It may not be The Sunday Request, but I feel obliged to address a Twitter reader of mine on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
@sullybaseball @cmarsee3 Pete never bet on his team to lose, don’t see how that could cost them wins. I fail to see where that hurt the game

It is a legit point but one where I don’t agree.
I tried to address it via Twitter but I think it is safe to say I was not persuasive.
@sullybaseball @cmarsee3 well that just doesn’t make any sense. but i’m glad you’re formulating arguments like this. thank you for that

And he gave a little dig on his own Twitter feed.
Well I just got some clever insight to the idiocy of the people that still believe Pete Rose was a baseball criminal… thanks internet

So I will do my best here to explain why betting on games, even to win, doesn’t work in baseball.
I very well may be an idiot, but I have some point to make on this topic.
