All of that in my opinion depends on each person's opinion, and of course there will be pros and cons to betting on disability sports, some people may believe that those who bet on the paralympic think they don't respect people who have disabilities and they shouldn't be made a bet , but some may feel that all sports can be bet so they don't care about anything else.
so Ethical or not in my opinion is the perception of each of us in terms of which we will judge it.

We will soon see the start of the Paralympic Games.... ( 24 Aug 2021 to 5 Sept 2021 ) ...so I was thinking if it was ethical to bet on these events? Will it be disrespectful towards people with disabilities or will they want to be handled in the same manner that any other athlete wants to be handled? 

I spoke to a few disabled people at work and they have no problem if their athletes get the same attention as any other athlete that competes in the Olympic Games.  Wink  They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way...

So what do you guys and gals think..... ?

First of all, I do think that we cannot speak for anyone. They might all share their own personal opinion and that is what matters at the end of the day, therefore it would be wise to not make any assumptions.

I do think that everyone should be treated the same but at the same time in the borders of respect for what they are doing, what they are going through and how they are handling it.

In my opinion they deserve the same chances and the same idealistic principals because they made it to Olympics which is already a big deal and they are capable enough, maybe even more. It's takes a lot of courage and strength to steer through difficult situations.

There seems to be no problem betting on paralympic sports, because that way at least the sport can be famous, because to be honest there are still many people with disabilities who experience a decrease in their confidence to be able to excel, because when many people bet on the sport, of course at least the sport will be the talk of people many.
What I think is unethical is when sports organizers and bookies cheat on the results obtained by the sports participants.

Exactly, treating them different and being overreactive and overprotective over them is going to be insincere for us to do since it only makes them feel like they don't belong because even though the treatment is positive, we still see them as a different kind of people. It's unethical if people are getting intentionally hurt or they're humiliated without their their consent and their being forced to do what they're supposed to do in the games.

Those participating in this Paralympic do not even think of the word disabilities or they are less equal to real athletes, if we think it's unethical we disrespect them because we think they are less superior to Olympic athletes that we put our bets on, so we should bet on them and let them know that we support them and we treat them equally like normal average athletes.

Yes, I agree with you.  Excessive custody of people is a serious problem in the modern world. 

Man is originally a powerful fighter.  He is able to conquer Everest, swim across the ocean on a bamboo raft (the journey of Thor Heyerdahl on the Kon-Tiki raft) and fight a thousand enemies. 

One man can fertilize thousands of women with his own semen.  His descendants can inhabit all continents of the planet Earth. 

However, the idea is now popular in the world that people need daily petty care.  Everyone worries that someone may offend someone. 

Paralympic athletes are courageous people (men and women). 

I'm sure they don't want to have any special status different from other people.

Any disabled person would always feel to be treated as like other are treated. I would say, lets just enjoy the game with spirit irrespective of players ability or skills. Lets our spirit bring more vibration and enthusiasm to the players by either betting or encouraging them by any means. Betting is always a push to the players to play better and win. So, the players would certainly play towards the win. Its a kind of support the audience / bettors give to players.

Respect is very important, but will they get disrespected if we bet on their games? Nah, because they might even bet on their games too, lol.. they are just humans like us, they feel the satisfaction and they also want to be rewarded with money. Let's just continue betting if we enjoy watching them, otherwise, if it's a violation against the will of the Paralympic players, then we will not gonna see betting odds on any gambling site.

They would rather be impressed or would be glad if they do saw that there's someone who had  betting into their  performance on particular games just like on how we do treat those normal athletes and with that alone
they would surely appreciate in regards on how we do treat them and i dont see any problems with that.It  doesnt  mean about being  ethical or not because this is just really depending on someones interest.
Bet according to your interest and wont mind about if its ethical  or not because we do have different views in life or on particular things in life.Some  might be looking this one to be not right 
but there are some who doesnt really  care at all.

^ I even salute them and respect should also be there, they are very strong behind of their situation they can able to participate in sports and to become the game balance, they had a competition like this. And now, there is no reason that we can't bet their games, it is also entertaining to place a bet in an unpredictable fight like racing of a wheelchair. In any form of the game, we can be able to place bets as long as there is possible odds.

When we talk about gambling, it is actually possible that the gamblers will not pay too much ethical or not, especially if they see the rewards so big.
Sometimes, they don't distinguish against things that are betting for them, whether it's a paralympic or not.
They might assume the same. And moreover, it is gambling on the sports, not on the person personally itself.

We will soon see the start of the Paralympic Games.... ( 24 Aug 2021 to 5 Sept 2021 ) ...so I was thinking if it was ethical to bet on these events? Will it be disrespectful towards people with disabilities or will they want to be handled in the same manner that any other athlete wants to be handled? 

I spoke to a few disabled people at work and they have no problem if their athletes get the same attention as any other athlete that competes in the Olympic Games.  Wink  They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way...

So what do you guys and gals think..... ?

Honestly why would anyone do that, seriously.  If you know the odds between multiple people and follow the paralytic odds you need to find something else to do. Enjoy the games for what they are, no need to bet on them cmon.
You are in the gambling section of bitcointalk here not on a sport forum. So I don't think many people would be interested to watch those contests without betting on them here. If you only like to watch sports without betting on them you should go on a sports forum instead, but it's a really boring leisure I think.

When we talk about gambling, it is actually possible that the gamblers will not pay too much ethical or not, especially if they see the rewards so big.
Sometimes, they don't distinguish against things that are betting for them, whether it's a paralympic or not.
They might assume the same. And moreover, it is gambling on the sports, not on the person personally itself.
Yes, the gamblers care about how they can bet with sports betting.
As long as they can place the bet on something that they know, they will do that.
Yes, that is gambling and after all, a gambler does that without telling the athletes and nobody will know where the gamblers will place the bet.
But sometimes, they prefer to just watch and not betting at all because they think they want to know more details about the game and the athletes.

I would say it would be unethical of you if you are a passionate bettor and will not place a bet on those competitions only for the reason, that the participants have a mental or physical Handicap. I am pretty sure that they want to be treated just like the other athlets and therefore it would probably insult them, if you would not place a bet on their games. That being said i don't even know how many sites are offering bets for the Paralympics, as it is pretty hard to calculate the odds because people with different types of handicaps are often in the same competition.

I don't know why this need to be an issue , since the Paralympic players wanted themselves to be treated as normal so if we can bet on the regular players then why not on them? if they will read this thread, for sure they will feel insulted as they are also playing for their own goal in life, to win for  themselves and for their countries .
let them play and be treated fairly and not as special like this.

That's because some people need attention so they make what's already normal seem like it's bad just to stir up a pointless debate. Of course it's ethical for the people to bet on those games because not doing so means that we are excluding them from what's normal. I remember the words that one of my friend said, as long as you don't point that I am black and you treat me like how you treat other people then we won't have any problem.

I think the folks that you've.asked are right, treating them like they're different is much more offensive and pointing out things that they can't change is just an added salt to the wound that they're already have which they're going to bear for the rest of their life. I think there's no qualms with betting on their games, it's much more exciting because you know that with their disabilities, the matches are unpredictable all throughout and as a gambler, that's what I like the most.

The fact that Paralympics exist means disabled people want to prove to the world that their disabilities are not a hindrance to show their ability to play sports like the normal people do in Olympics. Betting in Paralympics is just the same on betting to Olympic games, so there's nothing unethical about it. The only unethical would be booing them while they are playing and discouraging them to stop doing what they want in their lives.

I think the same as them, in my experience those that face some kind of disability do not want our pity they just want to be treated like everyone else, so I do not really see why it will be disrespectful to them to put a bet or two on those events when we do that very same thing for other athletes, so if you feel like it and you think it will bring you entertainment watching those games by all means put that bet as there is nothing wrong in doing something like that.

I see that almost everyone agrees that it's okay to bet on the Paralympics. Now I would like to know - does anyone follow this sporting event and place bets? To be honest, I know little about the strength of the athletes here, so I don't bet, but if someone gives advice on what to pay attention to, I will gladly do it.
