Oh, come on. He didn't bet on them every days. So there were some days he was, in essence, betting against them. And it also means that there were some days where he had more of an incentive to win than others, so he plays/pitches guys on the high-bet days, when they should rest, and then doesn't play them other days.
the only way to even plausibly make the argument is if he had committed at the outset to bet the same amount on the reds for every game, every day, and couldn't change. once he's picking and choosing his days, he's saying some games matter and others are throw-aways.
