Sport betting site offering bets on the Covid-19 pandemic. Worst site now.

[rdbase]

While watching a streamer of their gambling bets they showed a site where they had lines for something to do with it.
I was appalled when I saw one of these sportsbetting sites were having odds on the covid19 virus.
I didnt see the details of the bet but it couldnt have been good.
They should lose their license if they are putting lines up for this as it not a joke or something to bet on.

I am not sure about if they would lose their license unless they makes some serious violations. Does offering a line on the virus is considered as violation? I find it hard to see.

But I think people will really won't like like this. They will really lose their players who find this something going far from a line. They will be forced to remove that line soon.

If it were to do with the number of amount of lives lost by the end of it then you wouldnt consider this a violation of being a decent human being atleast?
That should be a red flag for betting on such a site as it is.
Because this alone bases your credibility to the human race right now.
Just disgusting with the number of lives lost and are still losing at this very time.

I would but would the license provider? We don't know yet. I wonder which site you are talking about? Is it crypto accepting sportsbook.

That should be a red flag for betting on such a site as it is.

Only thing you can do is openly discuss on platform say Twitter where you can have viewers for your concern and gain support to force them to remove such disgusting betting lines.

Because this alone bases your credibility to the human race right now.

[tyKiwanuka]

I don't think any bookmaker will open unethical Covid-19 markets. There is just so much more to lose than to win for them. But for example parimatch has a lot of bets regarding the virus and I think those are fine (sometimes even pretty funny ones, like Ibra joining the Belarus league etc.): https://www.parimatch.com/en/sport/raznoe/mir-karantin-2020

German Bundesliga starting before June is very good value imo @1.65.

[Becky666]

Should we say having fun is against the ethics of gambling? Coronavirus has been used by comedians around the world likewise our musicians, even some film industries have began their stories about the said pandemic, this is just a way to Cushing the negative effects of this ravaging deadly virus. Although, this is personal opinion and shouldn't be use for crucification of my view. They're just getting their gamblers inline to having fun with the covid-19.

Well, I understand your take; joking with the coronavirus should be seen as normal thing and not that; they're saying it doesn't exist among us or is a fiction. This is just a means of relaxation for these gamblers to have fun with the covid-19.

[rdbase]

^^
Having covid-19 for gambling is not fun.
The bookmaker might have been having their lines for when those who want to place wagers on for how many days they think it would take to have a solution such as a vaccine made. But that would be about it as to having so called fun with this situation were all in. If you could call it that. While people and their loved ones are suffering trying to bring in a couple of coins.

[crwth]

I was thinking about this the other day when I remember someone creating a token about Corona Virus. It's a freaking joke to have that kind of shit being made as a project. And now people are betting on how long it would last? Or something in that sense? That's fucked up, and we know it. Don't participate in that kind of shit, it's not right, especially to the ones who are affected.

People have died because of COVID-19, don't make it worse by participating in it.

[rdbase]

Yeah crwth, but as you know those betting sites who offer these as prop bets have just about anything on them to wager on.
But this is just going beyond the line with having this as a prop bet just so to be the first site to offer it.
Only their credibility as a sportsbook is now in question here.

With due respect Sir, how about the said TV stations and Radios stations who announce and predict how many individuals are likely to go down six feet bellow? What about the WHO that always predict deaths on countries and  continents?. We shouldn't be personal in this rather presenting facts about the Covid-19. Deaths are everywhere which is true and these are love ones and families, but, for TV stations predicting more deaths is a reality base on the high spread of this covid-19. I see no reason why gambling platforms shouldn't allow their gamblers to equally predict the deaths and survivals of this covid-19 IMO.

[hahay]

I think there has been news before about the use of this pandemic, before there was one restaurant in Italy that named the cake they made with the name coronavirus but I forgot the details, even it got a lot of criticism and it is inconceivable also criticism that will get when there are gambling sites that make this pandemic a part or material for a bet or gambling. There are still sports bets that you can do right now normally and this pandemic is not very appropriate as a part of betting because indeed, this pandemic cannot be used as a means for anyone to have fun.

[Ryker1]

Well, that was similar to what I have read in an online article that someone who had bet on the number of lives lost in America due to the COVID-19 disease. [ https://www.econlib.org/my-bet-on-covid-19-and-why-i-might-lose/ ]
Well, for me this is not a joke, we are talking about human lives and not making an odds to them. They make a count on how many lives will be lost. Indeed, wrong. We should think positively that the number of counts will less.
Perhaps OP that is good if you name it here the bookies that you are talking about.

got curious and search for a little bit and this is what a found https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/11964-russian-bookies-open-bets-on-covid-19-issues. apparently Russian bookies thought that amid this crisis. earning money through betting on COVID-19 issues can still be made since a lot of sporting event has been cancelled. I'm appalled at how insensitive these people are using the suffering of people to earn money. as much as I want their licence to be revoked but there are not enough legal grounds for their licence to be cancelled(but if there is that would be great).

I so much agree with you on the fact that there wouldn't be unethical Covid-19 markets, at least not from reputable bookies, even though there might not be legal consequences if they make them available.

I checked parimatch.com and I'd agree that some of the lines are fine by me, like the possibility of WHO announcing a vaccine for the virus before the end of the year offered @ 1.75

But I'm somewhat tempted with betting that there wouldn't be US Election in 2020 @ 5.50

Its unethical!

We are talking or make a bet on how many lives would lost due to Covid.I dont know whats up to their minds on why they
do make use and making it as a line for people to bet on.I understand about on betting on Vaccine availability just mentioned above^
which is considerable but betting on how many lives would cost? Its crazy...

[Captain Corporate]

 There is a big difference between having an ethical problem with a company and having a illegal problem with a company. I think this goes for the first one and not the second one. If you are allowing people to bet on the numbers of corona (like deaths or infected etc etc) you wouldn't really be doing something illegal as far as I know, maybe if the governments really want to they can still charge you with something, they kinda have that power unfortunately (well fortunately for this instance) but normally there is no law that I know that says you can't bet on number of deaths from a virus.

 However is it ethical? Definitely not, we are talking about humanities biggest crisis in the recent years and nothing really killed people as much as this virus as far as I can remember in the past 20-30 years and this is not local neither, it is global and people are dying in  almost every single country so we are talking about a problem of global magnitude. With that in mind allowing bets on number of people who will die is as low as it gets yet it is probably there because some people do bet on it, which means you can hate the book as much as you want but they are offering people what they want as well, so we should also hate the people who bet on it too.

[tomahawk9]

On one hand, I like the fact that OP didn't post a link to the bookie, no need to give them any publicity...But on the other hand i would've liked to see people calling them out for that shitty behaviour.

You weren't joking when you said "funny ones", I mean: "In April 2020, live Godzilla be spotted in China @250 odds" good value there lol  
And yeah, Bundesliga @1.65 is a no brainer, tbh.

Bro, it's literally their job (health institutions and other experts like the ones at the JHU) to monitor the data of the curve of infections and update + predict the death toll (by making mathematical models) just so that everyone can have a better picture of the potential impact of the outbreak and the impact of the measures enforced by the govt to try to stop the spread of the virus. TV news outlets, by moral obligation, need to keep the public informed with the info the health institutions and other organizations provide about this pandemic.

You think trying to guess the number of deaths is a game?  

[Quidat]

Op should at least tell the name of said bookie who do offer such line and this is indeed a shitty behavior and they do just simply harming out their reputation not on
legal aspect but towards peoples impressions.

You think trying to guess the number of deaths is a game?  

No, it cant be considered to be a game yet playing or guessing out on how many peoples lives would be lost is not something we should enjoyed of.
They do simply cross the border line.. For some unusual or unique line, it might be considerable but not for this one.

[ralle14]

I've seen similar markets(death predictions) offered in fairlay. I agree it's a bad move to put these types of markets up on their exchange since this is a very serious issue and a lot of people are struggling every day. But they probably don't care on what markets could be put up as long as they're making money on it. On the other hand I don't think there's anything we could do about it since they're inactive here.

That is exactly why I did not put the sites name as I didnt want them to get any traffic and that is why I didnt even go there either after seeing the page being streamed earlier today by someone who was using them for their sports bets. They were disgusted by those lines offered on this site as well which I will not be mentioning from having so much things going on with this virus worldwide right now.
I would in a month if there is a glimmering light of hope we are getting better as a society and not tolerate such nonsense as this and having people defending them for putting up whatever they want to bet on.

[Tipstar]

we have been betting on events for years. If you can bet on suarez biting someone, betting on coronavirus stas would too be fine.
If I had knew about the site beforehand, I would have bet on US to score the highest on deaths, cause US never loses to anyone.

@rdbase it seems that these days one only cares about making money and people’s sentiments are not even accounted for, and therefore I’m not surprised to see that the unnamed site decided to monetise COVID-19. Furthermore I’m glad that you acted wisely and didn’t put the name as they would have got lots of free traffic, but for what’s it worth I don’t see any popular casinos offering such shitty odds hence we should stick to them only and avoid such sites.

[boyptc]

Inhumane.

Putting bets related to the pandemic shouldn't been supported by bettors.

I understand the point but making fun about it doesn't justify the suffering specially for people who lost their love ones. And yeah, it is to lessen the stress or to relax with covid-19 but that doesn't mean you're worthy/right of making jokes directly to crisis. Fun doesn't have to be with what's obvious or currently happening right now, well, quite subjective but we shouldn't forget people who suffer a lot 'cause of this pandemic, be at least considerate on who will see and what could possibly be the effect of it to them.

Mind to share which site is this?because this is inhumane and not be tolerated since we are talking serious matter here while people are dying and this site is making money and enjoying the crisis.

i hate to say this but i support OP for asking them lose their License because of this action

And besides there are so many games to enjoy in gambling but why need to add the COVID-19?just because this is very popular now?

[pakhitheboss]

You are bringing ethics to gambling that is what I understood from your concern. I guess ethics does not belong here. I am also not happy about it but considering the amount of meme on social media and the prediction by scientists on the scale it will grow your concern  will not be valued by anyone.

In my opinion we should boycott such website for the time being as a protest.

They are the worst, it would be good if you get the link of that site so we can report it as pandemic is not a joke and they are even betting for the number of cases to occur.

If you can update your post with additional information then we can do something about it as I cannot think that genuine websites will do this kind of betting. They will lost their license for sure if they will be reported with enough evidence about their doings.

What was in it to bet on the covid-19 ? If they are betting on how many people will be effected by Covid-19 then this is  very bad behavior and they should be ban immediately or given a warning at least. I heard that there are a betting going at a local bookie on the date the lockdown will be lifted in our country. We should avoid such types of bets and when no one will be willing to bet the bookies will themselves abadon such bets.

[The Cryptovator]

Do you mean gambling with life? Gambling on COVID-19 isn't equal gamble on human life? I think so, because everyday thousands of peoples are effecting by COVID-19 and thousands of peoples are dying. A decent gambling sites shouldn't open this kind of gamble and a decent gamblers shouldn't play as well. This question about life, that kind of gambling sites should be punished somehow. On the other hand everyday effected rate is increasing rapidly, so obviously gamblers will win and house or exchanges should loss. So I am not sure how it would manage except peer to peer betting system. But I will say please stay away from gamble with life, just avoid them since this is become very big serious issue worldwide.

[gorge441]

Would you please give me the name of that site? I will report against them.

[jademaxsuy]

Basing on covid-19 bet is not violation in my opinion. Gambling sites can have a betting on it like when do you think covid-19 will disappear  and many questions related to covid-19 unless they are making a joke out of it which is not a good making jokes about it they there is a chance they will lose their license.

[Ucy]

Wish you could show us the details of the stuff on the disease they placed for people to bet on. Is it about the availability of cure/treatment, about potential death/survival rate, bet on the real cause etc. I think this will help members determine whether it's moral/ethical thing to do.
Betting on death/survival rating doesn't sound right/moral though.

[Genemind]

This kind of bet is something that should not be supported. The current pandemic is not a joke or something that should be bet on. I do understand some comedians or movies are using this pandemic to somwhow lighten the situation but to use it in as something to bet on is out of line.

[Latviand]

I am not sure about if they would lose their license unless they makes some serious violations. Does offering a line on the virus is considered as violation? I find it hard to see.

But I think people will really won't like like this. They will really lose their players who find this something going far from a line. They will be forced to remove that line soon.

If it were to do with the number of amount of lives lost by the end of it then you wouldnt consider this a violation of being a decent human being atleast?
That should be a red flag for betting on such a site as it is.
Because this alone bases your credibility to the human race right now.
Just disgusting with the number of lives lost and are still losing at this very time.

As this pandemic kills a lot of people, those gambling platform shouldn't make any betting in a serious matter or topic. It is inhuman if you try to make some profits out of an issue where all of us are suffering and yet you are just making money out of it. The authority should take some actions about that because many people will get offended or most probably all of us are affected. Their gambling platform license should be requisite by the government because more people will be upset most especially those people who lost their loved ones. There are a lot of topics to bet in but this is Covid-19 pandemic is not a joke, the platform should be accountable on what the gambling website did. It is so disrespectful to offer a bets in some critical issues.

Ouch, that's very insensitive. There's been recently quite some pressure put on the creators of the Plague Inc. because there are modes there allowing to play the simulation of COVID-19, and the point is that you play for the virus there, so the goal is to wipe out humanity. Following the controversies, Plague Inc. donated money to fight COVID-19 ($250k) and created a version where one can play trying to save humanity. I realize that this initial COVID-19 simulation in this game was quite an insensitive thing to do, but putting money on the outcome of the real pandemic - I think something like this is highly immoral. I realize that sports betting is in trouble right now because people don't have much to bet on, but betting on such things should not be allowed.

You need to put more details on your post, what actually is the site betting about Covid, and what is the name of the gambling site, it could be a new gambling site and they want promotion because anything about COVID 19 can attract people just look at what happen to these coins that are named after COVID.

Instead of just randomly blaming the gambling sites can you give the specific site names where you see these types of bet. I have been on the popular betting and gambling site but did not came across such betting options anywhere.

I don't think there are such laws in any countries that implies punishment nor prohibits any online acts that regards to the current pandemic. But it only takes a human decency and morality if ever someone tried to make a joke on a bet on deaths and positive cases. Yet anyone can bet on anything, the world is full of both good people and immoral ones. They can bet recoveries which is much a pleasurable cause.

Also, try to find or recall what site it was. The topic was too broad to be discussed nor be given an attention.

I think their country doesn't prohibut them for doing a joke like this but even if they are not prohibited, they must not make it a joke because COVID-19 is not a joke and one of my family already died because of this virus. I hope you understand why did I say this all. Please don't let other guys to do a joke like this because it can really offend another. If something like this happens, bitcointalk community will have a dirty name.

[FlightyPouch]

From people scamming other people that just want to help from this site that lets people bet on this kind of statistics? Humans are just bad at this game, that is so annoying. Joke or not, this is just the worst. Can we report the site about this? Are they against any rules or policies that we can exploit for them to learn their lesson?

[carlisle1]

Does the operation started?i mean is there any bettors or what about this site?it is a a disrespect for the dying people having this kind of Game(Joke) for the COVID-19 and also those who are still fighting for their lives just to survive the pandemic. and also please never support such kind of Insult game because these poeple has nothing good to do with their life.

i Don't think they are joking about this but it is more good if we see some links about the site we are talking here.

[sheenshane]

I don't know if there is a gambling site that has an offering of an open bet of life lost due to pandemic coronavirus. That is unethical and probably they are happy every time they know that there are many lives lost just to win what they had bet. If that gambling site was under licensed by the government, I don't what will happen to them if the government knows.

I know everything that has an odds you can have bet and gamble. But not this died people due to pandemic coronavirus, that is not a joke. Respect for them and pray, because we are very lucky that we don't belong to them.

[South Park]

While watching a streamer of their gambling bets they showed a site where they had lines for something to do with it.
I was appalled when I saw one of these sportsbetting sites were having odds on the covid19 virus.
I didnt see the details of the bet but it couldnt have been good.
They should lose their license if they are putting lines up for this as it not a joke or something to bet on.

I do not think anyone here is an expert on casino licenses to know if such a thing is against the license they have, however such a thing should leave everyone that uses that casino a very bad taste in their mouths and most likely lead many of those people to stop gambling on that website, I can understand that some casinos offer some bets on political events, like the presidential election of a country, but the pandemic we are suffering is a very serious one and it has left more than 110k dead people all over the world and that number could increase even further so it is not something that we should take lightly.

[erep]

I don't think there is a gambling license to legalize emergencies like legitimate pandemic for betting, this is a violation of humanity and people will leave the gambling site, think rationally to make money without betting the suffering of the masses.

Well, at this situation such a gambling isn't good for the moment. There were sites that provide odds on the price movement of bitcoin and other market situation. By this time such form of gambling can be spread rather than just just making something out of the pandemic virus. People who wish to spend on sports betting can prefer Dice game and other slot games.

[Wexnident]

Can you spare more details regarding what they were actually betting on? Like for example, is it the time span of the virus, time till vaccine is made, or something? Cause if it's similar to the above, I see no reason for you to admonish their efforts to make odds of the like. Though I have no idea how the friggin hell they are going to make the odds fair since even if a vaccine is under construction, doesn't necessarily mean that it would work immediately. However, if it was the number of deaths by x number of days, or something like that, then hell be my guest. I'd even join you in admonishing them. Treating lives as something to gamble on isn't correct imo, but if it was the former which was about the virus itself, I see no harm..

[swogerino]

I think that this site will only harm themselves by offering such betting lines in this time regarding something people are very concerned with.If they offer unacceptable lines like total number of deaths and total number of infected persons and something among these lines these person should be sued and put to jail for life.I think no one can accept this.

You saw that on Augur I guess... There are usually many unethical bets on those decentralized crypto platform.

[Distinctin]

Inhumane.

Putting bets related to the pandemic shouldn't been supported by bettors.

Not just an inhumane act but it is more than that.
I wasn't expecting people to think the way that it looks more than a joke. I condemn those people who put their bets it is just like they are playing the life of the people around.

Maybe creating a Coronavirus coin is acceptable for me but if we include this in gambling, it is highly not acceptable. I wasn't thinking about a business involved in this but its something people make it for their unreasonable act.

This will really surely mess up their reputation and also this shouldnt really be supported by bettors that it looks like their playing/betting something
which really inappropriate.They are making out possible profits by betting on this kind of line- Wondering if there would be legal actions towards this?

Is the site that we're talking about still live? Or they already realized that they are doing something offensive here? Because at first, they might see it as a way to earn money but then realized that this is really not good for their reputation.

[verita1]

It's sad! I searched online for Sports betting sites that have been dedicated to betting related to Covid19. In Russia Betcity and PariMatch and Singapore also as the following articles point out.
I think these gaming sites have exceeded the tolerance limit they could have found something different than gambling I think they have been cruel.

Yeah some betting sites are unethical and the one I was talking about is probably listed on one of those sites. I am not going to check since I dont have the stomach for it and most sane people I imagine would not either.
With betcity taking bets on this crisis being a russian site, isnt it strange their prime minister had been tested positive having the virus today?

One of the many disadvantages of such games is that people could be tempted to try spread the virus to win a big bet. Shouldn't be allowed at all unless maybe they are betting on what treatment is better, what can minimize lockdown and things like that.

[Questat]

it would be nice if we check the site and what exactly we can bet on relating to the covid-19.
Some sites really put a bet on big events, including crisis or this one pandemic, they just like to make money at all, but if that's not against the law, they can't loss their license, and for sure, a site with a big money at stake, they will not make a foolish move, they know what they are doing for sure.

 Authorities should probably not allow bettings (esp big bets) on things like future crisis or anarchy. That could encourage bad wealthy bettors to create the crisis in order to win their bets. Hopefully that sort of betting is not allowed on decentralized betting platforms. Morality & safety should play a key role on how we design this systems.

[plvbob0070]

Making this pandemic something like entertainment, and making bets with the situation is not entertaining at all. I don't know if others find it entertaining, but for me, it's not worthy to bet on. Doctors, health workers, and other front-liners are risking their lives for this virus yet some people would make a serious situation as their own entertainment. Don't they have anything new to offer that is why they are using the virus outbreak?

Just like what others have said, it's still not enough to lose their license. But if that's in my country, maybe they will face a problem with that. Since they did something like that, I wonder if there are actually people who would make bets about COVID-19?

They know the count of pandemic cases can not be gambled, it is not ethic at the first place. The foolish move is to promote this type of unethical betting for increasing the user database and reach the highest possible bet which increases their profit.

That's why i am interested to know what is the particular type of bet, or what is written.
I can't just make a judgement if what they are is unethical or not if I can't review the site OP is referring.

[BitcoinTurk]

I had seen this kind of news on different websites before, and at first there was nothing convincing. But then I saw that it really happened with my own eyes and I was really surprised. This situation actually shows how helpless people are. Betting on human life is not an ethical thing, but it is something that a sane person will not use. As an active gambling and betting player, I would like to say that I have decided not to use any service that provides this type of betting service. I will no longer use any service that provides betting services on viruses and human life. We are really in a joke.

[finaleshot2016]

People won't like this but it's impossible to lose the license just because they used COVID-19 on their platform.

Okay, I suppose it's similar to some people who take advantage of COVID-19, particularly some politicians and other government officials, so maybe they should all lose their positions if that's what you're concerned about. Not only the politicians but also the businessman who find an opportunity to grow profit in this crisis, I can't blame those people 'cause some of us born to be filty and selfish.

Most of betting platforms are located in tax haven countries, so I agree with you, they don't risk much and they won't lose their license for that. This type of countries don't care about that kind of thing.

[chaser15]

If that kind of betting continues then there are gamblers that supporting them. Maybe these gamblers just want to make a profit out of lockdown. Or maybe rich individuals that don't have a choice but to bet on these since most sports events are canceled.

So will these gamblers will have the same anger treatment that you guys put on those sites offering bets fo Covid-19?

Don't think like that. I thought you care for people who got affected. If you are angry or mad about those sites offering Covid-19 betting, don't include those persons that got tested positive on the virus in the story.

[DarkDays]

What's appalling about this?

You do realize there are people in that world that bet on dog fighting, cock fighting, human fights etc?

Just because people are betting on it, that doesn't necessarily encourage it, especially when it's something entirely out of our control like COVID19.

You must be extremely immature if you genuinely think there is something bad about betting on adverse events.

e.g. you can bet that more than 100,000 people will die of lung cancer next year, whether you want it to be true or not, you're unlikely to affect the result.

[Oasisman]

Actually, this website didn't do something really bad that affects the outcome of the pandemic. What's bad is the government taking advantage of the donations from the big companies. Since, donations usually cannot be liquidated. These government officials should be the one to lose a license.
I actually don't see anything wrong about betting for covid-19, except it looks disrespectful for other cultures.

This is the only wrong thing i do saw about this matter but the rest on where most people do talk about revoking their license just because they do made such line which i dont really see it as a wrong thing.
When it comes to those government officials then theres nothing we can do about it but to embrace up the reality and its impossible to think about confiscation or cancellation as long
those people who are in the top are in charge.

Some bets props are:

- Toilet paper shortages
- The vaccine being developed (when, where, etc)

As for the illegal gambling sites:

- Last digit of the number of daily new cases announced by Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
- Bet on whether the number is even or odd, and if the latest number in the respective countries is higher than the previous day's.

[bitbunnny]

Well, people obviously like to bet on everything. Yes, at first sounds appalling and strange but these sites just figured out where the money is and they offer to people what they want. I think that people bet on much worse things, so I'm actualy not surprised, although I wouldn't choose such betting.
Also, at the moment there isn't much choice in betting so I guess many people would just take anything that is offered.

Several links of the posts above are referring to russian and singaporean platforms(except fairlay). But you can bet on that on Augur and on many other unethical things like that because it's fully decentralized. It's a well known platform for that.

Thanks, but I think it's hard to predict that, so I guess as a gambler, I would skip that betting and just focus on the sports I love to bet, well, NBA is already in the air, opening games will be on December 22, 2020, so I might spend my money there.

I revisit the site, and now, the site is offline, and I hope we don't have to participate in that betting since we have so many other bettings. I do not agree to bet on something that uses human life as a gamble.

The thread itself is not active anymore, and the @OP was also not active. I hope there is no betting for human life in this pandemic but if that so, we can't stop them because people will decide for themselves.

While all government has been busy with the distribution of the vaccine to all hospitals, they now trying to make sure all paramedic and nurse and the patient can get the vaccine to cure the virus.

Don't want to bet on this kind of stuffs and I see evil on it since imagine that you are kinda happy to see more infection if you bet on that side to win and for sure you will pray that your threshold count will be reached.

And I'm not surprise about seeing them last for short term only since if they are not created for scamming then they are just there to take advantage on the current issue.

[jademaxsuy]

Covid19 is not a sport it should be categorize as health issues but of course therr could be wrong whether OP had overlook the site and thought of it that it was categorize in sports or the platform or site itself had made it wrong when they posted it in a wrong category. For sure most of us here will agree that covid19 is not a sport. Anyway, prediction would be the new gambling activity that will add new excitement and new form in addition to the gambling activities.

[Saint-loup]

This is not too much to ask in my opinion. COVID 19 is lethal in some cases and life-threatening why would anyone wanna bet on how many will get infected with Covid. Basically, people who bet on high numbers will pray that more people will be infected just for them to win money. This is not an ethical type of bet that should be made.

I have not seen or read if there is a report like that but a credible gambling site will not implement something like this, they will not compromise their ethics for money, only low level gambling sites will do something like this, they cannot compete with big gambling sites so they create something that will generate controversy and interest, but I won't go for bets like this.

I don't think they only want to generate controversy as you say. This disease has consequences all over the world, it's not insignificant. Creating bets on its spreading could be a tool to predict its evolution.

[kotajikikox]

Losing License is too much to ask and we don't know if the intention is just for Practical side and  not Emotional ,
And i see no Joke as they are only asking about the Potential Victim since this Post was created in April meaning the spread are already in place,
and Dying is really counting continuously .

Yeah this is Inhumane Way of enjoying gambling ,I am not against Animal being used in gambling but Human life?
i think there must be a sanction for this not so good treatment ,And for sure those who Make this happen and has a family member that dies along the virus?
Is surely crying their Lungs now and Hate the way they joined in this activity.

Betting on COVID-19 is not betting on the life of an individual human being. Perhaps we are just too emotional about it. Bettors on COVID-19 are betting on numbers, statistics, or countries or other aspects of this pandemic which do not have anything to do with actual life and death.

Probably betting lines on this pandemic include which among the giant pharmaceuticals will first come up with a vaccine, when is the vaccine coming out, whether it will become successful or not, etc. Some lines may be when this or that number of infection is reached, which country will likely lead the numbers in the next month, etc.

There is nothing inhuman in these betting lines. And if you are not against animals being used in gambling but against betting on COVID-19 then I think you are somewhat a hypocrite.

[ice098]

It would not be wise to put the COVID-19 pandemic at stake, this is quite painful for victims of COVID-19 to know. If the gambling site
that offers the bet is still active, I will never bet on that site. Since COVID-19 is the worst event I have ever experienced, imagine
the growing number of deaths due to COVID-19. This is a serious disaster that we shouldn't take advantage of.

It isn't a good area to be the topic to bet on and probably this global pandemic wasn't a joke cause it already cost a thousand of lives all around the world. This betting site offering bets on Covid-19 pandemic was too much, even we are facing a difficult crisis we should be still have this  empathy to others.

Covid19 is not a sport it should be categorize as health issues but of course therr could be wrong whether OP had overlook the site and thought of it that it was categorize in sports or the platform or site itself had made it wrong when they posted it in a wrong category.

Definitely and it would never be right, let say if we were going to set a poll and put which laboratory company who can provide a effective vaccine for this global virus i guess much better to be a topic rather than setting covid -19 itself because it was too inhumane.

[Shasha80]

There will always be bad people in the world, so I'm not surprised that there are gambling sites offering COVID19 bets. Because there are
types of people who are looking for profit by justifying various methods, including putting the suffering of others at stake. I urge the members of
this forum to avoid gambling sites that offer COVID19 as a bet, this is very immoral. We as social beings must have a sense of empathy for
the suffering of others, because the COVID19 pandemic is a common enemy.

This sports betting site offering bets on the Covid-19 pandemic can be related to the scams or scammers spreading out worldwidely and worst those people victime were the weak one and the poor one.

[Nellayar]

Should we say having fun is against the ethics of gambling? Coronavirus has been used by comedians around the world likewise our musicians, even some film industries have began their stories about the said pandemic, this is just a way to Cushing the negative effects of this ravaging deadly virus. Although, this is personal opinion and shouldn't be use for crucification of my view. They're just getting their gamblers inline to having fun with the covid-19.

Well, I understand your take; joking with the coronavirus should be seen as normal thing and not that; they're saying it doesn't exist among us or is a fiction. This is just a means of relaxation for these gamblers to have fun with the covid-19.

Maybe, it is the time that we use covid19 for fun. Because almost a whole year, we fear in covid 19. Atleast, we can manipulate it by means of playing. However, it might be a serious case since this pandemic is treated seriously by authority and doctors. Putting it in a gambling game might give a bad impact to them specially when we talk about the statistics. No one can also be relaxed to play a game which took away millions of life.

It clear that our views about the gambling site issue gambling on the covid 19 pandemic situation won't be the same but I also don't see any reason they have to lose their license cause their decision does not increase the virus cases and there are no rules stated for gambling site not to use the covid 19 situations to gamble and I believe the site will provide the game for their user to predict when the pandemic will be over just like Binance does through CMC where people are asked to predict when the ATH price will happen.

[bitzizzix]

COVID can be categorized as a non-natural disaster, a non-natural disaster because it is caused by a series of non-natural events in the form of technological failures, modernization failures, epidemics, and disease outbreaks.
and it is inhumane to bet and obviously only to benefit from the suffering of others even the whole world is currently struggling to eradicate it, and there will be controversy which is fatal and very unethical and betting on the number of infected people who died and others.
and if it's an excuse to have fun I would judge it inhuman and support the existence of Covid, like there is no other way to have fun.

[tyz]

We should not support this kind of gambling events or features, it's like staking people's health, it's inhuman and unethical it's like we are wishing many will die from this Covid, they should get their license revoked if they have a license or gamblers should not support his kind of gambling site.

Well, if you bet or not on this "event" it does not have any impact. So you do not really bet on peoples health. If we follow your argumentation we would also have to forbid betting on elections, since there could win a candidate who disadvantages minorities for example.The implication of COVID-19 is far more than just the health, it has an impact on many fields especially the economy, sports, events like the Olympic Games etc.

[rodskee]

This happens early April, any update OP about that Site/are they still existing and has no case file at all?for seemingly mocking the Dead and the Dying because of the virus. hope you'll give the site name here, so i will put it in my ban lists of gambling sites.

We do indeed need fun but not on this kind of way on where we do bet on peoples lives which it is too unethical to be done.I dont know on whats up into their
minds on making out some bet basing off this which this one will surely give out bad impressions towards them instead of getting some praises to those players.
Now the situation becomes even more worst as the day goes by and its not that good to look at that even if your bet is winning but peoples lives
were you primary indicators which it isnt really enjoying at all.

Trying to make money out of anything and everything around the globe is something worse. People need to grow up, maybe the one who hasn't affected doesn't know the difficulty. People are suffering not able to feed themselves and the dependents. By this occasion it is our responsibility to help them, but the same shouldn't be used as a track record to make money with odds. As OP stated, such gambling site license needs to be cancelled.

this idea is worster than what the futuur (prediction/betting site ) are offering . that futuur site is an example of a betting site that have a new idea because they have included science and other branches on their betting categories  

but i think they dont have odds for covid despite of being unique and i dont think those sites that offer odds for covid can get a costumer because all people are still depress right now due to the effect of covid and the effects are felt worldwide . but if there are still people that bet in it , dont know if what kind of person they are , they can be out of their minds

The site doesn't need to use Covid-19 as a bet, such as predicting how many people would die because of Covid-19, because that will make their family sad Bto know it. If the casino can bring a new idea for betting, people will be curious and try to find out how to get the data to bet.

But still, people will try to gamble to make money because they have big expectations to win gambling games, especially when they really need money to survive. I hope people will know how they use their money and not just for playing gambling.

Betting on serious matters or situations was never fun because others are struggling while they find the situation entertaining. It's such an insensitive act of those sites who offered this kind of betting to generate income, but maybe people who bet on COVID back then did not find it entertaining anymore since the virus has been here for a year already.

There have even been those who have specifically made the name Corona the name of a gambling web that bets in situations that are not convenient for everyone on earth.

or Just a publicity to make their names on the scene?

Betting/Prediction Market  need to be moral otherwise desperate people will do all kinds of unimaginable evil to win their bets.
I won't be surprised if there are people who can go to the extent of destroying human lives just to win a bet on whether or not certain number of people will die at certain time. This kind of moral problems should be anticipated and tackled

Don't want to bet on this kind of stuffs and I see evil on it since imagine that you are kinda happy to see more infections if you bet on that side to win and for sure you will pray that your threshold count will be reached. I discourage people to bet in this option since this is truly sensitive idea to do so.

And I'm not surprise about seeing them last for short term only since if they are not created for scamming then they are just there to take advantage on the current issue.

Exactly. That is one of problems. There will definitely be people who will be happy making money off people's pains and misery with their wins.

I'd be happy to see people bet on what kind of drugs, treatments, safety measures etc will be the most effective and safe. Will be good idea to have bets tied around solving problems with good solutions.

You will fabricate data's for the result of your own betting, and if the government Data they will use,leakage may happen because there might be insider that will release the data earlier than the site result, for me this is a total mess

They only had a view about taking advantage of the situation, but if the bad situation was being exploited was related to the number of lives then obviously, there would be nothing to support them to grow. So, it's no wonder they don't have any renewal because they just want to take advantage of the suffering, and without any support it would be better for them to close it because even if they keep trying I think it will also be useless.

[Cacingkemi]

Things related to the corona that can go in all directions every day, right? You hear about medicines and about the vaccine every day. in a few months, you can probably still bet on the covid. Or do you mean as a topic that you can bet on competitions due to the virus?

The thing is that gamblers bet whichever the game is as long as there is money to be made. If they could profit by simply just predicting how many infected people the next day, they will bet to it like how we do on sportsbetting sites.  The drives people to go for it even when its unethical.

[CarnagexD]

It has been done as a joke a few too many times which may have inspired rich investors into creating games like this. It would be better if amidst the evident downplaying and ridiculing of the potent death COVID-19 brings they help our frontliners through donations or something like that, but it would seem as though they would want to hog the money on their own, which is a big red X on the checklist.

We have seen lots of sorts of type when it comes to gambling where kind of lines are bit odd. or not really that too appealing.

Betting on peoples lives is on bit unethical side which I don't see for it to be good.

When it comes to publicity aim then they are just making themselves look bad which would rather give bad view towards them.

This idea is definitely crossed out of the line. The idea of betting on how many COVID person will add in a certain day is like making fun out of it. For me, I think this kind of betting might not be good because of the idea of thinkinh you will hit the guess number of people that will get COVID. For those people who are playing this, you must think that there are other left ways in order to place your bet or play. COVID today is not a joke and certainly it is a serious matter because it is a pandemic. If your consciece aren't that good, atleast pray for those who affected and play your games out there somwhere. We are all affected of this pandemic. I suggest to pray for the healing not for the profit.

Never a good idea to allow financial bets on disease/problems worsening in the future. Predictions like that should be done by  trusted and reputable people. Unfortunately, human judgment is not very reliable and can't be trusted...unless GOD uses a human.

[iamsheikhadil]

Well, what can we say, betting has found place everywhere in the world on all events. While we may think that indeed it's morally and ethically wrong to place bets on such events which are tragic and sad, what I think is it also opens door to more research and knowledge.

While placing bets for example on events like covid, we can think of this as an opportunity of what's happening around us and how much progress we have made regarding the issue.

For example, on futuur,

I have placed a bet (not real money) on what can be considered as a safe immunity period by WHO that led to me research on past viruses and their influence and immunity period and helped me gain knowledge!

[shield132]

While watching a streamer of their gambling bets they showed a site where they had lines for something to do with it.
I was appalled when I saw one of these sportsbetting sites were having odds on the covid19 virus.
I didnt see the details of the bet but it couldnt have been good.
They should lose their license if they are putting lines up for this as it not a joke or something to bet on.

Maybe they shouldn't lose their license because of this, it's their wish to accept bets on anything they want but at the same time accepting bets on this isn't ethical. They may earn some money at the moment but I think it will be a dark spot in their business. Every business and yeah, casinos too, need to take care of their customers and respect the society, do activities that will benefit the society and increase their social status positively. Accepting bets on covid, to my mind will make their status very negative because there are a lot of people who has siblings, friends, that were a victim of covid pandemic and earning money from it, you know, is terrible.

Every business and yeah, casinos too, need to take care of their customers and respect the society, do activities that will benefit the society and increase their social status positively. Accepting bets on covid, to my mind will make their status very negative because there are a lot of people who has siblings, friends, that were a victim of covid pandemic and earning money from it, you know, is terrible.

It would really be giving out that bad impressions towards that kind of bets that they decided to offer.It isnt really that ethical for you to bet on someones lives.

Not all people would really be that too cold-hearted to be interested on kind of these bets but its up to them though since they are the ones who do make business but same as
said this will create a dark spot.

Im wondering on how many people who had actually made out some selection out of this option.

[Twinkledoe]

I have even seen a site where it is possible to bet on the number of infections from the virus.
I don't remember the name, but people are becoming more and more innovative and come up with the most strange ideas.

But where does the statistics comes from? are the data's reliable or also provided by the site?if they are providing their own Data about covid Infections then They really have a problem in mental ..

You will fabricate data's for the result of your own betting, and if the government Data they will use,leakage may happen because there might be insider that will release the data earlier than the site result, for me this is a total mess

Never a good idea to allow financial bets on disease/problems worsening in the future. Predictions like that should be done by  trusted and reputable people. Unfortunately, human judgment is not very reliable and can't be trusted...unless GOD uses a human.

This is where your morals are being tested. The site is banking on what is happening in the current pandemic. But I don't think many people will bet on this as reading the items alone is not good. This will not last long anyway.

[Kelvinid]

I don't put a bet into a thing like this.
Is there a multiple choice that could help us to determine what possibly be the result of their assessment? It could be appreciated but if none, it is just like we throwing our money into this site and all our bets are just a losing bet.

This is not the sport that we certainly know what will be the result. I feel pity for those who put a bet on this. And maybe, this was the foolish thing ever I do in my life in gambling if I do it.

Lost have disagreed into this kind of betting where they cant just afford nor accept that their betting on how many people get infected with this virus.
We had been doing our best to resolved out this global problem and yet other businesses do really make fan of making out lines for them to make money?
To those people who do bet then they arent minding as long they can make out money but on the real side of things when it comes to number of
infected person then that will be nearly impossible to be known and i agree that all of our bets would be just in the losing side.

There's definitely a lot of information you can find online, but as to reliability, no assurance about that.
Actually this kind of game is just like prediction, and your prediction is solely based on the data you can collect and the rumors you will read or hear.

Anyway, this is not really fun as per my personal experience.

well, when you gamble, no one can guarantee profit, all you can do is try to get luck, therefore gambling places have a very high risk and of course this kind of gambling is only done by people who don't need money, because they already have a lot of money and do not think about money, the important thing is to have fun while gambling.

When you do not see your luck, it is better to stop gamble for a while or leave the site or place and try to gamble on the other days. It is not better to continue gamble when you are getting lost in gambling because that can give you more losses, and it will be hard to recover the loss. You do not have to recover your losses because that will not be easy and you will need more money to be used to gamble. I admitted that as long as we can have fun while gambling, that will not be a problem and we can stop gambling anytime.

[Questat]

well, when you gamble, no one can guarantee profit, all you can do is try to get luck.....

This is wrong, you can't get luck, luck will come to you and you'll never know when it will come.
If you want to rely on luck alone, then I'm sure gambling is not a thing you have to be serious of, it's just a thing that you'll consider as fun, pure fun.

[acroman08]

Do you know if those platforms are still offering this kind of bets? Or do they have been warned or closed by local authorities since?

it seems that both betcity and parimatch has stopped offering betting odds for covid 19. although there was no mention that they stopped but I visited their website and can't find any covid related betting odd.

I'm really curious if the Site really made money on this and how many gamblers do the bets?

if there are someone whoknows the site please share here.

OP didn't mention what website it was but there were several sports betting platforms that was mentioned by the members.

[Saint-loup]

I am not surprised if there are casinos that use the COVID19 pandemic as a bet, because casinos see the COVID19 pandemic as a big
moment that can attract many people. Therefore there are casinos that are thinking of making the COVID19 pandemic a bet, although
I believe casino owners know doing this is immoral. But as we all know there are some people who do anything for money.

Attract people? lol maybe attract heartless gamblers ,because Normal people has a sympathy for others as this is talking about Lives,and not their Shit addicting vises.

You're wrong, that's not heartless gamblers, that's concerned gamblers IMO who are trying to do their best to predict the evolution of the disease with the informations they aggregate.

[Sithara007]

You're wrong, that's not heartless gamblers, that's concerned gamblers IMO who are trying to do their best to predict the evolution of the disease with the informations they aggregate.

I agree. Just placing a bet won't make anyone heartless. Gambling sites allow users to make bets on most of the topics that affect them, and not just sporting events. And making a bet is not going to make the pandemic any worse or better. It is the duty of the WHO and the national agencies to make sure that the pandemic remains contained. No need to blame the gamblers for this, when they are unable to do their job.

I kinda agree with both of you too. Gamblers here just only speculating the result of the pandemic, everything that has odds for them can anyone able to make betting. The WHO for sure is working their job and doing its task to find a cure as soon as possible, there's no correlation between the gamblers and the WHO staff, why they are argued that it becomes worst because of the gamblers.

Any activities or events that have odds can gamblers make betting on it and even political election has.

Yes you are right, this is very unethical, we should not bet in this kind of game, let us not tolerate it, boycott that game, it is not related to sports though, and let us consider that people are suffering all over the world and here we are making a bets for covid? That is so unethical work of them just to earn money.

I agree. Just placing a bet won't make anyone heartless. Gambling sites allow users to make bets on most of the topics that affect them, and not just sporting events.

No need to blame the gamblers for this, when they are unable to do their job.

Still I don't think this is a good game to place our bets, this is only for my perspective without emotional attachments, they could do other things that can attract gamblers in fun things rather than this topic, this is sensitive.

Yeah yeah we all knew that its WHO and the government which are responsible to eradicate the virus. However, betting on things like is super inappropriate . It was ridiculous! No offense dude but I absolutely disagree on that. Though technically speaking, you are not adding burden to the pandemic but the fact that you make fun of the situation is shameful.

Like what others said, this topic is not a joke. What if you found out a friendly betting on when your ill pet will die? (Just an example) You will feel bad, right? Same thing applies here. I hope you get my point.

Had forgotten about this thread, so with us still being in the pandemic these sites have slowly been taking these type of bets off their sites, one by one.
And I could not disclose which site I was referring to in the OP when this thread was first discussed about.
The site which were offering bets on the number of covid cases and deaths was:
5dimes.

of course we can speculate which kind of people are betting on this.

How can a Normal and Good person bets in something like Dying people?

You can't find it because I believe they have run into problems since I last updated this thread which was back in the middle of the year.
I don't know if they still operate because they have shutdown to all their US based clients due to lawsuits and costa rican settlements paid out to the feds, etc.

Candidly, there's nothing attach to people who are betting on this as Heartless bettors in my honest view, basically they are not the ones executing the killings around the COVID-19 but just forecasting the death through human negligence to COVID-19 established rules. There are countries that hardly obey these rules and there may be a surge in victims of the COVID-19 in that country, this is just a mere prediction IMO and not the killings itself.

[boyptc]

Good news then if that website had it removed.

The discussion about having these bets being good or bad depends on the perspective of the gambler and it won't stop until both sides agreed to others' opinions and perspectives.

Do you really think that it would be removed? No it wont but if the time comes that no gamblers will be playing on the site due for that reason then they might really close in the end.

but for legal aspects then i dont see that they would really be having any violation.Its just unethical but cant really be sued or punished on offering this kind of line.

Its up to gamblers if they do saw that this one is inappropriate for gamblers to bet on since we do talk human lives on here which it isnt really just right to make fun or make bets on it.

Just let them bet if they do continue on such behavior because people will be eventually having their own impression that will result neither they would stay or find another one.

It's best to DYOR in finding things like this. Because as for me, whatever the means are, the ends will be the one to decide whether something was good or bad. Say, these guys may have created the site for the purpose of profiteering from the virus, but we also disregarded the fact that this may also be used for researches regarding virus spread with an uptrend. So personally, if this site is being used to help people one way or another, I don't think it would be that bad.

There are different angles on this case. Good or bad, it is up to the user how he will view such platform. If you are not comfortable with it, then don't patronize this kind of business. Plain and simple. Every person has their own reasons why they are doing such task. And we are not here to judge. Just live what you think is right.

This is ridiculous and it's like they're just making fun of Covid-19. This pandemic isn't a joke and relating it to gambling is indeed an immoral act. I don't think they would succeed in that strategy if that's really their way of attracting players. We have lost lots of lives and we're all fighting different battles caused by the pandemic and I hope that they would even spare respect for it.

[BuNga_cute]

Humans are sometimes creepy in my opinion, because in fact there are heartless gamblers who consider COVID-19 as a joke.
Therefore there is a casino site that offers bets related to COVID-19, because there is indeed a demand and interest in making
COVID-19 a bet. We as normal people will be surprised by such things, hopefully there are rules that prohibit casinos from
making  COVID-19 a bet. Because this is very immoral and does not respect the people who are victims of COVID-19.

[kramchers]

I was thinking about this the other day when I remember someone creating a token about Corona Virus. It's a freaking joke to have that kind of shit being made as a project. And now people are betting on how long it would last? Or something in that sense? That's fucked up, and we know it. Don't participate in that kind of shit, it's not right, especially to the ones who are affected.

People have died because of COVID-19, don't make it worse by participating in it.

What! betting on how long it would last? That's really insane actually. Yeah, I agreed if ever there is a kind of project like that, it shouldn't be entertain anyway. Besides, there are a lot of opportunity out there in our surroundings that better those kind of things. Covid anyhow was a very serious problem that remain a problems for less than a year now.

There are just some greedy people who thought that "what's the current trend be like?" "How do we take advantage of this?" "Let's make a gamble and let people predict how long this virus is going to infect people around the world." Definitely greedy people who want more.

You know that it's already been a year since its first sighting, but the pandemic that the WHO suggested will be a year in a couple of months from now. It's taking a toll on everyone, and some new strains are being discussed. I hope there would be a vaccine sooner.

[Crptomagma]

They have really brought up some unnecessary policy that will drop their business by introducing the line but I don’t think their license will be completely withdrawn from them because they have not violated the law but rather it’s will be a market loss for them because soon enough most of their customers will stop betting on their platform

[Vaskiy]

Covid-19 affected the World economy, but the same is used as an opportunity by many to make money. One such activity is the gambling sites offering gambling access associating the pandemic attack. Thats worse, and now the third wave of pandemic have begun around. Gambling sites need to stop such kind of services.

But that is not right for gambling for other people's lives, even if they can make money from this moment. I think there are many other things that they can use for gamble or betting, so they can get fun and enjoy the games. But it is just for the suggestion to them, and if they still try to betting on that thing, we can not do anything.

[bitbollo]

for what I have seen no one official bookmaker is offering such type of bets... I don't know I am wrong but I think this has been seen just few times / illegal markets. Anyone has heard about any famous gambling site offering such bets events?

[hahay]

No and it is only offered by bookies or new sites that take advantage of the situation and also, some of them at that time they even used a name related to coronavirus as the name of the site but it doesn't seem like it lasts long because even now I personally can't find it anymore or ignore it. That way, it seems unlikely that famous sites take advantage or offer about bets on victims of Covid19 or about when Covid ends or something else.

I do not see anything wrong with such proposals, perhaps they are immoral, but this is a subjective assessment and the imposition of it by the regulatory authorities is totalitarianism.
As for earning opportunities, I am not in agreement with you - all over the world, medium and small businesses are being destroyed, only large-scale transnational companies benefit.

I haven't seen any such bets, but even if some website is offering them, there is nothing illegal. They are not causing any additional infections or deaths. They are allowing us to predict how many new infections will be there in the coming months. And seriously, I don't understand what is wrong with that. When the Johns Hopkins University makes such predictions, they get all the accolades. But when some gambling site is trying to do the same, they get the brickbats.

That's why I'm praying that None of their family or friends died of Covid because for sure ,they will Cry Bloody hard for Doing this manner when people are dying.

Hope that after betting in this gambling  and Got home their family is still complete and none is in the hospital Fighting for Life against this Virus.

Because if does ,Then Karma Moves faster.

I will not and we should all not support any gambling or betting that is CoVid related, it's unethical and it's inhumane if we support betting related to CoVid like the number of infection and how long it will last, I will not even bet anything related to it, even if it means winning one hundred times of my bet, it's a serious case that gambling site should not entertain, I remember there are a lot of CoVid related ICO and they all turned to scam and people lost a lot of money because they've support, a project that is not worth supporting.

[btc78]

Well, what can we say, betting has found place everywhere in the world on all events. While we may think that indeed it's morally and ethically wrong to place bets on such events which are tragic and sad, what I think is it also opens door to more research and knowledge.

While placing bets for example on events like covid, we can think of this as an opportunity of what's happening around us and how much progress we have made regarding the issue.

For example, on futuur,

I have placed a bet (not real money) on what can be considered as a safe immunity period by WHO that led to me research on past viruses and their influence and immunity period and helped me gain knowledge!

Actually this is at least a Good approach because the question is related to either Positive Future or More bad to come.
But not as bad on betting about the Volume of dying or the statistics of them .

Maybe gambling sites are just Riding In the popularity of covid and Found some interesting approach to gain interest for gamblers.

i would Look at this as a Neutral Betting.
