Mall--
I think a large percentage of us who play this game have an above average level of competitiveness.
Look at some of the athletes who have been known to place a wager or two: ROSE, JORDAN, MICKEY RIVERS, LOU PINIELLA. Even 'ol DON ZIMMER (who is so competetive he wants to fight people at the age of 72.) All tremendous competitors.
But I agree with the idea that Rose is probably a sharp handicapper. Unfortunately, he also has a compulsion to bet on just about anything that moves. Betting on sports/casino gambling makes very little sense to me to begin with (who wants to lay 5.50 to 5), especially when you consider the value that exists in thoroughbred wagering.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
