It's also a way to get hangers-on to join him in attacking others in a personal way.

I call it psychotic performance art. He knows his set-up is just like Cracked's "We ReMade The Batman for $20." It's cheap and obviously fake and silly, but it provides him the opportunity to say vile things as a way to defend himself. It gives others a chance to flex their absurdist arguments so they can do the same. Mickey winds up saying "I have no reason to disbelieve Rob.Singer." Coach belly tries to find some Socratic flaw in the evidence that Singer didn't win any jackpot, while badmouthing the people who have calmly and seriously tried to explain the problems inherent in the Rob.Singer posts. Alan withholds judgement because he has an "open mind."

Why Todd allows this kind of stuff is beyond me.
I agree with this point of interpretation. Rob has been falsely representing himself as a successful gambler his whole public life. These aren't pranks.

As KewlJ pointed out in another post about this, it's noteworthy that Rob actually named himself after Bob Dancer. Sure it's a joke but it's also kind of intriguing, because he has essentially modeled himself after Dancer, the Las Vegas public video poker pro. He's like Bob Dancer's shadow. The fantasy of success rather than the reality.
