Is it okay if we talk about the ongoing Paralympics?

[Oshosondy]

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?

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.

Most of these nations are not popular in the main Olympics or even the world cup but are part of the Paralympics.
Is anyone following the ongoing Paralympics?

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.

Are bet for Paralympics available on bookies?

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

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.

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.

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.

[bering]

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.

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.

[Ultegra134]

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.

[Mr Reporter]

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.

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.

[SamReomo]

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.

[Hewlet]

Is it okay to talk about the ongoing Paralympics?

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.

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.

[LTU_btc]

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.
