Are bet for Paralympics available on bookies?

I watched some matches in Olympics but I did not bet on any one or any team. Even I did not bet on their football because it is very unpredictable.

I prefer to bet on football club matches instead.

I'm unaware if there are any bets that bookies will allow us to take on paralympics.
I checked on stake.com and couldn't find anything. If the biggest crypto bookie site doesn't feature markets on these events then I guess it's going to be rare to find any.

Paralmpics get little viewerships and lack of interest makes markets very unpredictable because also very few people know how to set the odds for such an event, and the athletes themselves don't get much press either. So the interest would have to pick up first, somehow maybe each country could advertise its paralympic mission more and therefore a peak in interest would likely justify it for bookies to maybe become sponsors and start hosting some of these markets.

OP, what do you mean by "is it ok if we talk about Paralympics" ? Of course it is ok to talk, watch and support them. They are the same people, but instead they put even more effort during their trainings and try to perform even better than regular athletes.

Yesterday I have watched opening ceremony. Huge respect to all athletes. In fact, I liked ceremony more than regular Olympic games opening ceremony. Sadly, I can follow the results mostly online, as local TV network does not show Paralympic games, but only show final achievements during evening news.

Even if they are available, I will hardly come up with odds on games to bet on, first because they are not our regular athlete's we can easily predict their performance on the games they are involved in,  except for the paralympics I hardly see any other games that involves people with disabilities perform so well. I will rather just sit and enjoy the games and the beauty of watching the incredibly things they do.
If for any reasons I will make any bet, is at the middle of the events when I've seen the strength and abilities of athletes on what they can do, then I can easily make predictions, that's if there are available bookies.

this is part of the reason why most of them feel like they're being marginalized. With representative that's almost more than those that were at the main Olympics, the intersest in the event is very minor.

Thier sports is not always pronounced and unlike in the Olympics when we have regular faces and teams you can make you bet on, it's going to be tough for bookmakers to assign the right odds to some of the events since both the athletes and teams are not popular. I've watched some of the clips of the previous Paralympics running competition and yesterday was officially the first time I had to see them run live.
I was able to watch part of the event yesterday evening when they had I think a 400m race for the and an 100m race for the female. If I'm not wrong supper sports has a dedicated channel they have opened to show what's going on at the Paralympics.

I don't think there's an issue talking about the Paralympics. It's a sport so why not.
The problem is, we are in the gambling discussion but there are no available lines to bet for it. So, it's either this thread will be put off-topic or somewhere else because of the unavailability of gambling.

It's actually entertaining to watch them play and I actually did bump into one game in the Olympics where I found myself finishing the race before I switched to another channel. :D
Well, I do hope they will add some lines before it begins later but if not then I doubt there will be one in the next ones.

Why not, it's an event and a competition, people go there to compete so they don't feel marginalized, and ignoring the subject only makes it worse for them, we're not talking about beggars on the street, it's people who work all day long to prove something.

As for betting, there aren't requests for those, but the games lack an audience unfortunately for them and then there is this feeling some have that you shouldn't bet on people with disabilities, calling it a medieval behavior, there are even influencers who call such bettors some really bad names, in the not only you have small viewership but also betting is frowned upon, so bookies tend to avoid the headaches altogether.
Here is an older article on the subject:
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-37256061

I believe to be the only sports where cheating does not happen as these athletes do not care much about gambling companies and the bets are equally correct here, much different than in any other sports. That is why I don't think there is anything wrong to talk about such athletes and celebrate their way of life that despite having some kind of disability they go and compete against each other, this shows the true spirit of competition as it should be in any sport and not impacted by corruption, as let's say the truth sports does only promote diversion, no racism and equality only in theory, in practice in there a lot of corruption happens. People can still be bought and that is why in our days you can find a lot of jobs and work to do yet we have lost humanity, I find it hard to see some humanity almost everywhere in the world.

I just heard about paralympic sports, is it the same as the Olympics in Paris?

In fact, I think it's so unfamiliar that bookies very rarely offer the option to bet (correct me if I'm wrong) but that's what I know, the Paralympics, not everyone knows what sports are in this tournament?

Or if someone already knows there are gambling sites about this bet I just want to see what odds the bookies offer.

it's a special games that's organized for the physically challenged so they don't feel left out of the global sports. The events at the Paralympics is almost like the events at the Olympics, the only difference is that it's mostly sports that are peculiar to thier abilities that are featured at the Paralympics. They just completed table tennis games where great Britain won against Nigeria. Other sports like table tennis, badminton, track cycling and even swimming get featured at the Paralympics.

Once odds are available for a particular event, it becomes like any other sport and still unpredictable. I haven't bet on this kind of event nor watched it, so I don't really know if sportsbooks offer such odds. But if they do, I'm sure it's not a popular market, and the betting limits will likely be low or available on only a limited number of sportsbooks.

About the quetion in the OP, yes it's alright to talk about it if we can bet on it.

Are you talking about the Olympics in general, which many people know is a competition played by athletes with disabilities, if yes, of course the Paralympics is one of the sports that I often watch.

I'm interested in watching the tournament, because there are many games that are competed in the Paralympics, such as archery, biathlon, cycling and many other types of sports games that are competed in, I like that they do it with cool modifications.

What is certain is that it is a type of international-based sports competition and is popular with many sports fans, but I don't know whether any such competition is implemented on crypto gambling sites, but I have never bet and found the Paralympics on a gambling site, but if it exists I think it is an extraordinary and good thing to bet on.

These games aren't popular with the crypto gambling site because I couldn't find them in a particular site where I do bet, and I will agree to second poster who that this topic can be moved to off-topic since it's not mostly talked about neither did people constantly bet on them rather than football tennis and other few sports that is regularly featured on the cryptocurrency gambling site.

There should be. Google search will bring out the relevant results.

I am never going to bet on on any Olympics football game. To me they look like there's no difference between them and off season matches. Very uninteresting.
 Yes. Club football matches are more adrenaline pumping and exciting. Everyone can literally feel it .

On my DSTV channel I see that the channel to show the Paralympics has started airing. The Paralympics can be as interesting as the Olympics itself was. Do not have the opinion of the competition that because it is featuring Paralympians that it will be less competitive. I do not have a particular Paralympian that I support, or any of them that I know, so I may just watch for the purpose of entertainment, and not to bet on it. The premier league is where I am actively betting right now, it is okay for me.

I have not seen a casino that have them listed and even if they do, I doubt there are many people that will be interested in betting on them. I hardly watch them too which may be the reason I have little to no interest in betting them. Now that you drew my attention to the tournament, I will try checking them out to see how interesting they will be. One thing I notice in such competition is that they usually have big odds. So, any event one can master and know how to predict accurately, that will be a major hit for the person. Of course they are usually easy to predict which is another advantage.

Actually it's okay to talk about the Paralympics, there's nothing wrong with it, in fact they really appreciate it if there are people who want to watch, discuss or other things related to their activities. There's no need to think whether it's rude or inappropriate for us to discuss them, because they don't need our pity - in fact they are much greater than the majority of us, because with their limitations they can still make achievements and even compete at the international level.

The Paralympic Games is an important sporting competition that should be discussed. This event didn't get much attention like the main Olympics but it is worth discussing. My country didn't win any medals in the main Olympics but we usually win during the Paralympic games. I see it as a game to give people who are physically challenged a sense of belonging which is important. Some online sports betting platforms will be active in these games. But they might not be taking many bets because it might not be a big event for them.      

If the Paralympic Games were more popular than the Olympic Games, bookmakers would probably add the opportunity to bet on these events. But the established traditional trend looks the opposite.

What is the reason for this? Why are the Olympics not suitable for you as sports events with betting opportunities?

You haven't made a single bet on the Olympics, but you are asking about the possibility of betting on the less popular Paralympic Games? :)

But this unpredictability can be used to your advantage. If you're lucky, a bet on a team with low chances of winning but high odds can bring in a pretty penny (if the bet wins).

How is traditional football less unpredictable? In my opinion, the differences are insignificant.

It is because they are unpredictable. Also do not be surprised if I tell you that I do not bet on tournaments like world cup. I only prefer club leagues and tournaments. They are played daily every day throughout the year.

I only asked the question to know more about Paralympics betting but I am not betting on it.

So most of the countries in the Paralympics are indeed not popular in the main Olympics because
of the 184 countries taking part in the Olympics 10 of them claimed over half of the medals!

The top 5 teams were United States, China, Great Britain, France and Australia and I would hazard
a guess that those teams and to top 10 will feature heavily in the Paralympics.

Looking back at the 2020 edition the top 3 were China, United States and Great Britain.

In terms of the "World Cup" there are only a handful of teams who can compete for the world cup
Spain, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Italy and Portugal ^arguably

I'm not sure what the OP's point is about the obvious statements?

I don't bet Paralympics and I do not watch it because I feel for people easily, the betting popularity is not so high too to the point that most bookies are not offering it. But popular betting platforms like Stake.com may offer it, those who are interested may check it, I have not tried it with them but I read something similar recently.

And for too many countries you listed above not being present in the Olympics but being present in the Paralympics games can only mean that human defects are more in some disadvantaged countries than the advantaged ones.

I think only fiat casino offer bets on Paralympics since big bookie such as Stake and Sportsbet doesn’t offer bets on this game so far probably due to the lack of interest for crypto users to bet on this game.


Yeah right. Crypto bookies still not exploring on this tournament so far despite the growing interest on peculiar sports to bet. On the other hand, some fiat casino offer bet on this game but still only few.

Basically Paralympic and Olympic is same because this event features some sporting matches but the difference is Paralympic held every 2 years but for Olympic this event held by every 4 years besides that paralympics are governed by the International Paralympic Committee and previously i have been watching paralympic matches several times but they have several sports that are different from the Olympics because this event is aimed at people with disabilities

I have checked to the several gambling sites recently but i couldn't find any option to bets for this event and i highly doubt the bookies will putting this event into their sites but i can understand why betting for this event is not available because Paralympic is less popular compared to other sport events and some people in my country even didn't know Paralympic is exist

They might offer betting options because they are popular and have large audience but smaller casino wouldn't want to risk hosting the tournament on their site because of fear of poor turnout of gamblers. It'll cost the casino money to add the betting options of the Paralympic and they mightn't get a good profits, some might get losses if they try to add the option. Paralympic isn't popular and had lots of sentiment about it. I too will be emotional if I wanted to give it a try which I won't.

I can't stand another disabled person losing, I would feel for them.I don't also have any experience with the Paralympic and I don't bet on sport that I can't understand because I need some experience to make the best picks to make me win.

I wasn't aware that Olympic betting was a thing till this year, let alone the Paralympics. I haven't confirmed myself; a quick Google search yielded unsatisfactory results, while I didn't notice any available options on any of the casinos I'm a member of. One guess is that there isn't much audience for Paralympics, which on the one hand doesn't make sense because there are much less known options available by bookies.

Even if it were possible, I'm not sure if I'd be interested in placing a bet. I don't want to sound clingy, but it looks a little immoral to be looking for ways to profit from Paralympics.

Honestly speaking talking about the this Olympics Paralympic is a good one creating the threads was a good one I most because talking about the Paralympic is really emotional for me but it still trying to tell and courage and letting the world see passion in them still burning and also it has play a hug role in promoting the challenges stereotypes which I love the idea of it.

To be honest, it's my first time hearing the word Paralympics because I have never watched any of those games however, I might give it a try this time to see how it looks like.

I'm going to be more likely watching it in speculative way rather than placing any bets on those events or matches. It takes time to figure out things and placing bets without information is way risky for me and I will avoid such bets at any cost.

Why not? It's still a key sporting event even though it's not popular enough for you to stake your bet on the events. People watch and enjoy the event and if it gains more popular, it will eventually get incorporated into sports that's going to be featured on gambling site.


most betting platform have not started including them on thier site since the games and athletes are not popular as such. If they want to gain the required attention, then it's necessary that the body in charge of it do more of publicity through posting of clips and blogging more about it.

I knew there was a special sports for the handicapped but didn't know they have thier own special version of the Olympics.

If I'm not mistaken, it has been ongoing for many years now. However, I haven't follow the trend on who's who on this Olympics. But as far as the OP's question, yeah, it is ok to talk about it, nothing wrong about it may as we have seen not many are into it and I don't know if there are sports bookies listing this games for us to bet.

And I do agree that it is risky for us because we really don't know who to bet in a game as our knowledge is very limited. But one thing that come to my mind about this and I don't know if others have heard it before, is Oscar Pistorius.

South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius granted parole 10 years after killing girlfriend. (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/south-african-olympic-runner-oscar-pistorius-granted-parole-10-years-after-killing-girlfriend)

Hahaha,, who was talking about pity here? Replace that word with "support", they need our support and not pity.

Personally, I love watching paralympics, but this was when I was younger, becoming a man means you have to shoulder alot of responsibilities, and because of that, I no longer have time to watch lots of programs and sporting events I used to watch, I watch paralympics because it always motivates me, in my mind, I am always like "if this disabled guys and girls can do this much, get famous, become rich while writing their names in the sands of time, how much more me myself who is complete and whole".

I enjoy watching them and I usually don't feel any pity for them, they are humans and I am no greater or better than they are.
And like you rightly said, there is no reason not to discuss about paralympics here if we can discuss the Olympics, they are all sports in the same category, only difference is the people participating in the sports games.

Does the popularity of these countries in the Olympics really matter enough to consider them discussable on a thread? I don't think so, so I would say it's very okay we talk about them here on this thread you have created provided the bookies are putting them on the platform such that we can place bets on them they are considered games we can gamble on so talking about them will be very okay.

The only time we may not be able to discuss any of such to the best of my knowledge, is when they aren't considered a gambling activities then it can be moved to it's related boards for discussion.

I don't see any reasons why we can't discuss Paralympic games here. Yeah, as many said that not many bookmakers offering lines for Paralympic games, but I think that sports shouldn't be just about betting. For me it's just so good to see all these people competing after going through so many difficult challenges in their lifes. I'm following Paralympics games, maybe not that closely, too bad it's happening when football already started. A bit surprised that so many people didn't knew about Paralympics before this thread :/

Remember him competing in Olympics and then few years later killing his girlfriend. There was contraversy that he was allowed to run on blades against healthy athletes. BTW, he was released from prison thsi year.
