de facto boss of his small hometown. Probably not even a billionaire.
Eli Baker
He made feed money you fucking simpleton
Cooper Torres
Seed money?
Owen Morris
Yeah well you're forgetting one thing...

Did he steal it? I thought he was broke.
Zachary Miller
Probably easily counterfeited in the future
Gabriel Perry
Wasn't it explained that he only made one huge bet then used that money as capital to make himself rich?
Chase James
No, the montage implies he's the "luckiest man on earth" because he kept betting on winners. is right, the mob would have killed him.
Carter White
You never taken a picture of a well before?
Time is elastic; The reason for taking the picture would always change to justify the different pictures existing.
Angel Anderson
biff is based on trump for a reason
look up his uncle and tesla's notes
Grayson Gonzalez
Why would they disappear one by one? And why would their image disappear, but Marty's memory of them wouldn't?
Luis Clark
Technically Marty, as the youngest, should disappear first as the likelihood of his birth decreases.
Cameron Ross
That makes just as little sense as the older ones disappearing first
