To use the Pete Rose example, as long as he didn't bet on games involving the Reds, then what is the problem? He doesn't have any more control over such a contest than some random guy in Vegas, right?

Nevada - I agree in principle, especially now. However, "back in the day" before the internet, ESPN, etc., a person with insider knowledge over who was injured or had a death in the family and would not play, may certainly have an advantage on the spread, over and under, or runs scored, etc....just sayin.
PS - I'm no Pete Rose fan. Go O's! Boo Big Red Machine!
