Betting on the war

[South Park]

Some sites let us bet on politics, I remember some years ago I win an x5 when trump won as president of the United States and that was my last bet on politics, but now I was curious if there are sites to bet in the current war.

After searching I only find this site to bet in the current conflict:
https://futuur.com/q/149986/will-russia-take-kiev-by-force-by-the-end-of-2022

I don't feel is ethical to bet in a conflict like this and I will not, but I want to discuss the topic, what does the community think about this kind of bet.

This is something that is simply not correct, there is a big difference between a political election and a war, I also made a bet for Trump to win, even if I did not liked him, and I earned a decent amount out of it, but in the case of this war we are talking about lives being lost or turned upside down and a country losing the opportunity to determine their own fate, so while in theory people can gamble their money in anything they want I hope that people do not do this as the topic is too serious to trivialize it in this way.

Yeah, I do agree with the sentiments of most posters here, it seems that gambling platforms have taken advantage of the situation about the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

So it's unethical to me as well, the only thing I can do though is not to stake anything about it. But it's hard to stop that gambling platform to have this kind of bet.

I would agree that it is unethical and it honestly never even crossed my mind that people would consider doing such a thing.  I guess I'm a believer that bets like this should have a right to exist on prediction sites, I wouldn't participate and would probably think less of anyone that did.  Prediction sites are great when their community is good and honorable though.  I remember one of the early Bitcoin sites I interacted with a lot was bets4bitco.in or something like that...  Anyway, most of the bets were about fun things like whether or not aliens would be confirmed to exist by the US Government by a certain date.  Unfortunately it turned out to be a scam and everyone's coins were stolen.  It was fun while it lasted though.

Only futuur do make out such betting line which  it might be part of their future kind of betting but they should at least made out some exemption of this one because its no fun on seeing
people dying and make out bets and thinking on making money for yourself which is very unethical to do so. Surprisingly there are sites who do really make out some this kind of
betting which for sure it would give out some negative impressions on that site

[Baofeng]

There is really something wrong here, very bad and immoral to have this kind of betting prediction. Same here, I wouldn't participated. This kind of prediction sites have existed for many years in crypto space, but this is the first time that I've heard that a certain platform is trying to exploit a the conflict that we are seeing right now.

[Gozie51]

Yeah unethical Somehow feels wrong if I bet on any conflict involving humans and cruelty like war, never looking for it on any platform either. I think it's crazy, there is such a bet maybe we all won't do it bet between the blood of innocent people, so sad.

It is actually a weird thing to do. This is human life not like is animated features captured in animals like bull fight or some other animals. I don't think I will have to do such betting because it is not a joke that people are dying. Taking human lives for joke in the time of war is looking unpatriotic, unsympathetic and dehumanizing. I think the sites shouldn't have allowed this type of betting but anyways , in times of sorrow it is time for another to joy.

[Vaskiy]

Everything is business and the gambling platform have tried to make some revenue out of the conflict. When some is suffering for the survival and the same is being used as a way of money making isn't a fair game. It is unethical and not many join this. We can report this to the platform and surely they'll remove it. If this continues we might see the betting odds for the number of deaths on each country, befor that happens it is good to stop them.

[gagux123]

wow, is this really serious!!? In fact, is there some kind of way to bet on countries during the war?

I confess that I am very surprised by the ability of some people to "play" with these types of things. Well, betting on politics or something similar until it's acceptable (up to a point), betting on which party can win the elections or something like that (this is acceptable)

But betting on a certain country and knowing which one will be victorious or not during a war, this is unethical and immoral (of course this is my humble opinion about this subject).

I'm curious for this phrase @Vaskiy ... can you give me some examples of gambling platform "that have make revenue out of the conflict?" excluding some tokens that allow you to set any condition in a smart-contract ... I don't think there are gambling platforms that have speculated on this conflict (nor on other conflicts) ....

[Yogee]

.... I don't feel is ethical to bet in a conflict like this and I will not, but I want to discuss the topic, what does the community think about this kind of bet.

I would not place a bet on that but I' m not going to stop or condemn others who would do so. Don't be surprised if you see lines on the occurrence of a world war 3 or if EU accept Ukraine as one of member country.

It may be worthy to note that gambling itself is deemed unethical in some regions or ruled as illegal and yet we find it okay if some people don't follow that.

[Oceat]

People are dying and they make like this as if life to them is a joke?

People who made this one are either sick or hungry to make money just for the click just like how vloggers does on their thumbnail.
If on voting for politics I would agree with that since it's normal to vote for democratic country but voting on a dying people is not good.

Where are their manners?

And is there really a betting platform that managed to profit from it!!?

Well, unfortunately there is a saying in my country that goes like this, "While some cry, others sell handkerchiefs"
But I make it clear that I am totally against this type of act, as I already explained in my comment above.

Even from my gambling perspective side, I don't see myself betting on that kind of situation.

Innocent lives are getting killed every day with that bullsh*t attack wherein it's not totally about between country's war*** but instead more on leader's ego which is just instructing commands on their airconditioned room. Some might contradict me here since technically, I'm not a Russian or Ukrainian but we can take this to the Politics section for a much deeper debate.

Moving forward, there's no way I will bet on this. Because of that war, fuel price pumped here (which actually already pumped even prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine) and as a person who uses a car daily for work-related trips, I'm now seeing the big effect on it.

[chaser15]

I'm sure the site that will open a betting market for that will received backlash from the gamblers and might be, they will not support that site anymore. It's unethical to bet on that kind of event as war is even worst than a pandemic. There's a betting back then about pandemics but it's not something that started with a force from a country against other nations.

That's the worst bet. I don't see I will satisfy to win a $100 where there's a people suffering worst than having a Covid-19.

I'm not going to support that kind of betting for an obvious reason.

There are lots of usual betting to choose from, why shift into something not ethical? I also can't imagine that there will be a betting site that will open a betting market for it. What do they think about the situation? Creating money out from the worst situation just to make sure their business will make a profit.

I don't know but maybe there are people who like to bet on that. I can't understand them so good luck to them and hope they won't hit bad karma later on.

I find it unethical to bet in a war nobody wins in a war and it's something that you don't do because there are people involved in it but that's the nature of Futuur you can create a betting discussion like this, it may seem natural but not appealing to me, even if you win a war you still lose because of the cost and lives you lose too.

Are there really people who will bet on this? What do they think of the situation? A joke?

There are people who are just doing their daily routine then suddenly will be bombed out of nowhere.

Russia is more of acting as a terrorist here. Why kill innocent civilians? I don't understand the root cause but I'm not dumb to think that their doings are brutal.

That's how this casino works if you know how this casino works anything can be created here and make people bet on it, even killings and war, I don't find this kind of betting attractive to people who find war abominable, war should not be treated as sort of game because lives of people are at stake here.
When you are betting you are hoping and praying that what you expect to happen will happen, you don't want to bet on one side to inflict damage to the other site, you are making yourself a devil's advocate.

[seoincorporation]

Well, after reading your comments looks like no one likes the idea of betting on this kind of event. And all of you are right, the war is something terrible and not something to bet on.

If any casino decides to let users bet on this it will be terrible propaganda, and it could cost some customers for the business.

Betting on something like this is super sick. I don't understand how people could bet on a war outcome where people die. Thats like betting on the date of a terminally ill child's departure from this world. That is not ok!

We have some lines that we should never cross, as human beings. If you feel ashamed or bad at the idea of doing or saying something, thats your instinct telling you its not ok. Trust your instinct on that matter.
