So what do you guys and gals think..... ?
It's a man who wears a shoe that knows where it actually pinches him. If you spoke to some disabled athletes and from you responds the gave their consent then it's no longer an issue. Personally I will not feel comfortable placing a bet on their games because I wouldn't feel satisfied with it but if it's endosered by the athletes then I will go ahead knowing full well it wouldn't look in any way unlawful

Bet on disabled people is not exploiting them, we can call itu exploit if we do bad things to him like force to be a beggar, force to win or he will got attacked etc.
IMO betting on this games should with low amount money to prevent from lost control. It's just for fun only either win or lost, we shouldn't mad with the athletes or even worse write a comment with bad words on their social media.

Then I prefer not to bet, just watching them compete and backing would be better, but if you want to bet big or small it's a good move if the gambling income is donated to those with disabilities. Maybe that would be much more useful. And can provide them with material support.
I think it isn't . People with disabilities wants to join an event like this in the first place because they show that they can do what can a normal person can do .
if a sport like this allowed then why not betting ? But Its still up to the betting platform if they will support such event or not but I think theres only less of them exist and many foccus on the main Olympics event .
^ That was how exactly what I say, they are also an athlete and all of them have disabilities so no one there considers as a normal athlete. We can place our bet if we want and that is not about an ethical thing. That is a major international sports competition for athletes with disabilities but they are still human and an athlete there is nothing wrong with betting in the Paralympics event and in fact they are fine, in that way, we could not even hurt them but instead, inspire them about their goal. if a sport like this allowed then why not betting ? But Its still up to the betting platform if they will support such event or not but I think theres only less of them exist and many foccus on the main Olympics event .
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..... ?

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.

I agree and IMHO, it's fine. They're also athletes and probably they know that there might be some bets that will be looking into their matches. And it is true, they don't want to see others treating them as that since they're also training and does the same as the usual athletes, they would appreciate it more if the treatment isn't different as that make it looks pity on them.But if you think that it's not good then follow what you're thinking about this.
It's fine, we treat them the same and they are even uplifting themselves since they've join such tournaments like this so we should also not show that they're different. Bet if you want to or not if you don't think it's not right.

I agree with most here, I don't see any ethical issues with this.
Betting on these athletes is the same as rooting for their victory and their ability to win, of course in this case the bettor is the main beneficiary of this action, even so, it doesn't take the merit that there is someone betting on the potential of that athlete, it's totally the opposite of denigrating him.
The only problem I see is you being able to find good sites to place these bets, especially if you want to bet with cryptos.
The Paralympic unfortunately, attracts much less attention and encouragement than the official Olympic Games.
I don't think it's that controversial since this event is going on for years and imo it'll take more than controversy to sway the decision of bookmakers since they've been adding crazier betting events like that slapping tournament.

Why would it be up for debate to determine whether this sport is ethical or not, wouldn't this be some kind of discrimination to do so? Anyway not sure about its ethical view but just like any other sport Paralympic Games shouldn't be treated any different as they are recognized sports, so people can bet on them however they like unless if you said this sport was considered to be illegal like dog fighting,street fighting or something.
Ok, you make a good point, but I still feel it will be rude to bet on Sports where people are disabled. There should not be anything wrong with people watching Sport where disabled people compete, but betting on it.. is taking it a little bit too far?
In any way, will bookmakers and casinos agree on betting on the Paralympics... or will they think it is too controversial to allow bets to be placed on disabled people?
They'd probably offer it as long as the market is available from their providers. I guess it depends on how you view betting because for me it's one way to root for them as i'm expecting them to win and if they lose i'd just move on.

its all depends on the organisers and the athletes. i believe no sports book will list a paralympic game to their gaming options without seeking their consent and if they approve it then it will be very ethical to gamble but anything outside that will be unlawful. i believe this disabled athletes love to be cheered too and if so i think betting on it will also be cool

Not considering them as a normal sport and instead of taking them as something "special" would be much ruder compared to being allowed to bet on their Olympics. It's like the situation is trying to make them feel normal and accepted but your consideration is actually making it a special situation for them. Treating them just like other types of sports betting is pretty much offering them the same respect that we have for the regular sports Olympics, no matter how "Unethical" (I actually don't see anything unethical with it tbh) it is.
Why would betting on Paralympic games be unethical? If it is okay to bet on all other games/events, why is this any different betting here? Just because it is the game for the disabled people? But don't they all want to be treated equally? I don't think they would mind or feel offended if anyone bets on their games. In fact it should make them feel better because we think that their games are worth betting on, right?
They are being treated equally so I don't see any problem with it. It's actually their way to prove to everyone that despite their disabilities, they're still able to do things that normal people can't do. We should normalize paralympic games because they aren't too different from us. We should admire these athletes instead because they excel in their own ways.

If they are considered as an award for people with disabilities then it is quite ethical, because they have the right to be treated equally, even though with some of the shortcomings they have, it has shown they also have talent, sometimes we will see not just gambling but as a form to motivate them. Since what we saw was the skill, not the physique, then betting for that reason was very logical.

It is completely ethical and we are not going to disrespect any participants by making bad remarks on anyone so i don't think so there is something bad to bet upon on Paralympics events which are going to start soon.We also need to take it as major sports event because they all take active part in all games and motivate all of us ignoring any disability and discrimination on any grounds. If we are giving them same or more respect then betting is very much fun for the same so have it positively man.

I feel it is not right to use them to gamble and I think it is disrespectful for us to do that to them. They want to be handled like any other athlete but we should not gamble for their performance or winning.
Maybe we can show the other things like attention to them and I am sure they will appreciate it. But I do not know if others want to gamble for them and I do not mind with that because gamble or not will be up to them.

The paralympic games are an international multi sport competition for people with partial or complete disabilities hearing sight mental skills in general any one or more of the five senses of the disabled or handicapped disabled athletes participate in this sport. I think it is moral for them because betting on this game will help the disabled and disabled to achieve success this will eliminate their mental problems and will be able to earn through betting.
There should not be anything wrong with people watching Sport where disabled people compete, but betting on it.. is taking it a little bit too far?
why betting on it would it be a little too far? what difference does it make if people bet on them? they are athletes just like the ones in the Olympics. In any way, will bookmakers and casinos agree on betting on the Paralympics... or will they think it is too controversial to allow bets to be placed on disabled people?
reading articles around it seems that there are bookies posting odds on Paralympics but according to them the audience or people betting on Paralympics is extremely low compare to the people betting on the Olympics. betting on it shouldn't be controversial. but that is just my personal opinion.
