    Rose admits to betting on Reds every night

    Pete Rose revealed Wednesday that he bet on the Reds "every night" while he was manager of the team and that the Dowd Report was correct when it said he did so.

    I guess that means he felt his team could win every night and managed them appropriately.

    Good to know.

    Now put him in the Hall where he belongs

    Im a supporter of Pete in the hall but there has to become a time when he just goes away for a while.

    Re: Rose admits to betting on Reds every night

    Rose's earlier take on the Dowd Report:
    "It was a hatchet job, a piece of crap."
    "In my judgment, I don't think there are any circumstances that justify his return to the game... If you let Rose back in, then the message to anyone who gambles and gambles on the game is that if you throw enough of a public relations tantrum and admit that you did it, then you ought to be back in the game."

    John Dowd On NPR 2003

    Would keeping your best starter in when his arm is a little sore or pitching your best reliever 5 games in a row qualify as managing them appropriately?

    Those things might have happened if he had a few grand on the Reds.

    It really is a great question.

    Also, does anyone believe now that he wasn't betting on games he played in from time to time as well?

    17 years ago would have been better timing, Pete.

    lol, so true. If he hadn't played the denial game for so long, he might be already in the HofF.

    From my days in the restaurant world in Cincinnati, where a lot of "middle man" work between bookies and their customers went on, I have it on pretty good authority that he was betting thousands of dollars per week on the Reds. But it is also likely that Pete didn't place the bets himself; he probably had one of his gym buddies was doing it. Whether it was the same amount or not I don't know, but it was pretty common then for regulars to bet the same amount every time.

    Trivia- anybody know where the center of the Cincinnati gambling universe was back then?

    FWIW, the Reds managed to beat Pythagoras nearly every year Pete managed.

    I sincerely wish Pete would just go away. Continued exposure does him no good IMO.
    School's out. What did you expect?

    Pete would likely be better served to keep his mouth shut on those topics. He can't be believed and saying he bet on his own team to win every night is the only tenable position. What is likely to come out of Pete's mouth is whatever tripe he thinks is the most self-serving at the moment.
