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?
You sir, are a degenerate gambler (or were). I laugh, but not laughing at you. I laugh because I myself have been there, not as crazy as your story, but bad enough. I am still a degenerate gambler, but not Legendary status degenerate gambler. Way back when I was younger, I used to use money that was supposed to be for food and other real life needs to gamble. It was my own money that I earned, but still bad. I remember having to make do with ramen noodles and peanut butter sandwiches, lol. So sad.
Anyway, I've learned to keep my gambling bankroll separate from my real life bankroll. I don't have any kids, but I would never, at least I hope I would never ever gamble with any of my kid's school fund or any funds for my kids.
