Yeah unethical Somehow feels wrong if I bet on any conflict involving humans and cruelty like war, never looking for it on any platform either. I think it's crazy, there is such a bet maybe we all won't do it bet between the blood of innocent people, so sad.

It is actually a weird thing to do. This is human life not like is animated features captured in animals like bull fight or some other animals. I don't think I will have to do such betting because it is not a joke that people are dying. Taking human lives for joke in the time of war is looking unpatriotic, unsympathetic and dehumanizing. I think the sites shouldn't have allowed this type of betting but anyways , in times of sorrow it is time for another to joy.

There is really something wrong here, very bad and immoral to have this kind of betting prediction. Same here, I wouldn't participated. This kind of prediction sites have existed for many years in crypto space, but this is the first time that I've heard that a certain platform is trying to exploit a the conflict that we are seeing right now.

Some sites let us bet on politics, I remember some years ago I win an x5 when trump won as president of the United States and that was my last bet on politics, but now I was curious if there are sites to bet in the current war.

After searching I only find this site to bet in the current conflict:
https://futuur.com/q/149986/will-russia-take-kiev-by-force-by-the-end-of-2022

I don't feel is ethical to bet in a conflict like this and I will not, but I want to discuss the topic, what does the community think about this kind of bet.

Yeah, I do agree with the sentiments of most posters here, it seems that gambling platforms have taken advantage of the situation about the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

So it's unethical to me as well, the only thing I can do though is not to stake anything about it. But it's hard to stop that gambling platform to have this kind of bet.

Only futuur do make out such betting line which it might be part of their future kind of betting but they should at least made out some exemption of this one because its no fun on seeing
people dying and make out bets and thinking on making money for yourself which is very unethical to do so. Surprisingly there are sites who do really make out some this kind of
betting which for sure it would give out some negative impressions on that site

I would agree that it is unethical and it honestly never even crossed my mind that people would consider doing such a thing. I guess I'm a believer that bets like this should have a right to exist on prediction sites, I wouldn't participate and would probably think less of anyone that did. Prediction sites are great when their community is good and honorable though. I remember one of the early Bitcoin sites I interacted with a lot was bets4bitco.in or something like that... Anyway, most of the bets were about fun things like whether or not aliens would be confirmed to exist by the US Government by a certain date. Unfortunately it turned out to be a scam and everyone's coins were stolen. It was fun while it lasted though.

This is something that is simply not correct, there is a big difference between a political election and a war, I also made a bet for Trump to win, even if I did not liked him, and I earned a decent amount out of it, but in the case of this war we are talking about lives being lost or turned upside down and a country losing the opportunity to determine their own fate, so while in theory people can gamble their money in anything they want I hope that people do not do this as the topic is too serious to trivialize it in this way.

For political kind of bets then its considerable but this one turns out not to be ethical honestly on which even if you are a gambler you couldnt afford on betting on a war if you do know
that human lives are heavily affected or simply lots have died.

I dont know if there are people who dont really care and do still make out some bets despite of that certain condition but for me then i would surely pass on making out
some bets in related to this.

Surprisingly there are sites who do offer kind of betting which is a little bit across on the border.

Futuur site almost have everything on their site, even a bet on politics is possible and with this one I think its not that unethical since it talks about the invasion of Russia over Ukraine which is a total prediction a month ago and no one ever knows that we will end into this kind of situation right now. If you feel bad about it, just don’t place a bet.

I think its an easy bet to make. Russia wont take kiev by force by the end of 2022. I don't think that's the plan of Putin anyways. The NATO and other forces won't let that happen as it is a strategic loss for them to be watchful of Russia. Literally all of western media is portraying Russia and its President as an evil man that just wants to invade Ukraine and almost eveyone is either supporting Ukraine in its cause or abstaining to get involved into the matter (other than Belarus).

Whether everything can be bet on gambling including the war conflicts of Russia and Ukraine, even if one has been addicted to excessive gambling but it is very unethical to bet on conventional issues regarding the safety of the Ukrainian nation from the Russian war conflicts. At least we should pray for the realization of peace from the war conflict even if we don't physically provide assistance to Ukraine.

I was trying to see whether they were licensed, and it turned out that they were, but it was based on a yes/no forecast with a long time period. I wanted to react at first, but it's only a poll, so nothing very substantial like humans or other difficult aspects is involved.

The platform isn't to be blamed but those who are going the extra mile to wager on the outcomes of war are the faulty ones to be blamed, there are other things to bet on, but it appears they are bored. After the horrible things that have been seen online, the last thing anyone would want to do in a war right now is to gamble with the lives of people.

I don't think you can bet directly on war event since it's hard to verify information and it's hard to set the terms of the event itself.
But most of all ... this is not ethic and I don't think there are bookmakers that want this bad reputation.

probably only "oracle" token can be used for a bet like this, but even in that case I guess no one want promote an activity like this.

I won't bet on it, it's like a moral obligation not to. It's quite interesting for me to bet on politics when I know the history and background of those that are on the book but with a peaceful election.
But if it's about betting on war, I won't do that. It just feels weird and really not a good thing to bet for when you know that lives are losing through that war.

It's definitely unethical and morbid, I guess it's nothing new in this world to have many people interested in these kinds of things! But if there's a market/demand someone will provide, so I am not surprised that someone is offering some bets for this totally unpleasant situation!

If it's a bet against political parties, a reality show or something else, that's understandable and not too inhumane, but betting on war and the outcome is almost equivalent of betting on human lives and that has gone more than a competition. For those who may see nothing wrong with it, remember that some people are really in serious situations that we don't need to joke about.

Gambling was a good concept and people like to do that.The bet was essential was get into all the concern.Previously it was only on the spots of football,cricket,chess.Now the same was moved to the War concept now.My suggestion is the gambling on war won't be run for the longer period.Because the war will be start and end with a short period by the influence of the world country influences.

I can't understand it, it turns out that there is also a prediction site that puts the Ukraine and Russia conflict at stake Shocked

I have never tried to play in the futuur and I would not want to be involved in such predictions, I just think it really hurt both sides (Ukraine and Russia)

Prediction always had some logic,then it surely wins.If you had invested in the future.You need to online 24/7 for the long run.I had some investments on the future and had some loss and profit.Being a positive minded person was the essential one in all manner.So it also applicable to the trading also.But you should know the time of withdrew of certain thing.If you find the chart run with the 100 dollar loss,you should sell with 100 dollar loss in the future trading.If you skip the same,you may face to lose the entire investments.

futuur usually tackles all kind of events including current political situations. unfortunately, this is war and there will be thousands of lives who will not see the light of the day again. based from the betting line, there are already people who betted on this item but mostly in ooms, which is the free coin in futuur. it is quite a sensitive subject, so as a gambler you can always opt not to bet on this kind of event.

by the way, i noticed that futuur added this bet history feature. so you can now see who are betting on specific betting lines and the amount. so far, a lot of users are still using the ooms coin. so no harm done.

as far as i know freebitco.in also often makes bets about politics but for war they usually don't do that. I know it's the right of the futuur to hold a bet on the outcome of the war but to me, it's still unethical. will there be a reprimand received by futuur?

It's not right at all - people are being murdered by a brutal invasion from Russia and the outcome should not be a game to make money on. Let's hope that any site which supports such bets gets hacked or ddos attacked into oblivion until the owners learn to have some basic standards and dignity. You have to draw the line somewhere, politics is one thing - who will be the next president, who will become the next head of the IMF, etc. but this is a step beyond and taking advantage of huge suffering. There is plenty to bet on already and new opportunities every day, that don't involve unspeakable violence, so there is simply not excuse for any betting site to allow it.
