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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As what they say, Birds of the same feather Flock together ,what can you expect from this kind of game ?
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?

this is Only for Heartless person .

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.

Don't know the entire story to which these events came about because before this topic when I posted about it, I hadn't ever heard of this sportsbook before.

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.

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.
