Secondly, how did you miss the fact that we do not reside or come from the same country?
I didn't.
Harlots and hotels might be expensive in your country of residence, it is not so in mine,
It doesn't matter.
I come from Nigeria, ask other Nigerians on this forum, things might be expensive over here, but trust me, with as little as 500 to 1000 naira ($0.654 to $1.305), you could get for yourself a clean prostitute for short term which is between 10 minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the agreement between the both of you, and note, this does not mean that there are no expensive ones, but this ones reserve themselves for the money bags.
And again, with as little as 5000 naira ($6.27) , you could get for yourself a single room in local hotel where you are allowed to stay 30 minutes(maximum), if you wanna stay much longer, you pay more - and this again, does not mean there are no expensive hotels.
There will be prostitutes and certain hotels that are cheap from a western point of view, but the average income is also lower in Nigeria. Also, Iphones I don't think are much cheaper, and you say he bought two. Or are you going to tell me they were third hand and worth $50 each?
Then you also say that he moved:
...he left our neighborhood and moved to a better place and a bigger apartment,
and I don't know if you are going to tell me that move to a better place cost only $10 difference, but I have searched about rent in Nigeria and I see expensive prices, being one of the first results
this one:Is rent expensive in Nigeria?
RENT PER MONTH
Rent is really unusually expensive in a country like Nigeria. If you're looking for an apartment in the center of any of the major Nigerian cities, that will cost you a whopping 935.4$.
But that's not the most important thing, the most important thing is that anyone who has been in the casinos enough and knows a little math, knows that a gambler very rarely comes out positive more than three nights in a row. What you say he won in 3 nights is enough to buy a couple of Iphones, of the new ones, of course. But not to lead the lifestyle you say he led for almost two months, no matter how cheap the prostitutes and hotels there are.
I am really disappointed that in your quest to (should I say) catch made up stories, you don't even seem to know a story that is truly made up.
I'm not trying catching up stories in general, I took a stroll through the Gambling Section and I happened to read the story you made up.
Personally, on my end, I might have maybe failed or inaccurately explained somethings not actually as they were or happened, it does not mean the story is fake, and remember I said in the post that, I am not close to the person in question, even though I referred to him as a friend on my post, so note that most part of the story was based on what I was told by someone who I've always seen around the said person.
Okay, so you are conceding to me that the story may have some exaggeration or imagination in it.
... and what other way can a story that is more like a personal experience (that is not in the news) proven? I did prove it If I know how, or you guys tell me how..
It's the first time I'm being accused(based on my post) on this forum, and the first time I'm accused wrongly.
It cannot be demonstrated but it can be falsified, as happens with scientific hypotheses. When the story is based on a winning streak that is so improbable that it borders on mathematical impossibility, and contains a lot of inconsistencies about lifestyle, like cheap hotels and cheap prostitutes but buying Iphones and moving to a better neighborhood, it is false.
Peace.
Yes, peace on my part too, but don't try to make me swallow the story, I don't care if those who have commented on the 11 pages of the thread have swallowed it, or even stopped to think about it, just writing to meet their quota.
I reported it to be locked btw, but I see that the report is unhandled at least for the moment. I see no point in keeping that discussion going beyond 11 pages.
