According to the Dowd report, which included a diary of bets that Rose made on Reds games and many others it listed bets on 390 games over all, 52 of them involving the Reds, in a three-month period in 1987 Rose developed a consistency of not betting on certain contests.
In particular, Rose stopped betting on Reds games that Gullickson started. If Rose bet on his team to win other games but didn't bet on Gullickson's games, he was sending a signal to the bookies he was betting with that he, as manager of the team, didn't think much of his team's chances in those games.
Since I know nothing of basketball, I really should comment here. To Pete Rose I would say something I heard your governor say in a film tonight to a terrorist who was hanging off a missile on said Govs. Harrier----"Your fired."
