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

So what do you guys and gals think..... ?

In the first place, they are holding the Paralympic for equality and to be treated equals like a normal athlete and their sports like all the sports in the Olympics, so I don't see anything wrong why it's unethical to bet on their games, the unethical is questioning their capability, these athletes have train real hard and their respective government has supported them, we should give them the same treatment like athletes in the Olympic.

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?

Any casino marketing staff ..wiling to give us some opinions?

These guys and gals doesn't consider their disabilities as a hindrance onto the path to success or the way they play the games they love to. I guess it's still ethical to bet with them during these kind of events I think that might boost their morales if somehow there's other people that trust what they can do, just my two cents.

why would it be disrespectful? I mean it's not like people are making fun and betting on them for being disabled. I mean, people are betting on them because they are athletes and not because they are disabled. I don't see why it would be unethical.  

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

In my opinion, these rates are absolutely ethical.  Participants in the Paralympic Games are the same athletes as the participants in the Olympic Games.  

They are strong and courageous people.  They deserve great respect.  They do not require a special approach to themselves.  On the contrary, it would be unpleasant for them.  They want to be treated like ordinary athletes.  

Therefore, betting on winning the Paralympic Games is quite appropriate.  

Sports betting is a very interesting subtype of gambling.

I will gladly place bets on winning the Paralympic Games.

They are also athletes,they are also humans then why we have to show partiality towards them? Our sympathy kills them more than their disability so just go ahead and treat them as how you treat people, nothing wrong with such betting events if its ethical to bet on Olympic games.

It is ethical, it's still a sport. The moment that we ponder whether it's ethical or not is offensive to the people that will participate in this game because they want to be treated the same and not be singled out or pointed out for their difference.
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.
