Rose is unlike almost all addicted gamblers in that fortunately for him he has access to constant amounts of money. Any time he needs an extra $25,000 or so he can just do an autograph show, write a book, get paid for an "exclusive" interview, or something else. Unfortunately most other addicted gamblers cannot do things like that. So Rose does not totally feel the consequences of the disease of gambling like most other addicted gamblers do.
One day I believe all major professional sports teams will have mandatory polygraph testing, especially in regards to gambling. The mandatory polygraph testing will have a preventative effect similar to how mandatory drug testing can prevent someone from doing drugs knowing that they'll be tested for it.
