Unless he was throwing games, it is nothing different.

In the 19th century, it was the norm for players to all put up a stake and the winner take the pot.

The difference between Pete's gambling and the Black Sox is that Pete broke rules and the Black Sox broke morals....

It's like the difference between driving 5 miles over the speed limit and driving double the speed limit. Both are against the rules, but one is also endangering everyone else on the road.
