I would never gamble money that is set aside for something that is important like your child's school fund. People just need to control them self's when it comes to gambling by setting aside an amount each week they want to gamble with and stick to it. And never chase losses because people tend to lose even more by doing so.

an addicted gambler will do anything to gamble even it's your family fund
they always make the situation worse as an addiction will never ended good
to avoid something dangerous like this people have to realize early
go for consult if it's necessary.

Lots of students are doing what OP did. They spend all the money intended for tuition fees by partying or gambling. Afterwards, if they need to pay,they create fake projects to ask for more money from their parents. Not a good thing to do but it happens.

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?

Hehe...I did it in the past when I was 16. Each months my father always give me the money for my school fund but I used it to gamble and to have fun with my friends. I did it for about six months before my father realized that I never give those money to the school. My father got very angry and didnt trust me anymore when dealing with my school fund.

Now I have completed my education and that thing came for the first time to my mind so I never gambled with my school fees and as I do not have any child so for the time being I cannot say that what will I do at that time when I will have a child as no one can predict the future.

I would not even think of doing that, school funds are school funds, I do not ever gamble if I have limited or low amounts of money or have only money for food and school funds. I only gamble if I have more than enough money for spending(which I never have).

I think its a bad idea to gamble anyone's school funds(need not be just your child's). Always remember that you should only gamble the money you can afford to lose. So thats not something that you could afford to lose. Education is one of the most important factors that could make one's life a lil easier in the future. Just gamble with some spare money but not with something that would be a basic necessity.

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

No, I wouldn't. It's so irresponsible and desnecessary... Money for children school belong to them, adults must respect what belongs to the children.
Their future is very important to be wasted for an adult on a fast gambling game. Money for gambling is that money is remaining after you pay and save everything you have to during the month.

I'm glad that everything is behind you now, but honestly this is crazy thing to do, and I would never do something like that, not even in my wildest dreams.
I like to gamble, but I know how much I can spend, and I never go over that, and I never borrow money to have for gambling.

I was very sincere with my schooling and did not think about to do any thing like that and so now I am happy so I will never like to gamble even with my child's school funds. I will not like to destroy someone life for the sometime entertainment of me.

If you are having a problem with gambling it is better to consult a doctor rather than gambling with the future of your child.These kind of people will ruin their family and i would not dare to do so even in my dreams.

Whatchu talkin bout? Doctas don't treat gamblin' addiction. Especially after this fool done went an' gambled away his school money. You lucky yo parents didn't bust a 3rd semester abortion on yo stupid ass.

Obvously not, that is just freaking insane. When you are given money to do something for free, you should not gamble it in a damn casino, and it still aplies to the market casino, you should have used it for its initial purpose. Studying within itself is an investment in yourself. Of course, studying and working sucks when there are people making tons of money on the internet, but I have always failed to set up a website or whatever and get money, so im stuck with a god damn job.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure...

What kind of lowlife gambling addiction pisses away their educafion in hopes of some quick money!? Hey moron! If you get your degree you'll make 2x+ on your salary for your lifetime. That's not a gamble. Don't be an idiot.

Oh ya, no I wouldn't gamble away money that's needed. I also wouldn't buy fucking heroine with money that I need for my dog to have surgery or to pay for Christmas presents. This is disgusting. You should be ashamed of your addiction.

Well I am not young anymore but surely any money my parents gave me for my daily spendings in high school and university I spent 70% of them in gambling through different casino. This was pocket money for me and I never regret doing such things. I used to go with the 10 Euro the minimum to play in casinos in my city and played slots there and got a lot of free drinks out of this 10 Euro. In the end was a great experience for me.

I think I would not spend my child school fund though on gambling as that is the clear example of gambling addiction. I am not addicted (yet).

I am not that young so that I can talk about myself, and I never committed such mistake for myself.
When it comes to my child, I will definitely not do that because I can't compromise with the education and future of my child and so, I won't gamble too much, at least not my child's school fund.

It is a bad idea to gamble money for schooling in the first place. OP is lucky that he is able to stop at halfway. At least he still have money for important projects or at least daily budgeted allowances.

I would never have done, betting my school fund. I always see how my parents work hard for money to the point that they need to borrow from their friends because there are 4 of us studying college at the same time. I wasting my allowances to gambling is a no for me.

Thats crazy. I wont and i cant do such thing. I wouldnt prioritize gambling over school. If the money has been set into a one important thing then dont use it into another one especially gambling.

Yes, OP's incident clearly shows how he values education. But at the same time we need to think about how people are treating gambling and how much faith they are having within gambling for making better fortunes from it. Lack of awareness about gambling dangers is the prime reason for the problems of OP.

As a former shit, good thing you did that and experienced lost. If you managed to get winnings out of your risky actions then definitely you will feel the experience of being a winner. And by that you will continue you gambling life even you loss big after that since you want to feel that winning experience again.

Sometimes we really need to experience worst before our heads bumped and realized what's the wise thing to do even we are into gambling.

P.S Back in my studying days, it's really hard to spend all my school funds into anything else other than the main purpose since I know how my parents worked hard for it.
