Definitely not.. in my opinion this would cause a big problem for you when you lose. I only use my personal or extra funds when gambling and that's it win or lose that's fine with me since I play smart and know to control myself and feelings towards gambling.
Using school fund is the most idiot idea a man can think about. Those money is for the future career, for your kids, for your future, too. If you use all of the school fund, you will definitely be punished. Gambling is only for entertaining so do not screw up everything just because you do not have money to join a casino

I did it a few years ago, for Greece won on 2004 Europe cup final againts Portugal, but im lucky that my school fund being double because of Greece won that match, after that i never bet/gambling with my personal expense fund..
Even it is a true experience, I like to suggest you not to share this here after as it might temp other new gamblers to risk their committed money into gambling. I mean to say we do not set wrong example for the new innocent gamblers. Because that might lead to big disasters indirectly.
The forum is a place to share our experiences since his response was on topic and does not include criminal acts or anything then I think it is fair for him to share what he did and what he learned, I think he got lucky but fortunately he realizes that himself and has stop doing those reckless bets anymore.
Agree he is just sharing what his experience before.. not all people are win in gambling but some people are actually making a good profit in gambling.. we have different experience and i think those experience can help you to prove that gambling is not a good way or source of earnings .
Gambling is made only to give entertainment like other said just bet you can afford to lose..
but i am not in favour of this statement that bitcoin is for entertainment only, i think gambling is formed for making money only and you cannot find any fun and entertainment in gambling if you are not putting money in gambling.
As i have read he didnt said that bitcoin is for entertainment only. He said gambling and you said it wrong and i do agree with his statements that gambling is really for entertainment and no one really forces you to play and as you said playing gambling does really need money in able to play.Risking money that is already lend for your education is not an ideal thing and i wouldnt do such thing too.

Yes, these type of sharing definitely will be misleading many new gamblers.

Actually I do not find the purpose of this discussion whether to warn about the dangers of gambling or just to share others experience in similar incidents. Anyway we need to learn some new lessons from others experience, that is more important.

No, because we can screw our future but damage our childs future its insane, i wont take any risk with the money that belongs to the childs, in fact i just risk sometimes a few satoshis, and those is from my earnings online, i dont use fiat to buy bitcoin, and i wont do that now, its too expensive for me already.

Well i think every responsible person wouldn't even think about gambling with your child's education. something as important as this should be left to chances and must be put to priority. for me even the earnings that i get from bitcoin, i try to save it for future use much more now that the price is surging. gambling is not at the same level of importance as education and bottom line is we need to make sure that important things doesn't get compromised in any way by unnecessary spending.

I wont risk that money and i would not play the money that are being reserved for my education no matter what. People do have normal thinking or mind would definitely do the same thing and i could say for those people that would able to touch and spend the money for school they are too dumb enough or stupid enough to waste those money just for gambling.

I don't think so, I would always put education first before gambling or any other addiction or vices that I might have. Education is just something that you're going to need once you're an adult to survive. It would be really hard for you to keep up with all the expenses most especially if you live in the city when you're not a degree holder. You will be forced to either move to the province or to work like a dog.
i also do not play with the fund of my children reserve for their education,  i even do not play with the money reserve for my daily expenses, i only play gambling with my pocket money that i can easy bare if i lose it.

That is the best thing to do. I wouldn't use my savings, my salary to gamble and surely I wouldn't use my children school fund to gamble. Their future is much more important than an unpredictable gambling game. Who do it is risking all the life of a child in 1 minute sometimes, if the player gets a long lose streak. Everything is gone in a fast gambling game. Total crazy who do this kind of thing.

Well, I would say that I did this back in 2014. My mother already deposited all the money I need to pay for school for the year and also some allowance for my daily needs. I gambled around half of it on NBA odds. I lost that half. So I lived on really cheap food and really avoided buying anything. I even tried to avoid buying things I need like books just to save money. Was a gruesome year for me, luckily I got through. Wouldn't do that again.

How bout you guys, would you do it?

This is the right approach to it since we must keep our gambling money and our expenses money apart so there is no temptation to use our expenses money in gambling that way if you run out of money in your gambling account you will stop playing and do something else.

Man if i were you never take risk when you had something to pay it will broke you life for sure how if you family knows what you are doing then you are probably going to stop going to school if you want money then why don't you tell your parents they will understand you than using that for illegal thing and using it for illegal activities.
There is a lot of people out there that is really reckless about their investing. It is a bad sign that you would invest something as important as a money given by your parents for a particular goal which is paying your education. I think this is a sign of early addiction to gambling with money.
I mean sometimes taking a risk is worth it, but you can't risk big amounts. Like risking 20 dollars back then to buy 100 BTC would have been a good idea if you felt like it, because its a reasonable risk.

I did this too way back 2012 when I was still in college and I spent 25% of my total fund for paying my tuition fee. Since I am that active with e-sports  betting because I was once a Dota player. Unfortunately, what happened is I lost that amount and that's why I stopped studying by that year because the cashier doesn't want to accept my payment unless I will pay in full.  Cry

I remember wasting a lot of time back in the day trying to become a professional starcraft:bw gamer. It was when e-sports where still very underground in the west and you were labelled a weirdo/nerd for even implying making a living off competitive gaming was a viable idea. I realized it was a waste of time. It's simply impossible to outcompete those damn asians. The south koreans are the best at those games and they get tons of resources to train all day.

I know that feeling of yours with my Dota-Dota 2 experience but it seems that it is not really for me because my parents are blaming me now for addicted to it. And if not just because of it I was able to graduate earlier and I don't have to stop. But I am already on the competitive scene by that time but because of that incident I realize that the money that was being gave by my parents to me for my school fees came from their hard work. That's why I decided to quit 2015.

If you are making good money with competitive gaming I would say that you should continue playing, but if you aren't a top player at age 20 then just forget about it because it's a waste of time. Also the thing with competitive gaming is the games don't last much, they always switch to whatever new games are trendy instead of playing the same game for 10+ years like they used to do with starcraft before the new starcraft 2 was released which btw looks like it was shit compared to the classic bw.
