Fay Vincent Betting Quotations

We think he made money betting on baseball. And people are stupid. They say, 'Why do you care if he bet on his own team?' Well, that is the point, you care because that night when he is betting he brings in his best relief pitcher. The next night when he isn't betting he can bring in anybody. The game is corrupted.

Almost always he bet on the Reds, but some nights he wouldn't because he didn't like the pitcher. He didn't like Mario Soto and some nights he wouldn't bet when Soto was pitching. So then the bookie knows, 'Well, Rose is not betting tonight.' You can imagine how quickly that traveled.
