calibro saidcoolarmydude saidHow is betting cheating? And there's no proof he fixed any games.
Admit Rose to the Hall of Fame already! It'll be a damn shame if/when Barry Bonds gets there before him and even more so if Rose is still alive.
it is when you're betting on the team you play for
Uhhh, no because athletes play to win. If a player is betting on his team winning, how is that cheating? He has to do his part to make that happen, something that he's already doing whether he is betting or not!! Think about it... and again, there is no proof he fixed any games!

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2004-01-05-rose-timeline_x.htmJune 26, 1989— Despite Giamatti's assertion the report is confidential, it is released to the media by court officials. Based largely on corroborated testimony of two Rose associates, Ron Peters and Paul Janszen, the Dowd report asserts that in 1985, '86 and '87 Rose had bet on baseball games, including 52 Reds games in 1987, at a minimum of $10,000 a day.
All of Rose's bets on Cincinnati were to win.If he's guilty of cheating, he is only guilty of cheating on gambling!!
