So what do you guys and gals think..... ?
I think when we bet on the paralympic games we actually appreciate them, because I believe bettors when they start betting on these games do carelessly, but bettors do a search first about the games they will choose. as well as finding out about athletes who are favorites and it is not impossible for bettors to also watch the match and it was done because the match was interesting to watch, maybe in the future Paralympic games will become a common thing to broadcast and watched.

Paralympians are still humans you know, and it is even the thought or idea that it is unethical to gamble or place a bet on them is in itself unethical because that is demeaning and a bias based on their disabilities.

Paralympians should be treated with the same respect as other athletes without disabilities, and as such, it is okay and ethical to bet on the Paralympics, so the paralympians Don't feel less of themselves.

Of course it is ethical, it also has more value because they are people who have never given up, who despite their weakness based on their abilities play sports and produce emotions and a lot of admiration.

For my part, if I support betting on the Paralympic games, in fact for me the USA is still a power in all these sports, in fact it is very possible that the platforms of casinos and sports betting houses should open bets.
In addition there are athletes who have an incredible preparation, in fact their workouts are usually much harder than normal because they have to compensate for greater forces and abilities.

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?  

if you will check their Autobiography mate, most of them are fighting and struggling just to prove their capacity to be like normal , they are not normal physically or mentally but at least they can prove being humans,

so betting towards their games can make them more prouder .

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.  Wink  They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way...

So what do you guys and gals think..... ?
I have a First cousin that is competitive though he has only one Arm , yet he is playing cycling so like your workmate they care nothing but wanted to be a normal living human.

Before asking about the ethicality of "betting on the Paralympic Games," you should ask "is Paralympic ethical?" or even "is it a good idea?"
If the answer is yes, then it's okay to bet on it.

They want to be competitive and receive no discrimination, thus we give them what they asked. Not betting on them will be a form of discrimination, lul.

Personally, I think the fact that we question whether it is ethical to bet on paralympians or not implies that there is a discrimination towards these PWDs. The ultimate goal here is to see them as equals but considering their disabilities for additional compensation and help.

That is why, I do not see any reason on why there should be a question on why betting them would be ethical or not, though I do understand the reason on bringing this topic up. Regardless, let us continue cheering on them and wishing them the best of luck in their respective games. In addition, let's also continue betting on platforms that are valid!

All of us voted it's not unethical, their respective country is rooted and betting on them so I don't see anything unethical on my point of view, the Paralympic was set up so handicapped people can excel in their field of endeavors in sports, I don't betting on my favorite I know they deserve my bet because they trained for their sports.

There is nothing unethical about it. It has nothing to do with their disabilities anyway. So I agree with them. They are into sports which fit them best and they are in a competition.

It is not unethical to root for a certain team or player in that league. And sometimes being a fan or supporting a team or player goes beyond just cheering and praying for their victory. To a gambler, it also means putting money where his/her mouth is.

Treat them the same as you treat normal guys. That's what they want. No special treatments.
Betting on them? That's on you and me. It's our money that we will lose and not theirs.
Ethical? I think most people have forgotten that word now. Mostly, they will just do what they want and tell it is their own life, money, and freedom.
Who would even care about ethics nowadays? Perhaps our old men are the only ones left who care about it.

I don't see anything wrong with it, they are playing sports and they want to excel on it, so I don't see anything ethical on it, betting is a form of support, if we are betting on them we are supporting their cause and their efforts to excel and win their respective matches, I don't see anything wrong on it, we have to treat them just like how we treat other normal athletes.

I wouldn't say it's unethical, but rather I'd say it's supporting the league and the athletes as well. They strive to get better themselves and to get even better at their craft, and us spectators can only watch in awe and amazement every time they accomplish numerous feats that even us able-bodied individuals cannot do.

It's not mocking the paralympic athletes when we bet on their events IMO. We believe in their capabilities that we risk money in order to support them.

How could it be disrespectful if you do make out bets of those disabled person?We rather see or appreciate on what they've been doing just like a normal athlete could do.
They wouldnt really care if you do make out bets out of their plays or not because the thing that they do have in mind is to win up the competition against other nation.
As a gambler then its up to you if you would really able to have good feeling on betting with those disabled person or not but generally i dont really see any problems
with this and as said that this is just personal preference.

I'd have to agree with your colleagues. It would likely be more unethical to treat them different based on the fact that they compete in the Paralympic Games. It would likely be unethical to bet against them if they were competing in the Olympics main (for a lack of a better word) events, and I do by no means want to make that sound like I'm being degrading on the Paralympic Games, like its not a main event, I just can't think of another word to use.

How it ends up with the idea that it's disrespectful for the disabled person? Can you elaborate on that?

Didn't you know that some of them really want to feel the experience of involving in sports which in reality, they can't even do. They have skills that they want to show to the community. The event is their best chance to do it and the only time they can make it.

These individuals are trained and the event is running for a long now without a massive critics globally.
As far as I'm concerned, they are some of the most mentally strong, and committed athletes in the world. I'm not one for the Olympics in general, but you've got to respect anyone that's in a disadvantaged (again for a lack of a better word) situation, being able to break through that, and perform to a excellent level, is definitely respectable.

You have to see their talent and you’ll realize how good they are compare to other normal people.
This can only be unethical with the way you see them, but for me they are normal people and you can actually bet to them as long as you see the sportsbook offering this games, there should be no problem to that.

I see it in a different way that it will let other people know that an event like this exists. and we also indirectly support them. as long as there is no insulting treatment I think it's still okay. Support for athletes can be in various ways and betting on this like treating them equally as professional and competitive athletes.

If this is unethical, what more on the bets for Boxing and other fighting matches who are trying to destroy the opponent, that could be more unethical. Well, we all have different views about this one and if you think betting on Paralympic games will affect your emotion, better not to place your bet and just watch them fighting and proving that they are capable to play the game as well.

my take on this = why would it be unethical to bet on this event? treat it as the same with any other sports. they want also to receive the same treatment like a regular athlete. only people are giving other meanings of what you are doing even if you have no other intentions but you just want to bet. truly, people have their differences on their outlook in life. we all just need is respect of each other's opinion.

I dont see any problems with that and it did came into his mouth that it is just okay and they would be treated just like the same into those typical normal athletes which would  really be much more preferred by them.
As a gamble then it would turn out to be a person choice if you would really make out bets out of those disabled person who joined the olympics or wouldnt really put up any personal feelings and would bet just like usual.

We do have different perceptions into this manner but most like gambler wouldnt really see this as a problem and so as into those participants which you can presume that they would be having similar words
into those someone who had been asked out.

I see absolutely no legal concern whatsoever on betting just because the competing teams or athletes are disabled or, how is now called, "diverse in abilities". It is as ethical as betting in women's games, men's games or any other competition that aims to stretch the human limits and to find out how far can hard work, science and determination take the human natural limitations. In the case of Paralympics it is, if any, even more inspiring than the usual olympics.
