Does anyone think time travel wasn't involved in F/G's winning the bet on the outcome of the Quidditch World Cup?

I don't. The duel in the Ministry of Magic eventually destroys all of the time turners. The capacity to go back to the past is lost.
Here is what Jo says about it in a recent interview:
ES: How on earth did Fred and George know that Ireland would win and Bulgaria would get the Snitch?
JKR: Well, I think that if you were really into Quidditch you could have predicted that. What they had -
ES: But how can you predict that, because you don't know when the Snitch is going to show up.
JKR: It was a risk. They risked everything on it. That is Fred and George, isn't it? They are the risk-takers in the family. You've got Percy at one end of the family — conform, do everything correctly — and you've got Fred and George, who just take a totally different life path and were prepared to risk everything. They risked all they had, which is as much as anyone can do.
