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?

Sometimes it's so annoying on how people tend to bet on things mostly things that are not meant to be betted on, it shows the high level of gambling by citizens and individuals and this shows that people love to gamble and they can go extra miles to keep it on. Sometime ago i saw a news about people betting on a fight, but in the aspect of war it's so inhumane and not advisable to do so except your encouraging the wat between the two allies, so no it's not ethical.

Really crazy for the fact that we see that lots of civilians are been affected on the war and here they are doing their selfish act then try to bet on misfortune happening on normal people on both compromised countries.

Sad that they don't show any sympathy to people especially for children and I feel sad on them especially for what they are experiencing now. That's why I don't place any bet on it and just choose other option since there are so many ways to gamble without hitting those critical situation.
