I understand why you would not want athletes to throw games on purpose if they place a large bet for the opposing team to win, however let’s say I am a pitcher in baseball, and I place a bet for my own team to win, wouldn’t that only motivate me to play better because I stand to win more money by doing so?

Theres no way I can bet in myself as a pri baseball player and actually win. For example if I am Reuben “Lead Pockets” McFrenulum of the Pawnee Little Sebastians, and I bet on myself to go 4 for 5 with a cycle and 7 RBIS. A ridiculously good game to be sure. And I am 4 for 4 with a cycle and 7 RBIS after 7 but The Little Sebastions are down 13-11 when I come up to the plate in the 9th with two outs and the bases loaded. If I get a hit the Little sebastians win and I lose my bet, If I strike out The Little Sebastians lise but I get my money. And now you know why they call me lead pockets.
