Frankly speaking this is not a gambling thread therefore it does not belong to this place. And from look of things, every event in the world is gambling. Conflict between two countries now has turn to gambling in which people are creating thread for. In political events mostly election can be used as gambling and people can bet on them but not wars. I will not bet on killing on humans. We don't have to gamble with human life. Politics is a game but not life.
How do we bet such gamble. Is Israel winning Syria war? or what?

I don't think because they don't like it but political bets are not yet crowded after some time ago such as the US selection and many who chose Trump and from there also a lot of profits will be more crowded in the politics betting. And if the prize is very tempting in a short time it will become crowded back in the future.
The bad thing about political bets is that without knowing you can make enemies just because you do not agree with what they say, for me it is stupid that someone fights for politics, sometimes you can go against a candidate and respect their followers , in politics Perons are very susceptible, just in the betting threads with the Trump and Kamala thing you realize it, and even if the opponents win they do not respect it and do not accept it, they Continue believing that it is as they say, but it can only be more interesting over time, because a lot of controversy and fighting are Created , and that attracts.

I never bet or support bets about wars, especially on something that predicts a potential war; its unethical, and you are like wishing the war to happen. A platform like Polymarket should not let such a topic be created, or they will incur people who see this as distasteful.
There should be limits to what these platforms can accommodate. We are gamblers, but we are humans too.

Like many other users opinions here its correct that it is unethical and actually
not needed in terms of providing odds for war, destruction and the loss of life.
Its not actually required, we have live and future sports, virtual sports to fill in
between times where there is no sports, online slot, card and dice games along
with physical casinos and amusements to provide for our betting needs, do we
really need to bet on chances of war? I say no.

I don't think that people like to bet on such kind of a thing, were people like to is normal gambling, but anything that has to do with political bet, because political bet is full of disappointment that is why many people doesn't like to bet on such kind of betting, what they really love to bet is soccer game kind of gambling, cricket kind of gambling, tennis kind of gambling, casinos kind of gambling, this numerous kind of gambling is what people really need. Not political kind of gambling as I said before.
I think there are people who’d rather prefer to bet on real life events like politics, especially those who have gained some good level of knowledge and have really understood the field, it’ll be a lot more easier for them to make predictions in such areas. Everyone has an area of preference, where they can really feature very well, just as most people prefer to bet on sports, there are also those who would rather bet on other areas asides sports maybe because they don’t find sports as thrilling as we do and so would rather not attempt betting on them.

You see, that is why we are not like robots which may have a synchronize thinking faculty. As humans we all have the option to like and dislike things, in as much as you may not like other form of gambling eg political gambling, there are people who love those forms of gambling, reason being that, they have quite a good understanding of how these things work from inside, and being able to predict human actions based on their personality its a skill just as most person are able to tell the price of some cryptocurrency in the next few months or years. Sometimes the persons who get lucky in wining the lottery are those who follow their instincts, even if its against normality.

Gambling is now advanced more than you think, the same way you can discover that nowadays, people can gamble on anything, we may take the US presidential election as a good example the way many gamble on the winner and many more like that.
Some people like getting involved in arguments, some like to establish on their facts and some will tell you that it can only be on betting that they may try to engage a discussion argument with anyone and money have to be involved because they are very sure on their own stand, so it happens that people gambles on live events, it may not just be predominant.
I never bet or support bets about wars, especially on something that predicts a potential war; its unethical, and you are like wishing the war to happen. A platform like Polymarket should not let such a topic be created, or they will incur people who see this as distasteful.

But I am for the events that OP mentioned for me is not interesting, I prefer elections than that kind of thing.
Here are a few examples from Polymarket right now, from bad to worse:
Will Israel invade Syria in 2024? $408,982 Vol.
Another Israeli military action against Iran in 2024? $750,767 Vol.
North Korea x South Korea military clash in 2024?$653,593 Vol.
Will a nuclear weapon detonate in 2024? $3,445,778 Vol
Would you try to make money on this?
As long as the platform lets their gambler take the initiative on what to bet and create topics on what to bet, you will see this kind of bet. Gamblers are so imaginative when you give them the freedom to bet what they want. This may look unethical for others, but for gamblers, its a chance for them to make money. People love to bet on current events like war because they can analyze the circumstances and the history to come up with what they think is right.
I will not be surprised if, in the future, we have a platform betting about wars because humans have histories of wars in them.

would you bet on the guy that you don't like and you voted against because you know your candidate would lose? So keep your vote, but go for the $?
I was faced with this terrible decision with Harris vs Trump's election which later made me steer clear of betting it despite wanting to badly. Harris was my person but Trump looked like the winner, so betting on Harris was the same as wasting my hard-earned money, so I stayed off. However, this shouldn't be a big deal in other situations and I've done it in football many times as I bet against the team I supported, except that I took that election kinda personally.Quote
what kind of bets are simply too much for you?
No bets are too much for me, I can only manage the wagering amount in relation to the feasibility of the happening the way I envisaged. Quote

Yes, these are the least of my worries in betting. And like I said earlier, I will manage my wagering amount, this is better than entertaining fear. Events like this are simple for me to bet. Another Israeli military action against Iran in 2024? $750,767 Vol.

Looks like the invasion already started according to the news. I think the people who are into geopolitics could foresee this coming beforehand.
Whoever bets YES wins the large sum as this is premeditated.
Of course they didn't say Israel invaded Syria but it's the same thing as it only sounds like Israeli troops visited the place when in fact they were already in the Golan Heights before the terrorists came. Golan Heights has been part of Syria since time immemorial.
Nope I'm not betting on this kind of events.
Yeah, I think those who have knowledge that this will happen will make money out of this and I am also not joining such a thing. It's not about being a gambler or whatever, but it's because it could light some fire that might start a World War.
My gramps told me how difficult life is during a war and up until now just imagining it gives me goosebumps. I think Polymarket should really be careful with the lines they will input into their gambling site. Sure, it sounds fun to others to bet for such events but there might be consequences that we cannot see right now.

I would not try to make money from this because I know how our bets can impact the reality of this events to happen. There will be some rich people that might want to play games and try their best to make this events to happen. Just as when gun producers sponsor violence as it makes business to be in profits for them. I will draw the line at this because this events happening will make human life to be lost. We might think that it would not affect us but regardless of how far the events are from us. It will affect us somehow because of how connected the world is. We need some things from some of the countries that you method and we also export to them and in the event of war, all this might seize and we begin to have poor economy growth in our country.
We recently had endless discussions about elections in the US, while most of it was just about politics and less about actually betting, it did spark an interesting question in my mind at that time, and that was, would you bet on the guy that you don't like and you voted against because you know your candidate would lose? So keep your vote, but go for the $?
I have not bet on events outside of sports before. If I am to bet on political events, I will definitely look beyond my favorite candidate and focus on the candidate I think is most likely to win. The essence of gambling is to predict accurately, so I will not intentionally make silly mistakes and still expect to win by miracle. Yea, I will go for the money.At that time I abandoned the idea of creating such a topic cause the whole situation on the forum was already bad enough, tuning those topics into 4 chan material but with the current events and current "offers" on polymarket, from the Tyson match to actual war I'm curious, what kind of bets are simply too much for you?
I really do not understand why people are comfortable betting on wars, natural disasters and other events we would wish that they do not happen at all. Such bets are way too much for me and I do not see myself placing bets on any of those no matter the money involved. If I have the chance, I will put a stop to such betting options in casinos. Making money from bad news like these portrays a negative perception about humanity. legendary

There might be a sense that you're trivializing it, but that's not the intention. It's not as if you're praying that Israel would attack Iran simply because you've placed a bet on it. You're just predicting based on the developments.
And you're going to tell me that someone who has ut ten grand on that and sees nothing happening won't pray on the 31st for them to finally drop on a nuke or at last a bomb to start a damn war so he can cash out?
Common, I saw enough live matches where people in the bar would scream break his legs the moment a player would have a chance of scoring and make them lose their bets so I am pretty sure there are a ton of guys out there who if they would be given a choice between praying for a few strangers to get killed and $100k would take the money without hesitation.
The fact remains that no body enjoys losing their money no matter how much they have it, anybody betting on a war to happen will secretly pray for it to happen so they can win the bet and cash out, whoever says that himself putting up a bet on a war doesn't mean he is praying it happens, is simply lieing to himself and he knows it, he is just trying to make himself not to feel guilty for he knows what what he is doing is wrong.

I would definitely go and bet on someone I didnt vote for in this scenario. I
mostly follow Rugby and I often bet against my favourite teams so I dont
have a problem with the concept.

This is where I draw the line, betting on situations or perceived future outcomes
like the above because there are so many variables which can influence the outcome.
For me ai treat it as a way for a casino or platform to make easy money from
those who are compulsive gamblers.

Would you try to make money on this?
It depends, and as I only gamble occasionally I don't think I would encounter such situations of moral doubt very often. For me this question is similar to betting against your football team. I believe that in money matters we should not mix feelings and therefore if you want to win money you should make the most rational decision without letting other emotions cloud your judgement although it is better to avoid such bets. There are too many bets you can make. All kinds of bets. You don't need to bet on the ones that cause you a moral dilemma.
