works the same as for anybody else, but if he bet that his team would lose then he can be accused of losing on purpose, if he bets on them to win, if the team loses, he loses too...

The point being that if he is betting to win, he is managing to win. But, he didn’t bet every game. That’s the crux of the matter. How does managing to win affect the odds of winning the next game, when his bookies know he didn’t have a bet riding? Do you burn pitching when you know it is going to be needed in the next series when nothing is riding? Or use players when they should have the day off in consideration of finishing strong down the stretch?

If you were a bookie making odds, would you pay attention to what games Rose bet on and which games he didn’t? How about when he bet 1000 bucks as opposed to 100? So then what do you do to reward Pete Rose for using your book? Because he’s a pretty sweet client and he knows it.
