Sometimes betting is just ridiculous. Sometimes it is complete nonsense.

I understand that this is fake and was made for a joke. But some people dont know what jokes should be ended or are inappropriate... However, since some casinos have "special" section in sports betting (why this is in sports betting anyway?), and allow to place bets on election outcome, or on Oscar winner, or on music event like Eurovision, I would not be much surprised that in 5 or 10 years we would really have such absurd betting options. And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

SOMEBODY PHOTOSHOPPED THIS. THIS IS NOT A REAL BET.

Betting on war? How can bookies be providing service for their customers to be betting on war. Betting on who to win election, who to be the next miss world and something entertaining is better, but betting on war is just not appropriate and not entertaining at all. But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

[Ojima-ojo]

It is absolutely no surprise to me at all to know or say that in the current world we live in today, if gambling casinos were to make a section avaliable on where gamblers will able to bet in wars, that is, when a war is ongoing, gamblers are able to bet on which country will win the war, I trust and believe that a lot of gamblers will wholeheartedly jump on it, most especially, if it comes with some really good odds.

The truth of the matter is, most people in the world today no longer care or give a damn about other people's welfare, they just wanna make money for themselves at every given opportunity, and it doesnt matter who is dying, as long as its not them or their relatives, they wil have fun with it if given the opportunity.

[Hypnosis00]

I find it inappropriate to offer a betting option on the winner of a war; it's just edited, and the screenshot isn't even clear. Regarding other betting options, such as elections, Oscar winners, or music event winners, I don't see anything wrong with that, as people enjoy betting on various events.

What I believe is that a regulated casino won't joke around on serious matters, especially those that involve the lives of many.

Jokes are made for fun, but I think this one is not funny at all. Reputable casinos do not entertain this kind of bet as it could only offend those countries involved and might trigger for another war. And obviously no one wins in a war, as both countries have put their people in danger.

However, if you do this kind of bet between your friends, this could be possible but I still see it very inappropriate when people bet on war while seeing those countries affected still struggling to survive.

For those who did not understand the message of the topic - dont focus on just betting on war, think more wide. What is a joke today, tomorrow will turn into betting on nonsense. Well, I dont know, for example, to place a bet on if someone will cut his leg or not. If people want this and be ready to bet, will casinos add such nonsense bets, or they have concept of morality after all? Will casinos do everything to earn or not?

For those who cant read what is written on screenshot and find it unclear, I have left a source link to Instagram video.

[_act_]

I have just later think of this, it is true that war is not good, but people that are using it to bet are not the one causing the war, their bet do not add any benefit or harm to the war. If they bet on it, I do not think there is anything bad about it. If people do not want such a bet, they should tell the governments of the world not to go against each other in a way that will lead to war, but that is not possible. But if there is no war, there will be no bet like this.

You don’t need to wait for 5 to 10 years because Futuur provides a prediction in almost every aspect of life such as life on mars  to movie and politics specifics betting option.

The betting option that you provide is very special occasions just in case it will be a norm in the future since a world war will make the earth destroy in general due to the mass destruction weapon available in every rich country.

[Dzwaafu11]

Sure, mate, it’s not surprising the betting war on which country will win such a game given the fact that people bet on wrestling. However, the way gamblers are dealing with their gambling activities nowadays, they do it just to get some money to cover things up, but most people will be betting this kind of thing for the sake of making money. Gamblers who do it fun won’t stake something like this.

The truth of the matter is, most people in the world today no longer care or give a damn about other people's welfare, they just wanna make money for themselves at every given opportunity, and it doesnt matter who is dying, as long as its not them or their relatives, they wil have fun with it if given the opportunity.

Some people will gamble this even if it’s related to them; some people don’t care; they only need money and want to utilise any single opportunity that comes their way, and you know how they are going with this inflation. Now every gambler won’t hesitate to use it and make money, but that is for those gamblers that are using gambling money to feed people or to meet their needs.

[mamesso]

War. There were many tragic incidents in it, infrastructure was destroyed, the wheels of the economy stopped, many lives were lost in vain, children experienced extraordinary traumatized. From several of these events that can be caused by war, in my opinion it is not worth betting on certain parties who prioritize war.

War is a human tragedy, it is inhumane to expect one party to destroy the other party in order to win a bet. It is clear that it makes no sense to bet on war, everyone knows that war is a very serious matter, because many innocent lives have to be separated from their bodies. I think war is not to make some kind of bet or joke and casinos will not make jokes like this.

I guess when there's a side that will win or lose, betting will never know no bounds, pretty sure that there are people out there that's doing bets with their friends on this kind of stuff, these betting site just happens to want to make a profit out of it, although deplorable we can't blame these soulless people to do this kind of stuff. I don't know how to deal with this, probably just ignoring it might work as even if we were to make a big deal out of it, it's not going to help those that are affected by the war anyway, better if you donate in the relief fund for those affected by the war than be mad about this crazy bet.

[Cantsay]

Well, I dont know, for example, to place a bet on if someone will cut his leg or not.

If they want to chase clouts, then let them use something else because I don’t see why anyone with a sane mind would go to his system and design something like this and upload to their social media handle. Honestly, there are things that should be done and some that should be off limit or just keep it to your self and don’t display them to the public.

If people want this and be ready to bet, will casinos add such nonsense bets, or they have concept of morality after all? Will casinos do everything to earn or not?

If their traffic from those sites are not that much they could decide to introduce the game but it will be at the risk of them losing everyone from that country that use them as a bookie.  On a more realistic note I don’t think anything like this will happen like you said it’s just someone fooling around on the internet.

[Vaculin]

Betting on war never makes sense at all. And what kind of casino that is expected to deal on this, if there's any then that could be an illegal one. And those who probably bet on this have no sense of right thinking as they chose to make fun of the event despite of how many people that have lost their lives on a war.

Although I still believe that betting on this sensitive topic is still possible, but they must have done it in shady areas as only those fools who are eager to win in gambling suicide to enter this kind of betting.

[acroman08]

I assume the guy who posted this on Instagram is not the one who made the edited images. whoever made those images is a POS, not only it is insensitive, but he/she is also making a mockery of the suffering of the people who are suffering from the war. also, jokes are supposed to be funny.

And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

if casino owners online or not have any kind of human decency they wouldn't allow it despite having a demand for such betting from bettors, but who knows, there are people who are greedy and as long as they are not physically affected by the war I doubt they will understand how scary a war is and it is not something that you should bet on.

[Jawhead999]

And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

It's only possible when the casino is using western regulation, but if the war attacking one of western country it will be impossible.

With the current generation where money is the most important, there's a possibility they might add it in the future. Girls selling nudes or videos in Onlyfans and people who fool themselves to earn traffic are already normal.

[uchegod-21]

Gambling is not limited to sports alone. Gamblers can bet on anything including war. I have seen cases where Gamblers place bets on women, especially those ones that prove to be too hard to get. Anyone who is able to convince the woman wins the bet. As ridiculous as it may seem, that's gambling for you and many derive fun doing this.

This now becomes a matter of personal decision to decide on what exactly to bet on. It is not morally right to gamble on humans especially when the victims are being affected negatively. During wars, lives and properties are lost, people become internally displaced along with other negative effects of war. This is a time they need our prayers,  moral support and even resources. Making money from this situation shows no regards for humanity.

[Yogee]

I understand that casinos are for business at the end of the day but I still think the owners are realistic and have some common sense. Wars are not like sport matches that you can clearly determine the winner because there is a time limit and a scoring system. Imagine if they opened a line for two warring countries like Ukraine and Russia and the bets wouldn't be settled for more than 2 years or more. It's just not practical.

[Agbe]

Betting on who to win election, who to be the next miss world and something entertaining is better, but betting on war is just not appropriate and not entertaining at all. But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

Probably they will do it like war video game where gamblers will select their side and play the game the best and the skillful players will win the game. It will look like a football game station where gamblers pay for the service and play to have funs and bet in it if they want. Smile! Yes I have also seen people betting on election day who to win. But in election, if there is no manipulation the winner is always clear to know. And that is not a lucky game but a sure win. Really betting on war is ridiculous because you don't know who will win. And as I said, it will be a video game and not for live bet.

[piebeyb]

Yes, fortunately it was just a joke, if there was a possibility that the bet really existed I would not bet on a bet that involved war, that's why I think war can't be a joke because it also involves innocent victims, so I don't think it's appropriate made into a joke but everyone is free to do it as long as they have full responsibility for their behavior, I'm not really interested in betting on that bet.

I think sports betting is more fun and makes sense for me, after all this not only fulfills my gambling needs for something different and extreme, but it is better to gamble on what we usually bet on, for example football and the many leagues available today as well as other sporting events. what could possibly be bet on compared to a bet like this about war, it's not really that interesting, the world of gambling is getting weirder by the day  

[retreat]

This is not the first time bookies have provided a place for betting on war, as far as I know on the Ukrainian and Russian wars there were several bookies that provided bets on who would win or how many casualties would fall on either side. This is disgusting, how could someone have the heart to post a bet like this. What if this happened to them? Don't they have a little heart to grieve? or at least just ignore it if they don't think it's important.
I think the bookies should take action against this, because it's disgusting how these fools bet on something that really shouldn't be bet on.

I am not surprised by this because there are people with weird interest and fantasies. If there are people who bet on underground illegal cage fights where people fight to their deaths, or other extreme reality games, I will not be surprised about people betting on war and crisis.

People who will bet on these kinds of termed sports have some mental disorder that they are either aware of or not aware of.

But if there is no war, there will be no bet like this.

The fact that war is political in all senses of things,  we can and are free to open up a bet on the war,  the shade of another man's blood is bad in all senses,  so for that, we tend to condemn every genocide of any nature,  but also we have to open up the fact that not all war is fought in physical take economic war, for instance, it's still a very strong weapon that countries use against each other.

So for sure,  war when it is political is fair enough to be gambled on,  but anything that has to do with killing of kids,  women and vulnerable people is bad and should be condemned.

[coin-investor]

And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

They are going to lose their reputation and it will backfire for their being insensitive, war is bad and when you talk of war you talk of atrocities you do not make a bet on war, even if they say there is demand I doubt if the casino will do that, they will receive backlash not only from the gambling community but from the international community as well.

In fact, if casinos are in profit they should donate to victims of wars regardless of race.
Casinos should leave war and gamblers should be responsible for requesting this, although I doubt if there will be requests like that

[ryzaadit]

I guess this is at stake right?
- It's stupid
- How they can verify these bet

I know, most of casinos use a bookie provider. So, it's not always from casino fault but really they're not checking these type of bet? from a hundred match and provider list these bet ? what a joke.

yeah.. I'm sure sane people would say that it would totally be insensitive and wrong for casinos to offer betting on war. War is a terrible thing that causes immense suffering and loss of life. It is not something that should be trivialized or gamified. Ideally no one should not profit from war, especially casinos. Instead, they should use their profits to help victims of war. This would be a much more positive and constructive use of their resources.

I hope that casinos will reconsider their plans to offer betting on war. I would better if there is an societal institution to urge them to think about the impact that this would have on victims of war and their families, and also urge gamblers to boycott casinos that offer betting on war. I think it would be nice if there are people who stand together against this insensitive and harmful practice.

[danherbias07]

Very inappropriate indeed. Whoever did that must have nothing to do in his life anymore. I know many people today need a lot of attention to gain viewers but this is just stepping over the line.
There are so many things that can be done to gain followers and viewers but war is a delicate talk and there are a lot of people suffering because of it.
Yes, I guess there will be a lot of difference in the next 5-10 years to come in the gambling industry. It may not be about war but they will seek something that people like to talk about and they will use that trend to make money especially now that gambling is one of the biggest industries in the financial world. There are still a lot of different sports that I don't see being covered by them, perhaps someday they will also be listed even if they are cruel or inappropriate.

Man, for a moment I thought it was real and I had missed it up somehow. I am glad it is not an actual thing, though.
I would not say betting is ridiculous, but some of the topics people can be willing to bet on are, that edit you shared with us is a clear example of what the future of some casinos could be (hopefully not).
I would wish people could think beyond the money or the posibility of winning a bet and would not participate in bets which involve literal bloodshed.
Let us stick to traditional betting and only put money on sport matches, beauty contests, sane politics and special events instead.
We should not stand so low to find entertainment while betting on war...

[Accardo]

It's not going to be fun, as people don't love taking advantage over the pains of others. I don't see the essence of staking games on war. The idea may have been in existence and some people may secretly practice it, all for money. Although, casino wouldn't venture into such kind of gambling, but people can be weird and would venture into any form of gambling activity for fun. It's risky to present war odds to gamblers, a colossal amount of gamblers wouldn't agree to it, thereby affecting the revenue of the casino. As they'll lose out on customers. Though, ridiculous ideas can be initiated, yet humanity comes first in all aspect of life. Some casinos may have tried this in the past and didn't find success, that's why it's not rampant. How would people detect the actual date a war is meant to commence or how long it would last before it comes to an end. Isn't it mockery to laugh when others are crying over their loved ones. Gamblers should focus more on other untapped deserving activities, which requires to be used for fun. This is just an absurd idea or suggestion.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Yes, people would bet on all sorts of crazy stuff. And this didn't start now. Many years ago in the Roman Empire people bet on gladiators to fight to death. Wars should be shocking to anyone. And I will not be surprised if there is a bet for the country where the next pandemic will break out from. I wonder the casinos who give odds for this have no ethical or moral judgement. And people who bet on these types of events are morally depraved too.

This is totally nonsense but well  what do you expect, the world as it's seem is getting worse everyday in terms of ethics and things that makes sense. How would anyone see it fit to even think of betting on wars, I mean it's just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Recently they have been many crazy things that is happening even outside the gambling world but many people seem to see this as the right things which is very bad, you can take the sex championship that happened in Sweden for example, and am many people actually placed bet in that competition also.

Gambling is a game of probability and events and when people don't know the outcome of an event, they can bet on it, so I don't really think it is a big deal to even worry about. Let's say this forum for example, Satoshi left the forum over some years ago and then all of a sudden, there are speculations that he is going to return, don't you think there will be talk everywhere because nobody is for certain can say anything concerning the future of Satoshi, these are one of the kind of stuff we can bet on because nobody knows for sure the result and casino loves them because they make mad money from this events.

Sometimes, these options that you see around are a result of demand from the players, the company can not set up what will not be profitable but when the requests come from people who want to bet on the option, then the casino will provide for sure. Expect more ridiculous options if people want to see more. I think Grammy and Oscar are very fun to even start but these things can be manipulated by organizers because they are not controlled like sports, entertainment and betting shouldn't mix though but its what people want they provide I think.

I think this is edited? The images is not that clear tho. Betting who is winning in a war is completely ridiculous and insane, you know? there's a lot of lives taken and those kids who doesnt know anything and innocent are suffering to their country. It is very inappropriate to make fun of this as you know that this is a serious matter and it can affect other countries too. What is happening to the world? seems like were living in a cruel world.

This is downright just not respectful to those stricken by the conflict and those who lost their lives unknowingly. I understand other government-related events like presidential elections or special changes in the government, but this should not even be there on the list. Then again, a lot of people and huge corporations make money irrespective of emotions and conditions of other people, so what you see here is happening, unfortunately.

Different people has different ways to view an event or something in particular. Of course if we would ask the majority, all of us would say it is a topic we shouldn't make fun about or even bet. It involve lives and struggling of people. However, some people are having low sympathy towards others and we won't be able to do anything about it. The least thing we could do is to either support or avoid betting with such topics if it is outside our interest.

Anything could be gambled about; presidency, and even the weirdest topics we know as long as there are two or more different  biases and opinion, and as long as people behind the differences would be willing to put money on it. That's just how generic gambling is.

we could make huge profits from the bet we thought would never give us winnings. This is one of the reasons why gambling can be ridiculous or purely nonsense. We might make profits from bet we thought we will never make winnings from. All we have to do as a gambler is to keep trying our best for us to make huge profit one day. The people that had been winning jackpot and crashing casinos finance are doing that or reaching that level because of consistency. This is one of the ways for us to profit and make expected winnings without even having the hope.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Really, sometimes bets can be this ridiculous sometimes. Anything can be bet on, but some situations are special and it is unethical to place any bets on them. I can understand Sportmaker, maybe the bettors wanted it so much and they made it happen, that's why I can't be angry.

I can only say that I was upset when I saw this bet. There were also bettors who placed bets on the Ukrainian-Russian war, they can be really ridiculous sometimes.

[electronicash]

i looked it up on Stake, there is none of this on their list. it's fake.
betting platform knows this is gonna be controversial to list such a thing. presidential candidates are okay or something like oscar awards is fun. even if he meant it as a joke to get followers, it's not morally right to do this regardless of which side he is betting. but damn he is supported by his followers seeing it got a lot of views with 152,431 likes.

SOMEBODY PHOTOSHOPPED THIS. THIS IS NOT A REAL BET.

I thought it was a real one, lol! The first time i do saw it, then i have in mind that on what the f*ck did i just saw? War tab on a betting site? How could they be including this sort of stuff?

These are the questions that do comes up into my mind on first glance but later on then it would really be just that impossible that betting sites will really be that allowing such line
considering that its never been ethical on betting someones lives or people who are dying and people do make out some bets? It is really just that brutal.

It doesnt really make sense on this regard and to the one who had photoshopped it, then i dont see for it to be impossible or simply does have make sense.
It is really just that people around doesnt really like on seeing these type of things specially talking about war, how much about on making bets or wager into it?

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, people would bet on all sorts of crazy stuff. And this didn't start now. Many years ago in the Roman Empire people bet on gladiators to fight to death. Wars should be shocking to anyone. And I will not be surprised if there is a bet for the country where the next pandemic will break out from. I wonder the casinos who give odds for this have no ethical or moral judgement. And people who bet on these types of events are morally depraved too.

we could make huge profits from the bet we thought would never give us winnings. This is one of the reasons why gambling can be ridiculous or purely nonsense. We might make profits from bet we thought we will never make winnings from. All we have to do as a gambler is to keep trying our best for us to make huge profit one day. The people that had been winning jackpot and crashing casinos finance are doing that or reaching that level because of consistency. This is one of the ways for us to profit and make expected winnings without even having the hope.

Because it's ridiculous, that's why we have to make gambling a place that is only for entertainment, the final situation always cannot be completely predicted and as you said, sometimes when we don't expect a win, the win  actually comes by itself, which means we are right. - really lucky that session. On the other hand, you cannot say that gamblers must be able to maximize their gambling so that they can win, this is contrary to what you previously said above, where the conclusion is that the final result is always unpredictable and that means what things we must maximize. while on the other hand, only luck will determine it?

Is there anything else that is quite meaningful and influential that people who win big jackpots do? I think not, I would say that they were really lucky in that  session, on the other hand you said consistency in trying to chase victory, I think that would just be a waste of your time and money, you have to understand what What is meant by the concept of luck in gambling, no matter how often you gamble, if you are not lucky then you lose, so it is better to try to apply lots of limits, that is better.

[Mr.suevie]

i looked it up on Stake, there is none of this on their list. it's fake.
betting platform knows this is gonna be controversial to list such a thing. presidential candidates are okay or something like oscar awards is fun. even if he meant it as a joke to get followers, it's not morally right to do this regardless of which side he is betting. but damn he is supported by his followers seeing it got a lot of views with 152,431 likes.

That's simply shows how shallow minded people can actually be and although you have checked it and it's false but the possibility of this particular game actually being featured in any casino can't be written off because the human race now is UpTo something else and to even have the thought of this just show how stupid and cruel people can be.

Betting on war? How can bookies be providing service for their customers to be betting on war. Betting on who to win election, who to be the next miss world and something entertaining is better, but betting on war is just not appropriate and not entertaining at all. But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

Have you ever thought that there is a war bet and we don't know how to make an analysis of the bet? Even though this is just a joke, I don't think it will ever happen in betting because betting on war is unethical, and we take pleasure in the suffering of people who die.
Maybe the bet still makes sense with the election betting, Miss World and we will find out from the side of those who have prepared for this tournament, but my war is impossible, even though you would never do it.

[Nwada001]

Anything that will attract attention to a casino and increase their revenue is what they are going to do. This is not new, and, providing there is no law which stands against such, they will continue doing it and many other casinos will buy the idea. 
 
In my country there is a local and international in-house-competition, they normally use to host on a yearly basis, a lot of companies including bet companies have been part of their sponsorship. This is just a competition, where housemates are inside and do all sorts of in-house-games and all that. During this period most of our local bet companies add this to their Prediction-option and allow users to predict, who will be the winner at the end of the day. 
 
But this warside is really out of it. That could bring some legal action to the casinos who add that, as it will look as if they are in support of war and they also be accused of sponsoring a side of the country in war with each other.

[Weawant]

Personally I see this as unacceptable, why would the bookies make a bet out of war, something that is traumatizing some other people, causing them to grieve and here is another making money off it , except it's photoshopped and not real, such shouldn't be tolerated by regulatory bodies of the country where such bookies are found.

The out come of election, Oscar and other entertainment related awards could be put up for gambling by bookies and that could be considered fine but war is out of place because making money off people's pain sounds inhumane. I know reputable casinos knowing how much trouble such can causes, will never put up such in their casinos for people to bet on because it will definitely tell on their reputation.

[CryptSafe]

I think this is a joke taken too far. It is very inappropriate for them to have done that. I understand that who ever did it was just doing it for fun but there are things that ought not to be taken for granted as this. Things of this nature are very much sensitive and as such should not be taken for granted.  
War is not what people wish to experience again in their lives and here someone is making jokes out if it. Do they know the thousands of lives already lost as a result of the war to be making such fun on betting for who will win a war or whatever the case may be. This is absurd and a no no for me.

[Stable090]

Betting on war never makes sense at all. And what kind of casino that is expected to deal on this, if there's any then that could be an illegal one. And those who probably bet on this have no sense of right thinking as they chose to make fun of the event despite of how many people that have lost their lives on a war.

No gambling site is supposed to have this kind of betting option on their gambling site. How will people gamble on countries fighting war? It sounds crazy to me. I know if this kind of option is available on gambling sites, people will place bets on it, but it’s not making any sense in any way. War is not what we will pray for, people are losing their lives and properties, and we shouldn’t be happy about that. There are just some things that I just think are not supposed to be on gambling sites.
 
I have seen lots of gambling sites giving the option for everyone to gamble on the outcome of an election, which I see as normal, everyone has the right to select a leader, and we have the right to vote for whomever we want during an election, but it’s not making sense to me to see who is going to win or lose a war being implemented on a gambling platform, and gambling sites caught should be punished for implementing that.

[Renampun]

I understand that this is fake and was made for a joke. But some people dont know what jokes should be ended or are inappropriate... However, since some casinos have "special" section in sports betting (why this is in sports betting anyway?), and allow to place bets on election outcome, or on Oscar winner, or on music event like Eurovision, I would not be much surprised that in 5 or 10 years we would really have such absurd betting options. And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

I still really remember when the war between Russia vs Ukraine happened, there were jokes about bets like this and to be honest making the war a bet was a bad joke, there were a lot of human lives that died, really only wild animals would make the lives of those who died as a joke bet. Currently the war between Israel vs Palestine will happen again because the 4 day ceasefire agreement has passed, there will definitely be more casualties and if there are people who make the war between these two countries a bet then they are lower than animals.

Welp. You underestimate the lengths at which most people would go to receive their 5 minutes of internet fame. and this is no different. No matter how sensitive a topic is, as long as it's going to cause uproar in the internet and they'd get clicks for it they'd do it. Just take American School Shootings for example. This is a massive cultural problem that's caused more deaths than what America knows what to do with, and yet we see this being humored and sometimes even glorified in social media.

What I would suggest people do is just avoid giving these people the time of day. Whether you react in accordance or you show your dismay through commenting or angry-reacting their posts, that would count as an impression to them and at the end of the day, you're just going to feed their inflated sense of ego.

Indeed people are full of surprises lol

[Sandra_hakeem]

This is not the first time bookies have provided a place for betting on war, as far as I know on the Ukrainian and Russian wars there were several bookies that provided bets on who would win or how many casualties would fall on either side. This is disgusting, how could someone have the heart to post a bet like this. What if this happened to them? Don't they have a little heart to grieve? or at least just ignore it if they don't think it's important.
I think the bookies should take action against this, because it's disgusting how these fools bet on something that really shouldn't be bet on.

If this isn't the first time bookies have provided slots to bet on wars, then I think this world entirely is the most atrocious place to live in... honestly. How could several sportmakers use another country's downfall to create winning chances for others?
There's absolutely nothing to say about this since I'm not even a party of any form of gambling; how do people feel when others are suffering??..Does it really make sense to feel very comfortable and make jest of situations like that?

Its fake, so theres no point on telling or making out discussions about this. There would be no bookmakers would really be including this one out and just like the rest been saying that its never been that ethical.
Checking out previous replies as if they do really think that this one is really that real, no legit bookies will really be that making this kind of betting and it would never be.
If this one turns out to be that real then i dont see for it to be that ethical on betting on it, you are making bets on someones lives? Its never been that good in feeling.

Totally funny and it doesnt really make any sense and in the first place, for sure lots of people had checked out and and thought that it was actually for real.

[klidex]

Jokes are made for fun, but I think this one is not funny at all. Reputable casinos do not entertain this kind of bet as it could only offend those countries involved and might trigger for another war. And obviously no one wins in a war, as both countries have put their people in danger.

However, if you do this kind of bet between your friends, this could be possible but I still see it very inappropriate when people bet on war while seeing those countries affected still struggling to survive.

it's possible to place bets on election results, Oscar winners, music show winners, it still makes sense, but if it involves someone's life or betting on war, it's an unnatural and inhumane bet. If we want to get a chance, we can make a profit in other bets, but don't bet on the outcome of winning the war, as fellow human beings, we must have empathy, not just to make a profit from other people's suffering, for example, if you bet on Israel and you win, then you are happy, isn't that no worse than the Israelis who have killed a lot? indirectly supports Israel in this battle, this is really not good and hopefully casinos are not interested in opening betting services like this.

[bluebit25]

People who lack morality are reprehensible, they can use any problem to make money, I see this as an inhumane act.

War bets through gambling are defamatory to human rights laws, but more clearly, the internet space is not always clean because these dirty things pollute life itself and it appears in many different forms.

Regarding betting, I don't know where the limits of the jokes are because I myself once joined FTX to bet on the results of the US presidential election, but in terms of competing for the common good, not For either side, I know that it is also a lack of respect.

[Obari]

Well I insert that the world of gambling is getting ridiculous and extremely wild but meh betting on a war will be very insane and what would be the criteria for judging the war results and who will be officiating a war match that has to do with guns and explosives? I never thought it wrong about betting on elections and other stuffs but betting on war isn’t a nice idea as it seems it’s encouraging killing which I’m sure we actually don’t desire.
I hope the image is actually photoshopped else it’s not a funny one.

Well is all about what people feel is right vs what they do as the right thing,  this is not different from every other aspect of life such as in the war situation,  people fight war and at the same time other people preach peace so the same that some may feels is ok to bet on wars,  while others sees that as a no go area for them, since they gambling just for the fun of it and anything that affects human life,  they try as much as possible to avoid them at all cost.

So for sure, we may just have to ignore whatever these people are trying to promote or whatever money they feel it will bring to them by betting on an absurd thing like war at some point,  best for me to just avoid such since it involves taking humans' life.

[Oasisman]

It was crazy that few people in the 1st page of this post didn't bother to read the whole post as they believe it was a true betting line. One even believed there was a betting line opened during the Russian and Ukrainian war. I mean, man! That's absurd! Who does that? I'm quite certain people in the underground does, but with the bookie? I'm not gonna be surprised the authorities will sue that specific betting platform for being insensitive and inhumane.

The OP was right, there is an appropriate place and time for a joke like this, but it should never gonna be a good joke publicly.

[pinggoki]

I find it inappropriate to offer a betting option on the winner of a war; it's just edited, and the screenshot isn't even clear. Regarding other betting options, such as elections, Oscar winners, or music event winners, I don't see anything wrong with that, as people enjoy betting on various events.

What I believe is that a regulated casino won't joke around on serious matters, especially those that involve the lives of many.

Sure it's inappropriate but I can't see why some betting sites won't do this type of stuff, it's not that crazy of a thing to think that someone will try this anyway. Also, if you allow those other events that aren't really what someone might consider a betting worthy event then war is equally welcome as those other stuff as much as we are disgusted about it if this is a true thing and if we want to do something about it then probably we can just file some sort of complaint to the casino first and then to the regulatory commission that might have a jurisdiction on that betting site. People have been profiting out of the misery of others ever since, I don't think that this is any different from that, either we fight this or we just ignore it, that's the only way in my opinion that we can deal with this issue.

But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

Betting on an event that is causing destruction, pain and death should be discouraged because it is not considered as entertaining. But it could be fun for the warring nations or nationals. It might be fun to bet against an aggressive country because you want them to lose the war. Generally, I think it is a bad idea but like the OP said casinos will always offer services that are popularly demanded.

Joking with or profiting from such a sensitive situation is wrong but business people could do anything to make money. Government authorities will disapprove gambling services on war but it could be allowed due to political affiliation. In 2003 some online gambling firms offered odds on the war between the United States and Iraq. There was also a topic on this that discussed about betting conflict:
Betting on the war.

It sounds like you didn't read the whole context of the OP. It says that the photo he sees on social media is supposed to be a joke, meaning the content of the picture is edited to be meant for a joke or for fun, so it is not real. But I do agree with you. I don't think any casino sites will have the guts to make this kind of bet. We are talking about war, and war is not something that we will make money off of as it will affect other countries and the economy. For the editor of the picture, I do hope he gets the attention he wants, and I hope that he will be punished for what he has created. This can also be alarming, as it may cause more trouble if the country in the photo sees it. This could become a mockery that could lead to a worse situation.

Yes, there may be people who are so crazy as to bet on war. We also don't know who they are and can only see them on the sheet. Yes, it will encourage mass murder and we will see that the impact of the war will become more widespread because the betting on the war can reach the warring parties and they will probably be more enthusiastic about being able to win the war at all costs. This is clearly very dangerous for everyone, not just the warring parties, because there are definitely countries that are not directly involved in the war but will be drawn into the war. @OP has confirmed that it is photoshopped.

SOMEBODY PHOTOSHOPPED THIS. THIS IS NOT A REAL BET.

[EluguHcman]

That is definitely not a good approach involving wars on gambling because it could be clamouring for worsening devastations amongst both and aiding on uncalled challenges whereas, the state of being betted on for would enhance a more energizing non-stop disputing among both.

Indeed everything has really been things of fun and we are expected to tolerate whatever the circumstances may offer.
It should be cleared enough that the authorities are playing adamantly not to realize the nuisances about the levels and tensions that sporadically indicts the masses at the negative congestions simply because they are to gain the profits the actions is generated.

If only they would understand the mental enhancing morales being one of a sports fan could be, the relationships between the players and its fan and considering the social maliciousness amongst the sports of different umbrellas then the authorities would definitely always have its limits of some jokes or fowl plays when it gets to do with the people mental Indulgences.

Absolutely, it is a full lot of errors bring up wars to gambling.
Maybe somedays there would be a war league to be lunched if caution is not taking about the World of today going astray and absurbing.

[Crypt0Gore]

People can be creepy at times, I am sure that these gamblers betting on war are rich people, my grand father once told me that when the rich people have everything life gets boring for them and they look for crazy ways to get entertained, even if its inappropriate.

I can never place bet something that has to do with losing lives, it is so inappropriate and if I have the power I will get such platform closed down, I am not surprised though, there are too many creepy people living in the world today.

I feel pity for those who are caught in this ongoing war, they can't even flee their country into another, everyday people are losing their lives in both country, it is very sad and disheartening.

[Strongkored]

If I'm not mistaken previously there was a casino that provided bets on the pandemic how many would die and so on, the good thing was it was a new gambling site so it didn't get enough attention and now the gambling site has died without leaving a trace and is actually betting on tragedy humanity is unreasonable, and casinos should never provide that even if there is a request, and if there is a casino that does that, it is better to leave the casino or not bet at all because taking advantage of human tragedies such as war is very inhumane.

User Eternad has mentioned Futuur. They can be the one who might actually have that kind of betting option. I was not familiar with Futuur, but after checking it, it really looks that we dont have to wait long until people would make and other would participate in absurd betting. If I understood concept of Futuur platform, anyone can create any prediction and bet on it. I believe they had sort of a monitoring and specific ToS, but with platform like that, war outcome betting isnt much unreal.

That's really a ridiculous bet, how can a human tragedy be made into a bet just to get a win, it's like you are risking human lives for your own interests indirectly. Yes thank goodness if indeed the site has now completely disappeared, honestly I don't know if there are sites that bet on humanity during the pandemic but the main focus is that the betting option is really absurd and I have been very disgraced.

I understand that maybe casinos are smart enough to take advantage of every opportunity in various circumstances, but on the other hand such bets are really absurd, and I hope no more casinos will come up with such ridiculous betting ideas. But on the other hand it is indeed beyond our control, we as ordinary people cannot fully restrict their actions because they have a lot of money to build such casino sites even though it makes no sense, and maybe it comes back to us, as you said it's better not to participate in betting and I'm sure for people who have common sense will not follow such bets.

Things that should not be used as betting material in my opinion are about someone's life and I don't think it's a fun bet even though maybe some people want it, it could be that they have an abnormality in themselves so they need something different from other gambling, I I've also often heard of strange bets like that, but I've never bet on them and there's no reasonable reason for me to bet.

Moreover, why should we bet on something that we think is something that is not worth betting on, honestly I also don't expect casinos to add strange bets like that because it's not a joke that should be used as a new betting material on gambling sites, I don't even think so. would like it, especially other people, who in my opinion also don't like such extreme bets.

I checked the futuur website and discovered that one can gamble with almost everything you can think of in as much as it can be predicted and many people are interested in it. There is even a section for predictions of events in the cryptospace. Talking about predictions of war there are predictions on Russia and Ukraine war titled: Will Russia take Kiev by force by the end of 2022?. I suspect that those who have accounts with futuur can start any prediction on any event and the gambling platform has a Curaçao Gaming license and also has a physical office there. The terms of service will be so loose or free that people would have the opportunity to gamble on events that people might see as forbidden.

However, since some casinos have "special" section in sports betting (why this is in sports betting anyway?), and allow to place bets on election outcome, or on Oscar winner, or on music event like Eurovision, I would not be much surprised that in 5 or 10 years we would really have such absurd betting options. And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

This was a joke but I also think casino will soon start having options to bet on events like this. It's sad but the casino will always give the people what they want and if some gamblers starts requesting for betting on events like this and it doesn't go against any laws, we might start seeing them. On the dark web I think we also have platforms like this that allows individuals to bet on outcome of wars between countries, diseases outbreak and all sort of events.

Gamblers don't care about what they're gambling on, what they're after is the profits they'll make because most individual that gamble don't watch the league they gamble in or are familiar with the sports, they just gamble because they see an opportunity to make money and what to take it and that's why we have many gamblers losing because they don't understand what they're doing but only doing it for the fun or they feel they can win.

[0t3p0t]

If this happens, I think this is a game of rich gamblers or to make it short a leaders game. Fake or not, I don't think gamblers care about anything as long as they can place a bet on something they will surely jump-in just like national elections, animal fights and other inhumane gambling activities. All of it are inappropriate and should be penalized by law.

From joke and rumors to reality the next thing is that it will be taken as a normal event and some who will be proponents will find words to justify the disturbing and irrational betting option like war. Any casino that can boldly create a space for such for gamblers to place bet predictions on it is just an enemy of the remaining peace we are all enjoying In this disturbing world. I hope and pray as a gambler this doesn't take center stage in my time, if it's to be then should be when am long gone. Hallelujah!

[Oilacris]

I understand that this is fake and was made for a joke. But some people dont know what jokes should be ended or are inappropriate... However, since some casinos have "special" section in sports betting (why this is in sports betting anyway?), and allow to place bets on election outcome, or on Oscar winner, or on music event like Eurovision, I would not be much surprised that in 5 or 10 years we would really have such absurd betting options. And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

This was a joke but I also think casino will soon start having options to bet on events like this. It's sad but the casino will always give the people what they want and if some gamblers starts requesting for betting on events like this and it doesn't go against any laws, we might start seeing them. On the dark web I think we also have platforms like this that allows individuals to bet on outcome of wars between countries, diseases outbreak and all sort of events.

Gamblers don't care about what they're gambling on, what they're after is the profits they'll make because most individual that gamble don't watch the league they gamble in or are familiar with the sports, they just gamble because they see an opportunity to make money and what to take it and that's why we have many gamblers losing because they don't understand what they're doing but only doing it for the fun or they feel they can win.

Do you really think that it could be possible? Do you really think that there would really be that demand on that? Do you really think that government would really be that allowing for that kind of betting which is really that correlated or connected to war? I dont think so. Also, just like the rest been saying that its never been that ethical on having one. So if this one had been pushed through, then what would be the betting type or options could be? Like who would be the one will win the war? How many casualties or people who die on the said period? etc. etc...

With those kind of betting lines, then you do really think that people who are in their right minds will really be that loving on making out some bet?
Even with those gambling addicts would really be having doubt on doing so yet there's still humanity on  their hearts and this is something
which isnt really that ethical.

[tygeade]

If I'm not mistaken previously there was a casino that provided bets on the pandemic how many would die and so on, the good thing was it was a new gambling site so it didn't get enough attention and now the gambling site has died without leaving a trace and is actually betting on tragedy humanity is unreasonable, and casinos should never provide that even if there is a request, and if there is a casino that does that, it is better to leave the casino or not bet at all because taking advantage of human tragedies such as war is very inhumane.

That's really a ridiculous bet, how can a human tragedy be made into a bet just to get a win, it's like you are risking human lives for your own interests indirectly. Yes thank goodness if indeed the site has now completely disappeared, honestly I don't know if there are sites that bet on humanity during the pandemic but the main focus is that the betting option is really absurd and I have been very disgraced.

I understand that maybe casinos are smart enough to take advantage of every opportunity in various circumstances, but on the other hand such bets are really absurd, and I hope no more casinos will come up with such ridiculous betting ideas. But on the other hand it is indeed beyond our control, we as ordinary people cannot fully restrict their actions because they have a lot of money to build such casino sites even though it makes no sense, and maybe it comes back to us, as you said it's better not to participate in betting and I'm sure for people who have common sense will not follow such bets.

Even thought it was definitely terrible, it is also real that it did happen. I mean the sadness is true, there are some places that literally has "who will win Ukraine or Russia" bets, and you do not really have clear winning lines neither, like how do you know who won? That is not really a case of winning or lose, it is a different situation.

This is why it is quite important to realize that you are not going to end up with morality or ethics when you are talking about neither casinos nor gamblers who bet on these. You should just simply consider it a bit different and it could be something that will be acceptable in the sense that we just have to accept that these people and these type of situations do exists.

I don't bet and will discourage people from betting between two countries about war, it's very insensitive, and war is something you don't include betting on because human lives are at stake here, and I don't think any casinos will include this bet, they could lose their license and they will receive massive criticism for being insensitive, they can think of any outrageous kind of bets but never bets about lives especially on war where the victims are innocent children and elders

[btc_angela]

Betting on war? How can bookies be providing service for their customers to be betting on war. Betting on who to win election, who to be the next miss world and something entertaining is better, but betting on war is just not appropriate and not entertaining at all. But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

It's photoshop, but even in the future, I don't think that sports bookies are going to list this kind of bets in their platform because they know that whole gaming industry will come after them. And for the photoshop, yeah, maybe it was just a joke or something, but it's up to the person who's going to read it, for sure there will be a lot of us here going to be hurt with this kind of jokes.

Or maybe some who will just take it as it is because they know that this is fake and we should take it seriously.

[bakasabo]

After observing how many here did not understand that this was just another cruel internet joke, it makes easy to understand why people are so easy to be manipulated. It also shows how greedy and barbaric people are. They find it normal to earn on peoples tragedies, and they are ready to use any method do earn. War betting was just an example. People could use less absurd, yet still inappropriate betting variants. Like placing bet if there will be storm this winter, that will destroys houses. Tragedy for someone, profit for other.

Moral aspects must be taken into account, bets on any events that involve human deaths should be prohibited and punishable by law. Each casino has a huge variety of events for every taste and I don’t see the point in adding wars, pandemics, or anything else of that kind. It is clear that the post on Instagram was a photoshop, but nothing happens for nothing, human stupidity knows no bounds and I am sure that if the bookmaker added the same event to the line, then there would be those who would make bets on these event.

[aioc]

SOMEBODY PHOTOSHOPPED THIS. THIS IS NOT A REAL BET.

Of course, it will be impossible for a casino to create a bet about a war between Hamas and Israel, even though casinos are profit-oriented there's no way they are going to monetize wars, they are going to lose support they are going to lose their license that could spell the end of their existence.

Casinos cannot be involved with killings and exploitation, what we are seeing now in the war between Israel and Hamas is just full of atrocities and inhumane we have seen children and innocent civilians under the crumbles of buildings and we cannot just stomach these scenarios, much more creating betting on this.

Can you see it happening? The thought of betting on war is not only disgusting, its also morally wrong. Even the idea itself raises moral and human questions. Bets on how the war will end? Any deaths? There is no doubt that it is a dark road. Still, lets not be naive; morals are different in different parts of the world. The picture could be fake or edited, but its not impossible that this kind of illegal betting does exist and is popular with a small group of ethically ambiguous super-rich people.

Some people have moral limits that are both fuzzy and open to change. Everything in their world costs something, even pain. That thought is scary, isnt it? Some people who are addicted to gambling might not want to make such bets. What about people who see war as nothing more than a way to make money and have no morals? The bad parts of people cant be ignored. In plain sight, they are always there, hidden.

Edit:
As people did not bother real whole post, I will make it more visible

SOMEBODY PHOTOSHOPPED THIS. THIS IS NOT A REAL BET.

the real problem with the "internet" is that now anyone can express an opinion.
I'm sure that somewhere, unintelligent people find this thing even funny without realizing the drama they are joking about.

In this case I feel sorry for the betting company that finds itself associated with such a violent&sad message.

[Rockstarguy]

I find it inappropriate to offer a betting option on the winner of a war; it's just edited, and the screenshot isn't even clear. Regarding other betting options, such as elections, Oscar winners, or music event winners, I don't see anything wrong with that, as people enjoy betting on various events.

What I believe is that a regulated casino won't joke around on serious matters, especially those that involve the lives of many.

I don't think this is appropriate to do, it is not everything that must involve gambling.  War is not a game,  it is a critical event when people are really hurt and going through difficult time irrespective of the country that is leading in the war. I think casino starts playing bet on war it can make the fight to be even worse because people from the countries where the war is taking place may just want to join the fight just to make profit from their bets, I don't think war should be something anybody will be involve of, war should be a situation that people should pray for peace to put a stop to it.

War will only bring suffering to many people and can spread to other countries. There will definitely be many casualties and it is not appropriate to bet on war. In fact, we should all support the war to stop immediately so that there are no more victims on both sides. If casinos make bets like that, it's not a good idea because it could hurt the hearts of people from both conflicting countries even though they don't know anything about the causes of the war. It would be better for casinos to place bets on other things and not bets on war and casinos should not get involved in war affairs by making such bets.

And its not good idea to have since it will just promote violence since its like supporting a war that's why gambling sites should not ever think to add this betting option since its inhumane. There's so many options to bet and I don't think a casino will get a support for doing this. Also if they add that for sure they will be bash or get a negative comments coming from various group of people and accuse that they just want to create money from war while other people is suffering. Also there's no dumb casino owners will add that since this is really bad for their business knowing many will always take sympathy on the victims of those wars. People should really pray for peace and don't think about placing a bet in favor on one country and want to destroy their opponent so that they could win since its really bad to take.

[Gozie51]

It is really absurd to see the length at which people could go because of business and making money. To me, it is a wrong trajectory and to be condemned. The significant of such if allowed is that people concerned or people that are influential to stop the war might not work towards that anymore.

We already know that those countries that dwell in arm production, it is a business time for them when countries go into war, now adding war option in betting will even make seize fire difficult because influential people are interested to gamble how many people will die in a day, weeks or months or from which side such death will occur or which side is stronger than the other.

This is not a good betting option for the sake of humanity, I thought the believe that betting is for entertainment is still flying, war is only entertainment when you watch the friction part of it from your TV or smartphone. Hope we are not going to hear winter death in Canada, Russia etc in betting option as well.

[Kelvinid]

If this happens, I think this is a game of rich gamblers or to make it short a leaders game. Fake or not, I don't think gamblers care about anything as long as they can place a bet on something they will surely jump-in just like national elections, animal fights and other inhumane gambling activities. All of it are inappropriate and should be penalized by law.

Then from now on, they should know how to take care of their bets otherwise, they are making gambling nonsense.
We don't need to wait for the government to take action against these unusual betting behaviors. We have to show respect and become a professional gambler. Because we know that it was not appropriate in the first place but why do we have to continue betting? It was just like fooling ourselves and claiming innocence even though we know about it.

[danherbias07]

People can be creepy at times, I am sure that these gamblers betting on war are rich people, my grand father once told me that when the rich people have everything life gets boring for them and they look for crazy ways to get entertained, even if its inappropriate.

I can never place bet something that has to do with losing lives, it is so inappropriate and if I have the power I will get such platform closed down, I am not surprised though, there are too many creepy people living in the world today.

I feel pity for those who are caught in this ongoing war, they can't even flee their country into another, everyday people are losing their lives in both country, it is very sad and disheartening.

So true. Possibly, they are rich people who have nothing good to do. What kind of normal human being would think about making a bet about war?
I have not experienced any war in my life but just looking at photos and videos of those who are experiencing it makes me feel sad about it. I mean just simple fireworks can already make me stand in my seat, what more if those are real bombs dropping near your place?  
It would not even cross my mind to make it like an entertaining thing like betting on who will win because I know for myself that there are really no winners in war. Both countries or parties are just wasting resources and killing the innocent in the process. Then, there's the economy falling for both countries too and the only people affected by it are those who are in the lower section of lifestyle. They will be the ones working their ass to survive that tragedy.
This should not even be a joke because it's not funny, it's more sad to think there will be people who could even think about this.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Individuals who set bet for war are those who never think about others but are in rush to earn more and more money. They don't realize that money is not everything as we can live without money but we cannot live without peacefulness. During war everyone is in stress as war have negative impacts on every country all around the world. import and export system become disturbed due to which there are big loss for every country.

We should not involve in any activity during war situations that will hurt others because everyone is suffering from different types of issues so we should try to reduces other's worries instead of setting bet that which country will win the war. War is not for gambling therefore do everything for county's security and peacefulness what you can do.

[Gozie51]

Betting on who to win election, who to be the next miss world and something entertaining is better, but betting on war is just not appropriate and not entertaining at all. But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

First of, hope you do actually realize that the image was just Photoshoped and not actually real. And yeah it would be the most ridiculous thing of bookies and casinos were to make available options for player to bet on war, lol, I have never heard of anything like this and it sound kinda funny that someone's mind could even conceive such an idea. Indeed people are full of surprises lol

Imagination of the mind can go beyond the expected and that is what is happening in the world of business that many want to be smarter . The idea of war as betting option is ridiculous whether it was photoshopped or reality. To conceive the idea of other games will be appreciated but to use the current war as betting is not kind to humanity. We can have animated wars  but not real and ongoing wars.

[Outhue]

With the risks that comes with gambling is why people must first learn to gamble responsibly, lives are getting destroyed because of irresponsible gambling and some are completely addicted with no fix solution to make them get out of their addiction, a brother in my family got addicted and it was a tough battle for his to escape that reality, it got to a point where his parent almost disowned him, I am happy he got over it and now he learned his lesson.

Accept gambling for what it is, it's a quick way of making money and any quick way of making money even outside of gambling comes with huge risks, there is high probability that you will throw your money away, that's why you need to be prepared, don't be too greedy when gambling, risk only what you can afford to Lose.

Gambling isn't something you should be spending all your time and energy on, find something useful for yourself and others, a man of skills will never go broke as his level of skills will be needed and so money will follow, we can't say the same with gambling, all gamblers are in the dark, crawling on the ground trying to find their way out.

[jaberwock]

If I'm not mistaken previously there was a casino that provided bets on the pandemic how many would die and so on, the good thing was it was a new gambling site so it didn't get enough attention and now the gambling site has died without leaving a trace and is actually betting on tragedy humanity is unreasonable, and casinos should never provide that even if there is a request, and if there is a casino that does that, it is better to leave the casino or not bet at all because taking advantage of human tragedies such as war is very inhumane.

Damn really? But, indeed that was brutal already, even though their only intention is to make money and nothing else. During the Covid, there is also crypto coin projects which are like that. And it was also being talked about here in the forum. People should boycott that, even if it's only like a meme coin and them (investors) can also benefit on it once it pump.

There are still lots of ways to make money without the need of stepping down other people. And we can feel better about them. Anyway about the casino you're talking about earlier. I hope that wasn't futurr or futtr. Sorry I forgot its name, but they are also offering unusual bets and many people love them for this.

[Zoomic]

There are still lots of ways to make money without the need of stepping down other people. And we can feel better about them.

Gamblers who mean business will gambler on anything at all, war and pandemics inclusive. They keep their emotions aside and are not concerned about the possible implications of their bets or what pain the next person is facing. Casinos too will jump on any trend and give their customers variety of options to gamble on. To them, it is for the money or fun and no strings attached.

This is so inhumane and ridiculous.  One can actually make money and have fun without necessarily gambling on sensitive global issues like war. No one likes war, why make money and get entertainment from other people's predicament, especially in a period where the world is craving for peace? I do no know how casinos and other gambling platforms are being regulated but sensitive issues need to be off their list of gambling options.

[piebeyb]

We should not involve in any activity during war situations that will hurt others because everyone is suffering from different types of issues so we should try to reduces other's worries instead of setting bet that which country will win the war. War is not for gambling therefore do everything for county's security and peacefulness what you can do.

Therefore the OP explained again that it was just a joke, not a real bet, the bet was just an illustration of how people responded in this thread, were they crazy enough for bets like that? It seems that many people don't like bets like that. because no one wants war, let alone the many victims who fall while we gamble on the suffering of the victims. it looked so inhuman that it even surpassed that of a demon.

I'm sure not many people will want to be involved in betting on war bets because in my opinion it is better to give the money to help war victims than to bet on the war that is taking place. The point is that there are still many bets that are more humane and reasonable to bet on, for example sports betting and betting. other.

[uneng]

Even though that picture is fake and sportsbooks don't offer this possibility of bet officially, it would be naivety to think it's not happening on the deep-web and minor circles of gamblers. People bet on everything, so why wouldn't them bet on war results? It involves a mix of gambling, war and butchery interests. There are people who are fully into these matters in a daily basis, and know every details about military troops, strategies, weapons, vehicles, military technology, added to a fascination for carnage, where they might see an opportunity to show their colleagues, who also enjoy the same "hobbies", how smart they are on their predictions by gambling and profiting from the results. We can conclude it's a clear sign humans are losing their humanity.

[Marvelman]

I get that gambling sites wanna make bank, but making bets on stuff like war and pandemics just ain't right.  Real people are going through hell with lost lives and homes and families.  The last thing they need is strangers placing wagers on their pain.  It's mad insensitive and straight up profiting off suffering and   

now I know these platforms gotta get their paper and keep the lights on.  But there's lines you dont cross. Cashing in on folks' tears is way past the line.  They gotta think more about how it impacts people and say nah to taking bets on messed up situations.

[Saint-loup]

It's an obvious fake impersonating the UI of Stake but some decentralized prediction markets like Augur or Fairlay are well known for offering unethical bets on some events. During the covid19 pandemic for example, some of those platforms along with some sportsbooks offered bets on the death toll of the pandemic. It led to a passionate debate here on the opportunity of this kind of bet and their consequences for bettors.
