My Husband Made $80,000 in a Sleazy Way. Now He Wants to Do It Again.
Briefly

Grant won over $80,000 gambling but wants to use it for his children's college funds. His partner feels uneasy about the gambling method and is concerned about Grant wanting to gamble more. There's an acknowledgment that while card counting isn't illegal, the larger concern lies in the unpredictable nature of gambling as a financial strategy for children's education. It's suggested that safer approaches, like investing in a 529 fund, should take precedence over gambling risks for securing their children's future.
This is the most impressive way...you’re right to be concerned. I won’t get into the ethical concerns here because...I do know that card counting isn’t illegal.
What matters more are the consequences of gambling as a financial strategy—even if your husband is really good at it.
Start with the risk. What if he loses? It’s not like you’re trying to win money for a nice vacation—you’re talking about your kids’ future.
Why not just invest that $80,000 in a 529 fund and let compound interest work in your favor?
