Wow, that’s a lot of money back in those days.

 

[Monos89]

Well, at least he knew when to cut his losses instead of doubling down

She won big! Enough to pay back 5 whole dollars...

Remember that 5 dollars used to be worth a lot more than it does now, thanks to inflation.

According to this inflation calculator I found online, $5 in 1913 would have bought you the equivalent of $165.04 today.

This story is set in the Wild West, which lasted from about 1607 to 1912. Being a western places it closer to 1849 - 1890, meaning $5 would've been worth even more back then than $165 is worth today.

Assuming an average inflation of 1% from 1849 to 1913, $5 back then would've bought...

• 1849: the equivalent of $308.63 today
• 1890: the equivalent of $205.31 today

... which is quite a lot of money. It's pretty insane that Evans chose to lend the equivalent of $2000 - $3000 without expecting anything back. Even more so that he chose to go all-in, knowing she's still a gambler.
