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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

SOMEBODY PHOTOSHOPPED THIS. THIS IS NOT A REAL BET.

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.

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

[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.
You Can Bet on It: Playing the Odds on 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.
