I don't know why anyone would believe a compulsive gambler would take a sucker bet that he knows is impossible to win. I.e. it is not possible to win every single game you play, but you really believe that Rose only bet on the Reds to win? Come on. First he never gambled. Then he did gamble, but it was only in favor of the Reds.
Give me a break. If Rose did bet on the Reds and bet big, then he would expend all of the resources available to him to win one single game. That could throw the next game, or series of games, into jeopardy. For example, Rose has a ton of money on the line for the Reds to win. He uses all of his pitchers in an effort to win the game. Now he has no one available for the next game. Isn't he sacrificing tomorrow for today in this situation? No one sees a problem with trying to win for personal profit over trying to win for the good of the team? Last edited by packs; 08-29-2014 at 09:04 AM.
