    Remember Rose wasn’t betting with a Legal Sports Book at Vegas he was betting with individuals he later referred to in Sports Illustrated Article as Scumbags.

    He wasn’t just betting on MLB and was losing heavy on other sports those guys he calls Scumbags weren’t impressed with him personally, his past heroics or number of hits they wanted paid.

    He sold the bat he set the hit record with to pay off his gambling debts and probably lucky he got caught when he did.

    Think he made more money off being a controversial character on the outside looking in as he turned it into a cottage industry.
