[QUOTE="pickup, post: 515662"] I agree speculation. But when you bet on your team to win, it sets up a conflict of interests that wouldn't be there otherwise. You would like to think good judgement would prevail in choosing the correct interest, but if pete rose were able to exercise good judgment in this matter, he wouldn't have bet in the first place. And you mentioned the mob in the other post. As soon as he bets one dollar with them, he is in a position of being blackmailed by them into doing their bidding lest they drop the dime on him. And if he is into tremendous debt with them, then he can be offered a chance to knock down that debt by losing a game.(sure thing for that particular mob can push their bet onto another gambling house.) I'm not saying any of this happened but it definitely could not happen if he didn't bet with them. This is in conjunction with the fact that a gambler's mind is not rational at times, and can really do stupid things in an effort to deal with consequences. [/QUOTE]
