Are bet for Paralympics available on bookies?

I watched some matches in Olympics but I did not bet on any one or any team. Even I did not bet on their football because it is very unpredictable.

I prefer to bet on football club matches instead.

I'm unaware if there are any bets that bookies will allow us to take on paralympics.
I checked on stake.com and couldn't find anything. If the biggest crypto bookie site doesn't feature markets on these events then I guess it's going to be rare to find any.

Paralmpics get little viewerships and lack of interest makes markets very unpredictable because also very few people know how to set the odds for such an event, and the athletes themselves don't get much press either. So the interest would have to pick up first, somehow maybe each country could advertise its paralympic mission more and therefore a peak in interest would likely justify it for bookies to maybe become sponsors and start hosting some of these markets.

OP, what do you mean by "is it ok if we talk about Paralympics" ? Of course it is ok to talk, watch and support them. They are the same people, but instead they put even more effort during their trainings and try to perform even better than regular athletes.

Yesterday I have watched opening ceremony. Huge respect to all athletes. In fact, I liked ceremony more than regular Olympic games opening ceremony. Sadly, I can follow the results mostly online, as local TV network does not show Paralympic games, but only show final achievements during evening news.

Even if they are available, I will hardly come up with odds on games to bet on, first because they are not our regular athlete's we can easily predict their performance on the games they are involved in,  except for the paralympics I hardly see any other games that involves people with disabilities perform so well. I will rather just sit and enjoy the games and the beauty of watching the incredibly things they do.
If for any reasons I will make any bet, is at the middle of the events when I've seen the strength and abilities of athletes on what they can do, then I can easily make predictions, that's if there are available bookies.

this is part of the reason why most of them feel like they're being marginalized. With representative that's almost more than those that were at the main Olympics, the intersest in the event is very minor.

Thier sports is not always pronounced and unlike in the Olympics when we have regular faces and teams you can make you bet on, it's going to be tough for bookmakers to assign the right odds to some of the events since both the athletes and teams are not popular. I've watched some of the clips of the previous Paralympics running competition and yesterday was officially the first time I had to see them run live.

Sadly, I can follow the results mostly online, as local TV network does not show Paralympic games, but only show final achievements during evening news.

I was able to watch part of the event yesterday evening when they had I think a 400m race for the and an 100m race for the female. If I'm not wrong supper sports has a dedicated channel they have opened to show what's going on at the Paralympics.

I don't think there's an issue talking about the Paralympics. It's a sport so why not.
The problem is, we are in the gambling discussion but there are no available lines to bet for it. So, it's either this thread will be put off-topic or somewhere else because of the unavailability of gambling.

It's actually entertaining to watch them play and I actually did bump into one game in the Olympics where I found myself finishing the race before I switched to another channel.
Well, I do hope they will add some lines before it begins later but if not then I doubt there will be one in the next ones.

Why not, it's an event and a competition, people go there to compete so they don't feel marginalized, and ignoring the subject only makes it worse for them, we're not talking about beggars on the street, it's people who work all day long to prove something.

As for betting, there aren't requests for those, but the games lack an audience unfortunately for them and then there is this feeling some have that you shouldn't bet on people with disabilities, calling it a medieval behavior, there are even influencers who call such bettors some really bad names, in the not only you have small viewership but also betting is frowned upon, so bookies tend to avoid the headaches altogether.
Here is an older article on the subject:
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-37256061

Or to put it another way, betting on the 11 days of the Paralympic Games will generate the same as one midweek horse race, according to industry estimates.

I believe to be the only sports where cheating does not happen as these athletes do not care much about gambling companies and the bets are equally correct here, much different than in any other sports. That is why I don't think there is anything wrong to talk about such athletes and celebrate their way of life that despite having some kind of disability they go and compete against each other, this shows the true spirit of competition as it should be in any sport and not impacted by corruption, as let's say the truth sports does only promote diversion, no racism and equality only in theory, in practice in there a lot of corruption happens. People can still be bought and that is why in our days you can find a lot of jobs and work to do yet we have lost humanity, I find it hard to see some humanity almost everywhere in the world.

I just heard about paralympic sports, is it the same as the Olympics in Paris?

In fact, I think it's so unfamiliar that bookies very rarely offer the option to bet (correct me if I'm wrong) but that's what I know, the Paralympics, not everyone knows what sports are in this tournament?

Or if someone already knows there are gambling sites about this bet I just want to see what odds the bookies offer.

it's a special games that's organized for the physically challenged so they don't feel left out of the global sports. The events at the Paralympics is almost like the events at the Olympics, the only difference is that it's mostly sports that are peculiar to thier abilities that are featured at the Paralympics. They just completed table tennis games where great Britain won against Nigeria. Other sports like table tennis, badminton, track cycling and even swimming get featured at the Paralympics.

Once odds are available for a particular event, it becomes like any other sport and still unpredictable. I haven't bet on this kind of event nor watched it, so I don't really know if sportsbooks offer such odds. But if they do, I'm sure it's not a popular market, and the betting limits will likely be low or available on only a limited number of sportsbooks.

About the quetion in the OP, yes it's alright to talk about it if we can bet on it.

Are you talking about the Olympics in general, which many people know is a competition played by athletes with disabilities, if yes, of course the Paralympics is one of the sports that I often watch.

I'm interested in watching the tournament, because there are many games that are competed in the Paralympics, such as archery, biathlon, cycling and many other types of sports games that are competed in, I like that they do it with cool modifications.

What is certain is that it is a type of international-based sports competition and is popular with many sports fans, but I don't know whether any such competition is implemented on crypto gambling sites, but I have never bet and found the Paralympics on a gambling site, but if it exists I think it is an extraordinary and good thing to bet on.

These games aren't popular with the crypto gambling site because I couldn't find them in a particular site where I do bet, and I will agree to second poster who that this topic can be moved to off-topic since it's not mostly talked about neither did people constantly bet on them rather than football tennis and other few sports that is regularly featured on the cryptocurrency gambling site.

There should be. Google search will bring out the relevant results.

I watched some matches in Olympics but I did not bet on any one or any team. Even I did not bet on their football because it is very unpredictable.

I am never going to bet on on any Olympics football game. To me they look like there's no difference between them and off season matches. Very uninteresting.
 

I prefer to bet on football club matches instead.

Yes. Club football matches are more adrenaline pumping and exciting. Everyone can literally feel it .

On my DSTV channel I see that the channel to show the Paralympics has started airing. The Paralympics can be as interesting as the Olympics itself was. Do not have the opinion of the competition that because it is featuring Paralympians that it will be less competitive. I do not have a particular Paralympian that I support, or any of them that I know, so I may just watch for the purpose of entertainment, and not to bet on it. The premier league is where I am actively betting right now, it is okay for me.

I have not seen a casino that have them listed and even if they do, I doubt there are many people that will be interested in betting on them. I hardly watch them too which may be the reason I have little to no interest in betting them. Now that you drew my attention to the tournament, I will try checking them out to see how interesting they will be. One thing I notice in such competition is that they usually have big odds. So, any event one can master and know how to predict accurately, that will be a major hit for the person. Of course they are usually easy to predict which is another advantage.

[retreat]

Actually it's okay to talk about the Paralympics, there's nothing wrong with it, in fact they really appreciate it if there are people who want to watch, discuss or other things related to their activities. There's no need to think whether it's rude or inappropriate for us to discuss them, because they don't need our pity - in fact they are much greater than the majority of us, because with their limitations they can still make achievements and even compete at the international level.

Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games


The Paralympic Games is an important sporting competition that should be discussed. This event didn't get much attention like the main Olympics but it is worth discussing. My country didn't win any medals in the main Olympics but we usually win during the Paralympic games. I see it as a game to give people who are physically challenged a sense of belonging which is important. Some online sports betting platforms will be active in these games. But they might not be taking many bets because it might not be a big event for them.

If the Paralympic Games were more popular than the Olympic Games, bookmakers would probably add the opportunity to bet on these events. But the established traditional trend looks the opposite.

I watched some matches in Olympics but I did not bet on any one or any team.

What is the reason for this? Why are the Olympics not suitable for you as sports events with betting opportunities?

You haven't made a single bet on the Olympics, but you are asking about the possibility of betting on the less popular Paralympic Games?

Even I did not bet on their football because it is very unpredictable.

But this unpredictability can be used to your advantage. If you're lucky, a bet on a team with low chances of winning but high odds can bring in a pretty penny (if the bet wins).

I prefer to bet on football club matches instead.

How is traditional football less unpredictable? In my opinion, the differences are insignificant.
