in his 2004 book, "My Prison Without Bars," that Rose would admit he bet not only on baseball, but on the Reds....it appears he wasn't as good at gambling..as he was at hitting the ball.
An official investigation into Rose.. noted Rose lost $450,000 in a three-month span in 1987

I saw a documentary on the matter. I believe it to be the case, the dude would only bet on himself.
No matter the odds, and we all know how tough it is to win a game of baseball. One man can only do so much.
I think it rather admirable rather than frowned upon, the way he did it. He only hurt his own bank account in the end.

I think he should have been in HOF long ago but him betting on his own team still means he might have been making decisions based on his bet. If he didn’t lie after the fact he would have been in long ago. Feel like what should be focused on is how ridiculous MLB and Manfred look at this point, yeah we are filling our pockets on gambling money so maybe we can stop pretending what he did was worst thing ever.

He bet on many games other than the Reds and with his knowledge of those teams and the baseball writers of the day it just seems like he could have done better at handicapping the games.
