Pete Rose: Gambling on Cincinnati Reds in 1980s 'cost me $100 million'

Pete Rose was on the No Filter Sports podcast. He said his lifetime ban from baseball for gambling has cost him $100 million.

Pete Rose was suspended in 1970 by Major League Baseball for his ties to gambling. He gambled on Cincinnati Reds in 1980s and it cost him $100 million. The legalization of sports gambling in 17 states and counting will not change his thinking about being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Pete Rose bet $100 million on Cincinnati Reds in 1980s. He is not bitter about not being in the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose has been a part of almost every Hall-of-Famer since 1969. Pete is a perfect example of breaking the rules and he will live with the consequences. The commissioner made a decision and Pete got tied up with other commissioners. Denny Giamatti was a good guy but he didn't do anything. Now Pete won't be in Hall because of the new commissioner. It's like you can't step on the other commissioner's decision. This is 2019.
