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 get 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 sees that they can make money from the war they will get on it and take their money, but truth be told that it's selfishness and not smartness.
Very unethical but we do know that not all people would be having on the same insight about it because they wont be caring about peoples lives as long they can make bets and make money then they would be betting and wouldnt be caring about other peoples condition in other side of the world. There are just that those kind of bets that its not being ethical for you to bet on but for those bookies and since they are running a business on which they would be offering it out as long they've seen that there's a demand or recognition into it on which they will be diving it out since its money and in todays world on which money is almost everything and it doesnt goes beyond with those aspect whether its ethical or non-ethical as long they can be able to obtain that kind of advantage or benefits then they would definitely be doing it. For me then I would definitely be having that hard pass when it comes into this aspect but it would be just that depending on you on how you would be choosing up things accordingly.
