There's a ton of turds in the world bro and he happens to be one of them.
One of our MANY conversations that we had in the past was him asking me if I knew the first steps for him to become a tout. What he needed to do, how he would market, how much to charge etc. Instead of being labeled a tout and without charging for a "service" he decided to ask for donations as he's been doing. In turn, he felt the need to make up false family stories and life stories to bolster sympathy and to make it appear he's someone that he's not in real life.
I don't think I've ever come into contract with such a pathological liar in my entire life.
He also doesn't bet on his plays he posts. He may do a small parlay here and there but that's the extent of it.
