Default Pete Rose admits betting on baseball

Posted By: barrysloate

Even if he is telling the truth that he bet only on his team to win, that is still very bad. For starters, you can never believe anything he says. Also, to win a bet he could have left a starter in too long or put a reliever in too soon, or made any kind of substitution that he might not have made if he weren't gambling. And he knew darn well his team couldn't win every game, probably not even win 60% of the time. So do you think if his number five starter faced the other team's ace, he was still betting to win? Very dubious.
