Online betting sites are starting to offer odds on the war in Lebanon. If you have an opinion on when will the war end on how, you can place a bet on, for example, the possibility of an Israeli air strikes on Hamas by 2007.
Online betting sites are no longer limiting themselves to sports betting odds. Betting on global politic events are common betting options at many online betting sites. Betting on the current war in Lebanon has been raising opponents from the online betting world.
Garry Peterson, an online gambling columnist, claims that betting on the outcome of the war is morally wrong. In his column, Peterson had expressed his objection from gamblers who find betting on war as simple as betting on the outcome of tossing a die.
According to war betting supporters, there is nothing morally wrong about betting on general outcomes of the war or predicting the actions taken by countries or governments, as opposed to betting on war casualties.
