Default Re: $3 billion in rakes

I don't think the exact numbers probably are accurate, but the general idea is.

Basically a lot of peopel are spending hours and hours playing ("wasting" a lot of time) to lose a lot of money or to win a little or break even.

The number of people making serious money is very low. Without any rake, the number of poeple making money would be higher, but with that much rake being taken, not many people can be winners. It's probably impossible to really calculate this though, unless you knew the average loser's loss, how many players there are who play for real money, etc...
