My knowledge of the Rose scandal is dated, I'll admit. I was under the impression he bet against the Reds when he was coaching them. If he didn't, or it wasn't PROVEN so, I would be surprised if he didn't. You don't get much more of an inside opportunity to make some money on sports betting, then to actually be in control of a team you're betting on/against.
It would be nice to assume he was somewhat ethical in his actions, but I highly doubt it. When you have what amounts to a sure thing, why pass it up?
You know, same reason the players shot steroids? A sure thing?
Human nature. But I'm misanthropic in a lot of ways, so maybe it's just me.
