I understand that this is fake and was made for a joke. But some people dont know what jokes should be ended or are inappropriate... However, since some casinos have "special" section in sports betting (why this is in sports betting anyway?), and allow to place bets on election outcome, or on Oscar winner, or on music event like Eurovision, I would not be much surprised that in 5 or 10 years we would really have such absurd betting options. And most important what scares me, that casinos will hide behind "there is a demand on such betting" and there really be people who will find this demanding.

This is downright just not respectful to those stricken by the conflict and those who lost their lives unknowingly. I understand other government-related events like presidential elections or special changes in the government, but this should not even be there on the list. Then again, a lot of people and huge corporations make money irrespective of emotions and conditions of other people, so what you see here is happening, unfortunately.

I think this is edited? The images is not that clear tho. Betting who is winning in a war is completely ridiculous and insane, you know? there's a lot of lives taken and those kids who doesnt know anything and innocent are suffering to their country. It is very inappropriate to make fun of this as you know that this is a serious matter and it can affect other countries too. What is happening to the world? seems like were living in a cruel world. I understand that It's all about making money, that this is how casino business works but life shouldn't revolve around money, we still have something called Humanity.

Gambling is a game of probability and events and when people don't know the outcome of an event, they can bet on it, so I don't really think it is a big deal to even worry about. Let's say this forum for example, Satoshi left the forum over some years ago and then all of a sudden, there are speculations that he is going to return, don't you think there will be talk everywhere because nobody is for certain can say anything concerning the future of Satoshi, these are one of the kind of stuff we can bet on because nobody knows for sure the result and casino loves them because they make mad money from this events.

Sometimes, these options that you see around are a result of demand from the players, the company can not set up what will not be profitable but when the requests come from people who want to bet on the option, then the casino will provide for sure. Expect more ridiculous options if people want to see more. I think Grammy and Oscar are very fun to even start but these things can be manipulated by organizers because they are not controlled like sports, entertainment and betting shouldn't mix though but its what people want they provide I think.

This is totally nonsense but well what do you expect, the world as it's seem is getting worse everyday in terms of ethics and things that makes sense. How would anyone see it fit to even think of betting on wars, I mean it's just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Recently they have been many crazy things that is happening even outside the gambling world but many people seem to see this as the right things which is very bad, you can take the sex championship that happened in Sweden for example, and am many people actually placed bet in that competition also.

Yes, people would bet on all sorts of crazy stuff. And this didn't start now. Many years ago in the Roman Empire people bet on gladiators to fight to death. Wars should be shocking to anyone. And I will not be surprised if there is a bet for the country where the next pandemic will break out from. I wonder the casinos who give odds for this have no ethical or moral judgement. And people who bet on these types of events are morally depraved too.

It's not going to be fun, as people don't love taking advantage over the pains of others. I don't see the essence of staking games on war. The idea may have been in existence and some people may secretly practice it, all for money. Although, casino wouldn't venture into such kind of gambling, but people can be weird and would venture into any form of gambling activity for fun. It's risky to present war odds to gamblers, a colossal amount of gamblers wouldn't agree to it, thereby affecting the revenue of the casino. As they'll lose out on customers. Though, ridiculous ideas can be initiated, yet humanity comes first in all aspect of life. Some casinos may have tried this in the past and didn't find success, that's why it's not rampant. How would people detect the actual date a war is meant to commence or how long it would last before it comes to an end. Isn't it mockery to laugh when others are crying over their loved ones. Gamblers should focus more on other untapped deserving activities, which requires to be used for fun. This is just an absurd idea or suggestion.

Man, for a moment I thought it was real and I had missed it up somehow. I am glad it is not an actual thing, though.
I would not say betting is ridiculous, but some of the topics people can be willing to bet on are, that edit you shared with us is a clear example of what the future of some casinos could be (hopefully not).
I would wish people could think beyond the money or the posibility of winning a bet and would not participate in bets which involve literal bloodshed.
Let us stick to traditional betting and only put money on sport matches, beauty contests, sane politics and special events instead.
We should not stand so low to find entertainment while betting on war...

Very inappropriate indeed. Whoever did that must have nothing to do in his life anymore. I know many people today need a lot of attention to gain viewers but this is just stepping over the line.
There are so many things that can be done to gain followers and viewers but war is a delicate talk and there are a lot of people suffering because of it.
Yes, I guess there will be a lot of difference in the next 5-10 years to come in the gambling industry. It may not be about war but they will seek something that people like to talk about and they will use that trend to make money especially now that gambling is one of the biggest industries in the financial world. There are still a lot of different sports that I don't see being covered by them, perhaps someday they will also be listed even if they are cruel or inappropriate.

They are going to lose their reputation and it will backfire for their being insensitive, war is bad and when you talk of war you talk of atrocities you do not make a bet on war, even if they say there is demand I doubt if the casino will do that, they will receive backlash not only from the gambling community but from the international community as well.

In fact, if casinos are in profit they should donate to victims of wars regardless of race.
Casinos should leave war and gamblers should be responsible for requesting this, although I doubt if there will be requests like that

yeah.. I'm sure sane people would say that it would totally be insensitive and wrong for casinos to offer betting on war. War is a terrible thing that causes immense suffering and loss of life. It is not something that should be trivialized or gamified. Ideally no one should not profit from war, especially casinos. Instead, they should use their profits to help victims of war. This would be a much more positive and constructive use of their resources.

I hope that casinos will reconsider their plans to offer betting on war. I would better if there is an societal institution to urge them to think about the impact that this would have on victims of war and their families, and also urge gamblers to boycott casinos that offer betting on war. I think it would be nice if there are people who stand together against this insensitive and harmful practice.

- It's stupid
- How they can verify these bet

I know, most of casinos use a bookie provider. So, it's not always from casino fault but really they're not checking these type of bet? from a hundred match and provider list these bet ? what a joke.

I have just later think of this, it is true that war is not good, but people that are using it to bet are not the one causing the war, their bets do not add any benefit or harm to the war. If they bet on it, I do not think there is anything bad about it. If people do not want such a bet, they should tell the governments of the world not to go against each other in a way that will lead to war, but that is not possible. But if there is no war, there will be no bet like this.

The fact that war is political in all senses of things, we can and are free to open up a bet on the war, the shade of another man's blood is bad in all senses, so for that, we tend to condemn every genocide of any nature, but also we have to open up the fact that not all war is fought in physical take economic war, for instance, it's still a very strong weapon that countries use against each other.

So for sure, war when it is political is fair enough to be gambled on, but anything that has to do with killing of kids, women and vulnerable people is bad and should be condemned.

I am not surprised by this because there are people with weird interest and fantasies. If there are people who bet on underground illegal cage fights where people fight to their deaths, or other extreme reality games, I will not be surprised about people betting on war and crisis.

People who will bet on these kinds of termed sports have some mental disorder that they are either aware of or not aware of.

This is not the first time bookies have provided a place for betting on war, as far as I know on the Ukrainian and Russian wars there were several bookies that provided bets on who would win or how many casualties would fall on either side. This is disgusting, how could someone have the heart to post a bet like this. What if this happened to them? Don't they have a little heart to grieve? or at least just ignore it if they don't think it's important.
I think the bookies should take action against this, because it's disgusting how these fools bet on something that really shouldn't be bet on.

Yes, fortunately it was just a joke, if there was a possibility that the bet really existed I would not bet on a bet that involved war, that's why I think war can't be a joke because it also involves innocent victims, so I don't think it's appropriate made into a joke but everyone is free to do it as long as they have full responsibility for their behavior, I'm not really interested in betting on that bet.

I think sports betting is more fun and makes sense for me, after all this not only fulfills my gambling needs for something different and extreme, but it is better to gamble on what we usually bet on, for example football and the many leagues available today as well as other sporting events. what could possibly be bet on compared to a bet like this about war, it's not really that interesting, the world of gambling is getting weirder by the day Grin

Betting on war? How can bookies be providing service for their customers to be betting on war. Betting on who to win election, who to be the next miss world and something entertaining is better, but betting on war is just not appropriate and not entertaining at all. But people are people, they like to be full of something surprising.

Probably they will do it like war video game where gamblers will select their side and play the game the best and the skillful players will win the game. It will look like a football game station where gamblers pay for the service and play to have funs and bet in it if they want. Smile! Yes I have also seen people betting on election day who to win. But in election, if there is no manipulation the winner is always clear to know. And that is not a lucky game but a sure win. Really betting on war is ridiculous because you don't know who will win. And as I said, it will be a video game and not for live bet.

I understand that casinos are for business at the end of the day but I still think the owners are realistic and have some common sense. Wars are not like sport matches that you can clearly determine the winner because there is a time limit and a scoring system. Imagine if they opened a line for two warring countries like Ukraine and Russia and the bets wouldn't be settled for more than 2 years or more. It's just not practical.

Gambling is not limited to sports alone. Gamblers can bet on anything including war. I have seen cases where Gamblers place bets on women, especially those ones that prove to be too hard to get. Anyone who is able to convince the woman wins the bet. As ridiculous as it may seem, that's gambling for you and many derive fun doing this.

This now becomes a matter of personal decision to decide on what exactly to bet on. It is not morally right to gamble on humans especially when the victims are being affected negatively. During wars, lives and properties are lost, people become internally displaced along with other negative effects of war. This is a time they need our prayers, moral support and even resources. Making money from this situation shows no regards for humanity.

It's only possible when the casino is using western regulation, but if the war attacking one of western country it will be impossible.

With the current generation where money is the most important, there's a possibility they might add it in the future. Girls selling nudes or videos in Onlyfans and people who fool themselves to earn traffic are already normal.

if casino owners online or not have any kind of human decency they wouldn't allow it despite having a demand for such betting from bettors, but who knows, there are people who are greedy and as long as they are not physically affected by the war I doubt they will understand how scary a war is and it is not something that you should bet on.
