Steroid use and Gambling are the same in any sport, especially baseball and let me tell you why, if you?

don't agree tell me why with a well thought out answer. The reason why I believe steroid use is ogous to gambling is because they inevitably are the same thing, let me explain. Let's say you're a player or a manager, and you call your bookie to place a wager on a MLB game. Let's say for instance you are betting on a Red Sox/Yankee Game, and you take the over for a dime, meaning you are betting $1,000 dollars on the game and you are taking the over in total runs scored, Las Vegas sets the lines. Let's say the over/under for this particular game is 9 1/2 runs. That means if the combined total is 10 or more, you win. Ok, here is where the argument comes in that steroid use by ballplay players is just as bad as betting on a game, especially the over. Because, if some of the Red Sox players like Manny, Ortiz, etc and some of the Yankees like Giambi, Rodriguez, etc are juicing (on steroids) they are more apt to hit more home runs and inevitably over-inflate the total runs scored
