This book was written by an addict. It is 344 pages of the same stuff. He originally was writing it as a daily self affirmation on why he needs to quit. He had to utterly convince himself that there was no chance that he could win or anybody could win. So if the rake doesn't get him it will be the RNG or bots or the site just draining you bank account. If you read it line for line it is just a constant reminder to himself that he can't succeed at it. Almost like reprogramming the mind.

I believe that he thinks that if some people are able to make money at the game that his ego won't let him quit. So instead he needs to train his mind that no one can beat the game. Now I am guessing it has become a crusade for him.

Like many things that people passionately crusade against he lives in the extremes. His rake example is completely ridiculous and shows that mindset. The author is not someone who can have a reasonable discussion about the subject. However, for his problem this is what he needed to do.
