There seems to be no problem betting on paralympic sports, because that way at least the sport can be famous, because to be honest there are still many people with disabilities who experience a decrease in their confidence to be able to excel, because when many people bet on the sport, of course at least the sport will be the talk of people many.
What I think is unethical is when sports organizers and bookies cheat on the results obtained by the sports participants.
Topic: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? - page 4. (Read 1164 times)
We will soon see the start of the Paralympic Games.... ( 24 Aug 2021 to 5 Sept 2021 ) ...so I was thinking if it was ethical to bet on these events? Will it be disrespectful towards people with disabilities or will they want to be handled in the same manner that any other athlete wants to be handled?
I spoke to a few disabled people at work and they have no problem if their athletes get the same attention as any other athlete that competes in the Olympic Games.
They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way...
So what do you guys and gals think..... ?

First of all, I do think that we cannot speak for anyone. They might all share their own personal opinion and that is what matters at the end of the day, therefore it would be wise to not make any assumptions.
I do think that everyone should be treated the same but at the same time in the borders of respect for what they are doing, what they are going through and how they are handling it.
In my opinion they deserve the same chances and the same idealistic principals because they made it to Olympics which is already a big deal and they are capable enough, maybe even more. It's takes a lot of courage and strength to steer through difficult situations.
All of that in my opinion depends on each person's opinion, and of course there will be pros and cons to betting on disability sports, some people may believe that those who bet on the paralympic think they don't respect people who have disabilities and they shouldn't be made a bet , but some may feel that all sports can be bet so they don't care about anything else.
so Ethical or not in my opinion is the perception of each of us in terms of which we will judge it.

I think there is nothing unethical about this. In my opinion, it is unethical to evaluate people with disabilities differently than ordinary people. Obviously, a Paralympic athlete cannot break the record of a regular 100m runner, but he can compete perfectly in his category and we can bet on that.

Those participating in this Paralympic do not even think of the word disabilities or they are less equal to real athletes, if we think it's unethical we disrespect them because we think they are less superior to Olympic athletes that we put our bets on, so we should bet on them and let them know that we support them and we treat them equally like normal average athletes.
Honestly why would anyone do that, seriously. If you know the odds between multiple people and follow the paralytic odds you need to find something else to do. Enjoy the games for what they are, no need to bet on them cmon.
Does this logic extend to other games, including the Olympics itself?
If people want to bet on the Paralympics then I don't see anything wrong with that. After all, it should be treated as equal to any other competition - side bets aren't going to hurt anyone and will only bring more attention to the athletes.
Personally don't see anything wrong with giving the Paralympics some well deserved attention.
That's right. It all depends on how you look at things here. They are like any other sports out there. We bet, they play, no harm done. Unless, you are making fun of them, that's a different discussion. So for me, there's nothing unethical to bet on their games. I guess, they will like it also because they feel important if someone is betting on them to win the game.
I agree, if we want equality and integration we must treat these games like the rest. If you can bet on some, you should be able to bet on others without causing any problems. Not betting because they are Paralympic games would be discriminating them.
If you are simply finding alternative ways to gamble, then treating this game just the same with other available games is okay.
Not to discriminate, but to take that chance to pick your winning athletes. Bookies add this sport from the list as they knew that there are,
People/gamblers who also siding their eyes to each individual who is known for this sport. If you don't want to feel any quilt, just deal with this game as the same with any sports that being catered by sport bookies.

Actually they don't demand that respect, but it's all up to us to treat a person in well mannered ways in order to also boost their confidence as well as betting on their paralympic games.
This makes sense. These people don't really demand respect because to themselves, they are normal people, just any other people but just with a handicap. Participating in Paralympics will give them a chance that they can also do whatever a normal person does.
And on a side note, they are surely placing money to bet on this event.
It depends on your perspective; for me, there's nothing wrong with betting on paralympic games because it's still a sport, and even if people didn't gamble, they'd still determine who would win and compare themselves. I don't think it's disrespectful since they're doing it for the love of the sport or for the money, and we can wager on these games as well. Treat them like regular people, and you'll have no problems since we're all the same; our differences are merely handicaps. They can succeed in what they're doing, just as we can.

We should be respecting then as normal person that participates in an Olympic games with honor. In fact they're showing an heroic performance as they've represent then pride of their respective countries.

They just want to be treated the same way you treat other athletes, that is why they see no problem in betting on paralympic games. Even though they have disabilities, it's still a competition, so gambling on those games is valid. However, I think the main issue which prevent gambling from being more active in paralympic games is that there isn't much demand for these games from the public side. The popularity of those games could be compared to women soccer, for an example. They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way... So what do you guys and gals think..... ?
This is why I was thinking why ethics comes into discussion here? This is like any other sport where we bet who we want to win. So for me, betting on these games is just the same as betting in olympics. And it is also good for their audience, it means people are also interested to watch their games. But wondering if this event can attract the interest of crypto bookies also?

We already know what they did so I respect their opinion if they want it that way why would I not respect them, we can bet on these athletes because they train to excel and if my betting means we are supporting then I don't see anything wrong why we should not, they are also athletes and they also win medals and their respective government is supporting them.

This is just fine there's no need to worry if it's ethical or not as long as they gained attention to the world then they are doing just fine. We are not talking about how unfair it was for them but how they would do it in order to win. The moral of the story is they were happy because they were able to participate in an international games such as Olympics despite of their imbalance.
If more gamblers would bet on this then the society is helping them to perform well with what they desired because most athletes love their game despite of the risk it brings.

Wouldn't it be less ethical if we discriminated against them and treated them as different?
Betting in itself has nothing wrong. You're not affecting the athletes in any way, you're not affecting the results of the outcome.
If anything, you're bringing more sponsorship money to these athletes - as a rule of thumb, the bigger the gambling market in a particular event, the more sponsors are willing to pay for deals with athletes. But all in all, there is no harm done - it's just like betting on the Olympics.
It doesn't have any effect if the casino doesn't instruct the players with a few percentages as a form of sponsorship.
I agree that players with disabilities get more support in the form of sponsorship from several casino, but so far, it is still very difficult how casinos care about all that, they are only setting up gambling for the casino's profit.
doing some charitable works but this one if we do talk about some form of sponsorship then i do highly doubt on that one.They would always care for profits and wont be tending to do so anytime soon.
For gamblers then its their choice if they would make out bets on paralympics but honestly i dont see any problems on this one.
