When the Pope was being decided in the conclave, people were betting on it. When there was hurricane or typhoons, people would also bet on the casualties. Have you seen people bet on about the war between Iran and Israel and now USA too?

If yes, do you think it is morally or ethically correct? For me, no. There are real people's lives at stake here. I think it is so tone deaf for people to bet on their lives. What do you think?

Watching the war on TV or through other channels brings so much pain. Seeing families cry over dead or wounded relatives is a sight that can be heartbreaking.  

I would never bet on any conflict or war, regardless of how profitable it might seem. I am also not a fan of betting on religious activities because it might be offensive to believers. I am a sports bettor, but I also don't bet on violent sports. Gambling should be for entertainment and not to derive pleasure from people's pain.
Betting on the war is unethical because lives, properties are at stake. I actually believe that victims of the current war will actually feel heartbroken when they realize that people are betting on their current status. However, no one involved in the war will ever getbet on it, it will be those who's in a peaceful region that will bet on the war. Although, there are people who can do anything to get the money. If they seesknow that they can make money from the war they will getbet on it and take their money, but truth be told that it's selfishness and not smartnessethical to bet on anything that involves life and death.
