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?
This has been my stand all along ever since this whole thing about betting on live events began with the war between Russia and Ukraine, I've been against this because it's completely inhuman, I can't imagine a situation where a war is going one between two countries and innocent men and women including children are being killed, some children are starving to death, and instead of me being sober for this lives, what I did be after is betting on who will win the war or how many people any this countries are going to report that are dead, it's insane and sickening.

Can't believe humans have gotten so degraded to the extent that we no longer care about each other, people are dying and others are busy betting on it, it's unethical.
