Again how he placed the bets does not matter as the rule is you cant bet on baseball period...a rule he fully knew...rules are rules
Landis original rule in 1927 was betting on a game "you were involved in", I believe was the wording, was a life time ban...the Reds/Rose was directly involved in the games he bet on...the "he never bet against the Reds" argument is irrelevant and a moot point
