while i kind of agree that i dont see much wrong with showing confidence in betting your team to win, there are problems that come along with it. whoever rose was placing his bets with for his team to win had an advantage over all other in the sports betting world. they would have the inside knowledge of the games that rose did not bet on. this would seem to show that rose was unsure of his team ability to be victorious in the game. while "possibly" not being profitable for rose, it surely was valuable, and profitable, knowledge for the bookie. now if rose had bet his team to win on every single game of the season that advantage would be gone and i would see no problem with that. i grew up as a huge rose fan and hate the fact that he screwed us all, his fans. but i hope that he is never enshrined in the glorious hall of fame.
