In an interview on the Dan Patrick Show, Pete Rose admitted he used to bet $2,000 per game.

“It was like $2,000. That’s it,” Rose said in the interview. “And it didn’t change — because I know you’re going to say, Well betting’s all about pitching and stuff like that — I didn’t care who was pitching for me or who was pitching for the opposition. I just made it easy for the guys making the bets and just bet this much every game and that’s the way we did it.”

Reflecting on the past, Rose is very dissapointed in himself for gambling away all that money away. Instead he wishes he would have spent the cash on more valuable things in life like steroids, hookers and cocaine.
