You could do something on Alpha Centauri, instantly teleport back, and then make a bet on what’s going to be observed in 4 years time.

You'd be seeing Earth's past at Alpha Centauri. You have only the information you take with you through the wormhole (the present), and information that has been travelling through space for 4 years (the past). You have no information from the future, and I've never seen a convincing argument as to how it would be possible to cheat this via instant travel.
