It isn't as simple as betting on his own team winning. He could have been betting on winning by more than 2.5 runs. Maybe he's making decisions to reach 3+ runs that jeopardize the team from simply being up 1 run and winning the game. Maybe for the games he is betting on, he stacks the roster more than usual - maybe he brings in another starter to finish that game so it secures his wager... but then that pitcher has to pitch on short rest in a game Rose didn't bet on. People that can affect the outcome of the game have no business being able to bet on that same game. That includes Pete Rose. And I know it is hard to separate all of the gambling ads that show up in MLB these days - but they are a business. And they aren't encouraging the players/managers/owners to gamble. That is helping to pay all of their salaries instead.

[@bobjones8321]

Very well said! You’re one of the few that gets it! Most people think it’s OK for him to have bet on his own team to win…they don’t get it!
