In my town there are ants that only appear once a year and it is common for children to capture one and start a fight against others ants.


This made me think ...  What would happen if this took a step forward and stopped being just a children's game?

How would it be if you could bet?
How would the people see it , its just as crazy as a dog or a cock fights?
What do you think?

In our country kids catch spidera and let them fight on a stick. You can also see adults doing the same and guess what, they are betting money with it. The question is, will this kind of gambling catch gamblers attention online?

I have seen bugs fight,some are spiders fighting with certain amount as bet but never heard of ants doing the same way,i find it cool and very unique so i will surely bet on it mate.but i guess this will be limited for some areas since we have our own sets of inects in each places

BUT YES i will definitely bet on this

I remember that in my young age, sometimes I bet for the insect with my friends and I have a great story with the insect ;D
I can win over and over again, but unfortunately, the money is not too big ;D
I think people will not attract to bet for the insects because they think that is not too interesting to make a bet and they better to bets in the dog or horse.
But I don't know if that is applied for online gambling because there is no gambling website which uses insect for the match.

Basically, if the bet worth it, then i will go for it. Although am strange to this kind of  game and if interesting why not bet on it. Never believe if the game will be interested if initiated into online games. In my country this type of insect fight cannot happen.

I know this one, but I have no idea about what OP raise is happening.
Seems very interesting to find out how it was played, I hope there are videos where we can see them fighting, like a youtube video or something?

Well I heard a lot of news that people are really making bets on insects like spiders in a prison wall. And I also went on that childhood wherein we will catch spiders or ants in summer and have them fight.

So I will probably bet on this insects to insects fight. Brings back memories and I'm sure it's one hell of a fun.

What we are doing in my country is spider fight. It's so fun and with just .2 dollars you can have your own spider and you can fight with your friends with small bet. That's what most teenagers are doing in my country whenever there is an open store that sells spider.

Surely it will attract attention from gamblers since a winner and a loser is at stake, gamblers will bet on it. While growing up, I have seen children gathering around neighborhood to watch insects fight for some fallen food on the flour... ;D

Nope I wont bet on insect fighting, I think it is just a game for fun and for kids only. It would be bad to involve money on it since it will be crazier than dog/cock fighting. Dog or cock can be trained, trainer can improve the skill, stamina, of the dog/cock but I dont think it is applicable for insect.

Hilarious. This is crazy. Why in the world would anyone be interested in watching ants fight? Absolutely silly idea. Someone might even think about gambling on rock fighting in the future. ;D

Some things are just meant for fun and nothing else people.

That was my childhood play that when me and my friends home from schools we usually play fighting crickets and it was very fun but to bets for them i don't want to it even if i want i highly doubt it will be available since this thing dominated played by childrens so i don't think this is good options to gamble through insects fight

I remember the spider fight. When I was a kid I used to catch spider on the field with my friends, its a common game here for so long and up to now its still well-known especially to boys.

Its an interesting game and somehow different to other animal fight since its a bit small, I think gamblers would find it entertaining as well.

I think that it is possible to bet on that because we have seen some other bets with animals. Making an example, I have seen people betting on dog race.

There is also goats fighting and knocking their heads and horn. Back then while still young, I have seen such bet too.

If you have put 2 insects in a certain area to fight i consider it unethical.  Insects are more intelligent than you think:

I remember my childhood on this one. Well, its just for fun actually but some owners who have the money to bet will surely done this thing before. This kind of fight is not that good online, since its hard to know who really wins the game and there's no right place for this one. Local betting can be more possible just like the cockfighting but it will depend to people whether to continue to have fun on this, or just stop it and let the insects live on their own.

I cant find any good reasons to bet on insect fights. We cant analyze, we cant predict, we cant do researches of the insect. It will be pure speculation bet and obviously it wont be profitable for players as there is no strategy at all to bet on such fighting unlike the fights of dog or rooster where we can do some analysis/researches first before placing a bet.

This is the first time that I heard this kind of betting game and made me think that this could go somewhere. In the trash. No offense.


I don't think that people would like to see an insect fight even though it's really rare and unique idea to do so.


This is one crazy game for a betting game.

For me, it would be impossible to predict what insect that would win, a guess is that an insect will only last a few matches at most, so favorites are not something you can keep betting on.
Another thing is that those matches are animal cruelty, so I would not put any money on them.

I never tried but I saw others betting on spider. I don't have intention as well because it's completely illegal. They don't have any permit so they are competing in hidden place, like it's not visible in highway but still Police has an asset so it's how many years now since they stop it. You can also sell the spider you got to a gambler. Price depends in body, arms/legs length.

..I don't think that an ant fight would catch the attention of gamblers..but would you believe that a spider fight would catch attention on some gamblers?..maybe yes,because here in our country,,spider fight bettting really takes place..i thought they are just do it for fun but in the end they places bets on which spider will win the match..But insect betting is not that much attractive and impressive to gamblers specially professional gamblers..they will call it insane.. :D :D

For some Asian countries insect fighting has been done in the past, Asian countries like Japan, China, Thailand, and Vietnam have Beetle fighting as well as Cricket fighting but I haven't seen anything about them having insect fights for ants. My guess is because of the insect type itself unlike Beetles or crickets you won't really be ae to differentiate both ants in terms of their ability or strength. Unlike beetles or crickets in which you will see see that some of them are considerably larger compared to the other. And in terms of betting its not that really big in the insect fighting community like what I have said you will only have four main countries who might be interested in it.

yes i do . on our place we use spiders  .  both spider will crawl on a barbeque stick and if one drops  , that is one point . the match end until a spider scores 3 points but if a spider dies the game is automatically over and the live spider will be the winner  .   the bets are mostly 1usd to 2usd  . it was thrilling and enjoyable but its now illegal because nowadays  , our government is now strict when it comes to local gambling .

Sure, why not? If it's a one-off thing, I might be inclined to make a bet on it, could be fun.
Only with insects though, not about to start betting on cock-fighting or anything like that :P

I used to bet on this kind of games, but it was just a friendly bet as me and my buddies are fond of collecting insects and have them fight during summertime when we were kids. So I'm not sure if there is a community or a fan based on insect fights. I know in Asia it's predominant, but how about any parts of the globe? I don't think though that I'm going to bet, for me it's just a friendly game and should not involved huge money, IMHO.

This is just like the live mouse racing or rather these are a species of Mongolian guinea pigs actually I believe,,, that this forum has a thread for, you should check it out. I think ant fighting might be different because it is about killing each other so you will find trouble to make this a legitimate or ethical form of gambling. Sure there is no blood,,, no screaming,,, but it is fighting to the death.

I remembered those memories before when I used to bet with the spider's fight and with the turtle race, too. Lol. I agreed that it was quite fascinating to see some insect fights like the special ant in their country. But I was wondering, do they also allow them to fight with the stick, too? :D or do they also captivate and  put the two together in one close space? How does it work?

I haven't found some videos on youtube  :(

For sure they can fight on a stick, but I have never seen that haha I will tell the kid's to try that  ;)

How does it works: they just rub their heads to make them angry and the fight starts. And just like leea-1334 said its a death match because the ants go like crazy and they dont separate until one is death.

Another crazy thing of these ants is that they are also eaten and considered a delicacy  :-X

It's interesting that a lot of animal battles are gambling by gamblers, it's very simple, but are you all used up to play games that aim to gamble? I will not watch animals attack each other because it is not very human for me personally, there is nothing to boast about in a fight as I see that it is not commensurate with what has been issued, then stop doing it only the child who does appropriate game in gambling.

LOL my oh my I would never bet my money on a insect fight.
Now I would not have any problem if children wanted to partake in this activity.
Reason being that insects arent pets such as cocks and dogs are.
It is difficult to build a emotional relationship with a ant,
Funny topic please post some videos of possible.

Whether you said it or not, it is completely crazy to see the insect is fighting and you are gambling with that fight too.

When and where you gamble these kind of games? does the investors really like to invest these kind games?

Too much confusion about this game.

Why don't you like cock-fighting? Many Fathers on rural area in my country are playing cock fighting. It's fun though I watched many games of it and it is more crowded than watching your favorite basketball team. The crowd is roaring and looking left and right you can see people setting their different bets.

On insect, in my country children are catching spiders and they are fighting it with each other. Those spiders only that lives on the tree not those black widows, tarantula and etc.

Aahhh, the good ol' days, when I was a kid on my Country Indonesia, most of us are betting on a betta fish fight, I'd remember clearly how I asked my moms to buy the fish and the process taking care it carefully and patiently, and when its matured enough the 'judgments' days have come, we are betting on our own fish to be the champion.  Damn man, this thread really gets me to the nostalgia.

This is similar to spider fight but only played by children in my place. They would search for a specific kind of spiders, put them in a match box and find and opponent with the same spider. This game is fun, children would usually gather around watching and betting on their spider of choice. The defeated one will be wrapped in silk by the winning one but before it is totally wrapped audience will be cheering and making noise for their bets. I imagine ants fighting are also the same but i didnt see same kind of ants fighting but only those that are different from them. If I would bet for ants, maybe for fun if it will not do me any harm.

From what I've seen this type of gambling can materialize, there's a lots of ways where gamblers really played even in a small form of gambling, same a like with spiders in some small town from where I live people already doing this occasionally, they are betting with spider that they've catched during summer and believe that it will bring them luck to win the bets.

Those are hella big ants.This is my first time on seeing that there are animal fights like this but i dont consider for it to be included for gambling, this would be just good
on local happening but for worldwide i dont think there would be soo much attention it will gain.

I remember betting on a house spider battling through sticks way back then. The bet would be our lunch money since that particular insect game is popular on kids. Its a 50/50 chances of winning though so its not hard to decide. We bet based on the largest ones but small ones really have some spirit of war.

This kind of fight is part of my childhood.

A bettle fight and spider fight. Betting wasn't so popular before for us as children but there's already a stake and that is any of your another pet, a bettle or spider on your reserved cage.

This fight can only be a fun diversion.   Obviously some will object on cruelty grounds but the main reason why not is the performance and ability of the insect is entirely unclear.   You cant easily guage is the insect is in good health or not, its entirely unpredictable.

Take horse racing and there is pedigree to the whole sport, this matters

I think we all have a good childhood on this one. Well, i didn’t experience to have some bet with the insects but I think its almost the same with the spider. This is just a small way of having fun, so i believe it will not attract more gamblers. Anyway, i will bet on this one on a live place not thru online.

Missing the good old days when we were once a kid and doesn't think about the future or tomorrow.

In my place, there's no giant ants like OP posted so mostly we play with bettles and spiders matches.

Insects fighting, I remember that way back when I was in childhood. Spiders, ants and even fish they have matches that we can make bet. But for me, that is not advisable to the children to play that kind of matches. That is still living things that we must respect their lives. However, there's a lot of matches that you can amke to bet rather than fighting insects.

Its very common here in my place but its not consider as a way of gambling because its literally just for fun and for the pride. I used to play this before, and not just insects but also some other animal that are getting wild against their opponents, just like the spiders and the cockfighting. Its not cruelty for some people, but it really hurts now to see animal like this, i guess i’m old and matured now.

If there's a sportsbook or gambling website that start's offering market for this kind of event I would bet if the minimum is low enough for me.

There's no place where you can gamble with ants and if you're serious you have to look for an opponent IRL. OP is just sharing his opinion about the possibility of it since you can bet on almost anything.

Same in my country. I remember when I was a child, I earn money selling spiders to adults who use it for gambling.

I think, if men put bets on cockfights, they will also put bets on ants or spiders fighting. As long as it is exciting enough.

Why not? But it's my first time seeing this kind of insect fight when I first read the title of this thread I thought it's some kind of spider fight because that's what I'm familiar with... well I'll definitely bet if they would make a live insect fight and accept a payment of cryptocurrency.

but just like a dog fight I see this cruel forcing 2 innocent insects fight each other for our entertainment, I change my mind I would just bet on gambling games lol.

this very new to me and I don't previously do it this type of betting but I know only one thing it will be more entertained and fun with it but this type of way to bet is like make your entertainment only not for making money

In my country, I see games with animals, and they use turtles for games. Who has a turtle that can walk quickly to completion, he will be the winner. You can imagine how long the turtle will walk ;D

The game is just for fun, but I heard that some people use this as a bet and they use money in the game. But I never watched it myself because this game is not popular here.

Another game is a bird contest. People come to one place with their birds, and they listen to the singing of birds and whoever has the longest singing bird will be the winner. I think there are more games using animals that people use in my country, but I don't know too much.

In such games I'll never participate, because it isn't trained to fight. The winning could happen to any one and it is hard to predict. Everything is supposed to be selected in a random way, so winning is completely luck dependent. This way I don't want to loss, better I'll go with more other common games that were available for us.

Maybe in future, yes. After i research which insect is good to fight.  ;D Because i think insect fight almost like same sportsbetting on boxing or any other fighting match. That is why we must know which one is good or which one is bad first.

As for me per-say, i will not bet on any game that will not be entertaining to me as a gambler, basically, still wonder how such game will attract gamblers to gamble on just an insect fight. Gamblers seek for fun, entertainment and winnings when it come to gamble. If others will do, i cannot bet on insect fight. 

There are lot of bug fight that is famous, cricket, ant, bettle and others but I don't enjoy that kind of game or gambling, its not excited for me, infact it's horrible to watch, its an animal cruelty and sometimes one of the animal will die or losing some part of it's body, its not entertaining for me

Lol. It's interesting and i wouldn't mind placing a bet on it. I've seen some insect bets like snail and bug racing and spider fights and it's quite entertaining. You usually see this in far off provinces as past time for locals.

Well, that would essentially just increase the randomness of the fight.

I mean, unless you're going to analyze the strengths of a ant.

Well, isn't it too complicated to even watch this fight ? How will you make the two ants fight ? ::)
A better option is to bet on Bull fights etc.

So whats unethical on that?people.tend to find something to make fun and insects are.mostly bringing us itchiness and bites so theres an instance that we use them as joyful materials or sometimes gambling instruments, and who cares about their intelligence? Would that bring you something to become happy?lol

I guess this is the appeal of something like this. It is totally random in a sense,,, no control over it, and maybe less chance to cheat. But I know some people if they had a chance they would do something like maybe give the ant a small gas treatment to make it sleepy,,, or some sugar to make them active. The only "true random" is if they find a colony of the soldiers and pick random and then bet on it instantly within 5 minutes or something.

Insect fight is popular in some countries, it is gambling and I guess you are also aware of cock fights.

There is no official games available on these kind,so there are no rules so how you are going to predict the winner if you bet on it. :D

It may be absurd but I already did.

At that time I am just a child and at that time, we usually go to a grassland near the foot of a mountain and find spiders. We use it to fight to other person with spider and bet on it. We bet money, sometimes toys and also spiders too. If I am not mistaken, there are bugs that fight too. In my country it is hard to find one and we usually end up finding spiders but not bugs.

fucking no, for me it's the same like an animal fight. i never would bet on it nor watch something like this... why the fuck can't people let the nature be nature... they wanna get money from every shit, this is so disgusting.  ::)

I am not big fan of gambling with some birds and insects but it may be entertained everyone then only it can be possible to put the money and make the fun but it will not suitable for money making whenever I am gambling I am go with the mindset of making the money only.

Are those in the picture winged ants? How does those insects fight? Well, I have done some betting on insects but not on ants but on spiders. People in my country usually use spiders for Derby and do gambling through it

I can not bet on animals fight talk more of insects fight.  It doesn't makes any sense to me and I only bet on something that doesn't involve fighting.  I hate to see animals fighting talk more of taking advantage of them to makes money.  Is not everything we make money from and we should have the interest of this planet at heart sometimes.

Probably those are winged ants and trying to search that chicatana ant history then you can find it here: https://www.fondazioneslowfood.com/en/ark-of-taste-slow-food/chicatana-ant/
They are also food (which i cant imagine.)

Cocks fight are interesting to watch and bet. The perspective of ant fight is small. People would not be able to watch that live and would not be interested to watch them on TV screens. And the Ants and dumb and has very few moves. It would be like betting your money on e-sports. But people bet of e-sports, than there would be people betting on ant fight too.

Never heard of anything like this but I imagine if you can think of it someone has bet on it before.  Some of these hardcore gamblers are willing to bet on anything.  I'm not in favor of anything that leads to animals dying, I know cock fighting is very popular in some countries but it saddens me. :(

You just have to bet on who's going to win.

Yes, but on this OP i have my own insect being keep.and I will going to have a match with it to other insect holder. Simply the kind of insect that always fight when it meets especially if it is hungry obviously the spiders. This is what I think that spiders are insect too. Anyway, betting will depend on the spider's condition and the match with another spider. Usually the consideration of a good fight is the advantage that one spider could have in terms of the size of its legs, the color, the brees line and the age of the spider. Older spiders are good in biting so this could be advantage when it meets with another spider.

This sort of thing should be discouraged. Animals are not objects or robots... they have feelings like people.  There are thousands of things to gamble with other than living things .

If your country  have no strong law against animal abuse then it's a lawless country.

Once you understand that this are extremely complex matter   with families, babies and with strong purposes, you will probably won't put them in such conditions.

Please look for other things to fight with and stop this violence and lawlessness

Okay, that would be really weird. I don't get it how people is going to enjoy watching insects fight, let alone betting lol. Let's be realistic over here, I don't think much people would be interested on such kind of thing.  There are better ways of betting than watch small things fight with each other.
Anyways, whats next? A race between a rabbit and a tortoise?

Gambling with insect isn't new in my country .
We use spider here and place bets on who would win other than that I don't really know any other insect fights.
But I don't think that it would really be a thing on the internet.

I haven't seen flying ants before. How do you even attempt to organize these fights when the contestants can just take off and fly away lol? Are there special fight cages for ants?

It would be more crazier than this, I mean crazier than cock fights not dog fights because that would be illegal you fool. Dogs are man's bestfriend not just some kind of animal that you would put into a fight and you would place your bet, grow up dude. Betting on insect fights is very childish, and the chances of losing is very high, you don't even know the capability of a certain insect if it could really fight, unlike in cock fighting, you could train the cock that you are going to put in the arena, at least you have some grounds on winning if you really train your cock so hard(lol), don't get the wrong idea.

It might not be that bad if you are just going to bet a little amount of money like it was really just for fun, and not bet big amount of money like treating it like a real big game.

Yes I definitely like to invest in different kind of gambling so there will be lots of opinion will be created by betting on insects but they are interesting entertainment so betting for entertainment will always be supported by me not for money.

I would totally do it too!. Sounds like a pretty interesting entertainment when you absolutely have nothing else to do. Never crazy high bets tho.

With animals i wouldn't do it. But so far it's not really proven that insects actually feel like animals or like us.

After reading this topic I can get some idea about this type of betting and it was a new type of way to gamble but how it is possible to fight between the insects to get your success.

This is a first time i am hearing about the Insect fight and i will be very interesting to see this fight live.  I have seen many cock fights and it is popular sports in our country.  Betting is cock fight is a growing trend in our society.

The war between insects is always a battle for life. When you try to create artificial conflicts to create your own benefits is a bad thing that goes against the laws of nature. I disagree with your idea.

I never like the idea of doing gambling for things which involve living things life. I feel really angry and sad when people enjoying Insect Fighting and cock fighting and  betting on them on who will survive.

How could anyone be happy on the expense of the life of a living animal ? :(

Insect isn't popular in your country whilst in other countries like mine, there's a fight like this.

And the bet here in my locale isn't too much, mostly kids play this fight and the stake is their other insect pet.

it be interesting to see a gambling site where be bet on insects. spider fight is very common in the philippines, kinda like a cock fight here and those who are fond of it knew the rules about the game. i however don't think there will be a lot of bettors since this isn't like MMA where wee know the status of the fighters.

Do we came from the same country? Lol. Anyway, when i was a child I once hunt spiders every night (because we believe thag they're easier to catch during night time) on my province and match them up on the next day. Some of the naughty kids along my neighborhood play with involving money but I refuse to do such thing during those times because I'm a good boy and strictly follow parental advice. Ahh, the good old days!

Anyway, the use of crypto can be applied here if and only if will be only under the table transactions. I mean, it's like "if you win then give me your btc address and I'll send the payment, after that we're good". Online gambling? I don't think it will work because 1) there is no association who handle such kind of game thus we can still consider it as illegal 2) Animal welfare activists will get mad and say it's a form of animal cruelty 3) These insects are seasonal thus there would be a struggle for creating matches.

Hell yeah, even the roosters are allowed to be fighting with each other here on our place and so many people bet on each sides and there are millions of money involved in it. Any fights can be have bets on them as long as there is fairness in it. In our home town there are people taking care of a small fish called " fighting fish" and they put them to a fight with real money bets on them. I guess the imagination of humans are unimaginable if we talk about betting, we just can't get over even with even tiny animals and other living organisms have to put bets on.

For this reason it could succeed in countries where animal fights are already popular. In countries where dog fights are banned and people aren't used to seeing animals fight even insect fights wouldn't become popular. There would be a lot of people against it and they would ultimately ban it from public display.
I don't know what to think of it. I'm against dog fights so this is wrong and cruel too.

Do these bugs fight to the death?  If so, how long does that take?  If not, how would you determine the winner?

People will really gamble on anything, and I have learnt this fact on bitcointalk.  Betting on insect fights has got to be a new low however.  Not that I think it's particularly cruel but it is a very strange concept in my head.  Such a thing wouldn't be something I would wager on, nor would I gamble on animal fights.  Those I do think are cruel.

I am glad you already admitted that it is absurd, I would say it is  weird and would have as well said inhuman but I remember you mentioned playing while you were much younger.

I want to assume you wouldn’t partake in this type of terrible game again ever, with the varieties of more interesting games that have be made available for us to choose from. I just feel we are not been fair to animals by making them partake in fights just for our personal interest and entertainment, we have to also put ourselves in their own shoes and see how it would feel.

yes we do have it when fiestas. people bet which spider falls 3 times loses on the stick or they can have a rule like til death. these spiders are vicious they can fight til they wrap their opponents for consumption. i use to collect these kind of spiders when i was just 12. i sell these spiders to my rich schoolmates, these spiders sometimes cost half a dollar if they find it rare. that is already a huge amount for me.

This isn't the idea of OP.

But this happens in the reality.

I only saw insect fights on star war series. :D

If it is reality then it is not preferred by many gamblers that is why it is not so popular game to bet on.

Correct, in reality this event is really happening, there's certain country who loves and enjoy betting with this type of gamble, this insects have to suffer their own lives in order to satisfied the gamblers lust of gambling, they needed to fight against each others and to decide who's gonna win, one must die to declared the other one as a winner.

That's the reality.

And out of those matches, there's a big pot of money at stake for the people who are interested with this kind of match.

Again, I see a new kind of fight between animals and I'm wondering what the heck is wrong with this world of gambling? It seems like everyone wants to create their own sports that people can bet on and they don't know what to choose so they move their attention to different animals. Soon, we shall see option to bet on sharks, lions, or who know maybe monkeys  ;D ;D ;D

I don't like insects, but forcing them to fight seems a bit mean :)

My answer is nope spider fighting or ant and what so ever insect fighting it's only for the kids fun games they put money to bet for their excitement but for those real gambling isn't interesting.

Yeah cockfighting is a very popular gambling game as there was a huge community for them and I believe there is also a competition or event in which they called Derby .i also know about Spider fighting with bets but i guess what OP is pointing is another sets of insect or i think its about flies?well what matter the important thing is thats cool and i wanna see one of those in actual fighting

It's part of the history and has been passed on to the colonies that has been conquered during the Spanish Era.

About the spider fight, there's another thread for it --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5134445.0

You are entitled to your opinion bro but on the contrary there is nothing disgusting about the game at all. It is very interesting and there are many viewers of it who are also being entertained through it. Aside the money aspect of the game, there just this entertaining side of it that makes it worth the   time spent in watching. The view of having two insects battle is humorous. It’s an old time game and I can’t remember the last time I ever watched or visited the scene of this but its quite interesting.

Betting on ants is not something that would interest me. I suppose it’s no different to dog, bear or cock fighting though & those type of fights go on so I’m sure there’s a niche for any type of animal fighting.

Indeed. Although they are somehow considered as pest to humans and plants, their role is still vital in the environment. Distrupting their nature for the sake of gambling is morally incorrect. We should be contented in gambling using computers and machineries instead.

I use to do that when ias younh,i gather more insects and cut their lower parts so they will get angry and i put them all in a glass with pyramidal design and they will start fighting till they lose their strength


Well that would be difficult for elders to find insect as small like that lol
I will definitely bet on this mate,this is so cool and entertaining.because i can afford to lose insect than cocks or dog in fighting for gambling

these so called insect fights are already a tradition to some countries most especially if you are living on a 3rd world countries  .

gambling with insects are not done all the times  but they do have thier schedule or time like for example every 3rd quarter of the year but idk if some countries do have the same schedule . i remember when i was a kid my favorite was spider .

the bets were only penny or cents that time  but i stop doing it now because i feel like im already old for those kind of stuffs  .

I have not heard about this ants fight even in my childhood days. What i always played is the spiders fight. I think it's only good for children and not for adults. Maybe in some countries they are betting with insect fights but here in my country, it's not really happening.

Well different people with how they view things actually but honestly I am surprised that the game can be seen  to be entertaining. There are over 100s of very interesting game to watched and played and I don’t consider this one of them.

I knew about the game years back and I am glad not even me or any of my friends ever participated or watched. I saw it inhuman act on the animals and even then, there were still very interesting games that could be  played to get money or watched for entertainment. Let’s call a spade a spade and we would agree that insect fight is not an  an entertaining game for gambling

It seems really interesting to me because I have never seen any insect fight ever in my life, I never even heard about it, but as you said spider fight is ok so when I searched about it on YouTube I got to know yes there are some tribes in Africa where people use to bet on spider fight people, keep spiders and then make them fight, it’s really strange.

In a traditional gambling they are been used but by the technology now, most of the gambling practices has been converted to computers with the help of online gambling this is no longer been practice or not even known by this new era, they are now engage with sports betting or any types of casino games where they are enjoying inside the convenient of their own devices.

If you had spider fight during your childhood in your country, how are you so sure there won’t be insect fight in the long run, which I am sure it will also be introduce one day? They all belong to the same category if you ask me.

I have never tried any of this and it is can’t be found in my country I must confess to you. I have never even heard of it until I saw it on this forum and I think some users too have denied the knowledge of it. For those who have played, they’ve made me believe it is really interesting and I look forward to the day I will or play also even though I am no longer a child.

Back when I was still in grade school, me and my friends used to purchase box of spiders and let them fight in a barbecue stick. If I should incorporate gambling, I would try at least to bet and assess each insect depending on their size and colour. I mean, gambling revolves around odds and maybe this type of betting can be relatively famous on specific parts of the world.


Not ants but spiders or some insects that are capable of fighting. Well in traditional gambling, you deal with cards but here your focus is on the insects! It is both entertaining to watch and gambling!

I have never been into a fight where ants are directly involved.I have witnessed spiders in a stick fighting but not with ants.Maybe in some countries insect fighting have become legal but not in my own country.Cockfighting is what we have here that are mostly enjoyed by gamblers.

There’s no insect fight here in my place but if its available online where its more convenient then I will bet since its fun to see insects to have their fight and its quiet rare to see that. Though insects have the right to live, i think there’s a culture where its ok to gamble with insects.

Well, i have heard about spider and cock fighting, but Ant fighting it is a new idea on betting wise. But I have seen ants games in mobile, but not for bet. So this will be new introduction in gambling, and i hope people will like it to play and bet on it. Actually in gambling all new things i like it. 

It's not going to go beyond childrens and urban villages' past time gambles i think. That kind of gambling won't make it far in the actual gambling scene even if it's played online. I've heard about all these exotic bettings before and they seem to be getting support only from local communities, mostly from the ones where they came from. I wouldn't mind though to make a bet probably once or twice if given a chance 😁

I too do not think if such a game even exists or it might be there somewhere but very few among us know about it and since the risk and uncertainty in the gambling is very high, I do not think anyone will go for it. Why not rather go for sports gambling which is way too entertaining and has visible signs about the win or loss.

Moreover, you could make use of your experience in sports gambling to maximize the chances to win whereas even with (for example) horse racing too we cannot be sure about to be winning all the times (horse race betting is one of recognized skill based gambling in many countries).  

I don't know if there are bets for insects as small as ants. About children, anything can be used as a game if indeed it will be an interesting game for them. But for insect gambling, I don't think it would be a bet that would be exciting, but who knows if later or indeed there has been gambling for insects like that. If that happens, I think it is purely a bet just to have fun while being with friends to fill their free time.

In my own opinion, i would not bet on an insect fight like ants because it is just like a cock betting fight that i use to watch on a television and in my place. I would rather bet on a cock fight and in a sports rather than insect fight because it is only interesting for a child to play, so i would just play in a crypto casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/golden-lucky-pigs) rather than playing and watching insect fight because i would enjoy more in earning profit by playing poker and baccarat. Lastly, i would only watch and bet on spider fight because it is the only insect fight that i only enjoyed and entertains me.

I think people are really a fan of gambling as long as they could bet it and who will win. May it be insects or animals who are both brave that will fight to death. But looking at these creatures fighting each other just because human let them fight each other is sickening. Although it is your choices to make them fight but i don't really like the idea of insects/animals fighting each other.

Yes, its sickening but you cant stop people on making some gambling games with random things.If they do saw that it can be potentially make
up some bets they even these insect fights wont be excluded.For small fellas that do fights out it is really less interesting rather than  seeing
like cock fights which is more entertaining that on these insect fights.

They entertained well in insect fighting match and probably the will grab the chance to have a betting. But for me, I won't find any interesting on that insect's fight. Looks like very unsatisfaction because they only fight with a minute. Well, cockfighting is acceptable now by the government everywhere in the country as far as I know. Anything on this world that can able to fight human grab the opportunity and have betting on it, I don't know if that is acceptable.

It is survival of the fittest, that is how they live. Be killed or to kill, if they will not be killing other insects, they will die since that insect wil kill them. It is like we are putting these insects into slavery and letting them fight like gladiators in a stick or a bottle. It may be a cruel representation but that is the closest

I am really surprised how a country can take this kind of gambling as a tradition; well I am glad I come from a country that knows nothing about this type of gambling. It is not as if you are now too old for the game, it is just the invention of new and better games that probably made that one outdated to you.

For me, I will rather stay and not play any games than to play such a despicable game, that’s if we had it in my country at all. Gambling with every other thing is fun, but to gamble with an insect is evil and very irritating, it really doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

If spider and insects bite exist, then there is possibility of having ant bites, but I have never heard about it also. I just know that everything is possible for those who can gamble on anything they lay their hands on. In my opinion, I would say that these ones shouldn’t be categorized as gambling, let’s see it as children game play. Real gambling will not involve these tiny creatures. Like you have suggested sport betting and I can add dice games and other very interesting games, this is gambling for matured minds, that would make one reason very well, not ants or spider.

If you will google worst pain known to mankind from insect bite, you would probably find a video on a bite from an ANT which contains poison that causes alot of pain to its victims.   I guess its because they are so small but somehow very industrious creatures and came up with a big defence mechanism in the jungle.   Bullet ANT (or Paraponera clavata for the latin) I think is the name of the wee beasty.

To me it'd make more sense to bet on people getting bit by the ant then the insects fighting exactly. 

Yes, these days we have many new gambling games which are played online and are lot of more attractive and fun. Insect fight gambling was never famous everywhere and it is only few areas where people showed interest in such type pf gambling. Also, with modern world, the trend of insect fight will almost die soon.

Yes, of course I have been posting also about spider and cock fight betting. This is our culture of the love of betting with the animals or insects that do fight. Recently, there are other fights that has been added and operated illegally. And that is the known dog fight that originated from other countries. Now, it seems that gamblers are having a lot of fun with the variety of betting they could chose from.

However, it is illegal so the fights were being secretly done in an isolated venue.

You have no understanding of the game and truth be told, its actually a noble game and has been since old. This is a game so many of my friends enjoyed as kids, although technology has brought about the invention of more sophisticated games which isn’t a bad idea.

I advise you learn to respect other peoples tradition and never ill things about what gives pleasure. I’ve never gambled with insects, even though I was surrounded with people who liked it, but that doesn’t make me better than those who did. Its just different people with their preferences.

Dog fight is something different.

I don't know why it seems more brutal although it's still the same fight as other insects and animals. I have never bet or watched a dog fight in real life though I'm aware that this is really existing.

Yes I would and I have done it before with spiders back when I was a kid.
It isn't new here in the Philippines but back then I would only bet with another spider not with money.
And also tried it with a hermit crab .

I won't watch that kind of game, dog is special to me and I wouldn't want to see them fighting for their lives for the sake of entertainment and gambling purposes, I do own one and im attached with this pet, imagining that this pet will fight and kill for some money.

I have never heard of insects bet in my entire life and nothing sounds weirder than this. I wouldn’t even let my kids participate in such games because I do not see anything interesting in it. There are better games to be played by kids.

I personally think animals should be left alone to their own world and have fun and it is wrong of animal gambling on animals, that is if this type of gambling exist, because I am not sure and I don’t want to believe it does. Gambling is fun when it is done correctly. Insect gambling cannot looks like a funny child’s play.

As I've said it's something different, we're okay watching insects vs insects.

But when it comes to dog fights, our hearts are melting so quick. With what I've heard, they are fighting till the end and that's sad to hear.

This is not a game of joy because there could be so many shortcommings in the game and lake levels as well. This could be I think transformed into a digital game in which a gambler could access to many crypto options and levels of difficulties. Only then it would be able to attract some users and could get its user base raised. Try to explore areas you enjoy and learn from in the same time.

I think it depends on how much is at stake. But whatever fight it is, be it an insect or spider, still, I wouldn't buy this. I think there are more fun and exciting games to bet on aside from this battle. It's just, I don't think I'd enjoy watching those insects fight. They're so tiny that I wouldn't be able to tell that much that they are injured, or what caused their loss aside from death. They'll only last for a few rounds, one to two maybe. I'm spending my money anyway and I am not sure if I would win a bet or not but I will still prefer to gamble on a game I have actually enjoyed watching and that most people could relate.

These insect and animal fights become popular in some provinces because there are no means for these people to play gambling and they want to explore something new, so they create spider fighting, insect fighting and so many other forms of gambling that involves animals and insects.

I would never bet on something like that.
I mean.. We are trying to get the odds in favor of us not against us. This is totally a stupid bet to make and you should have a strong addiction if you ever bet on that. And apart from that, I only like online gambling games.

I think most of the countries that do insect and other types of animal fighting are countries where gambling mostly originated from. Those days, they liked to have fun and gamble and using this insect and other types of animals was really fun since they had a lot of spectators.

This gambling has become a tradition in some countries and I believe even with the invention of new and better gambling, they still value his gambling type.  In china for example, they have been practicing insect fighting as spectators and this is the same with Vietnam and Thailand. Japanese for example are known for bug’s fights. They are all weird kind of gambling anyway.

Yeah right, after they care of their dogs and feed them raise it as one of important part of their house, then here's the gamblers taking
the dogs life to enjoy betting against each other, it's really a heart melting scene when you see dogs who's fighting for their lives just to
survive and please their takers.

Sad story but this is really indeed happening in real life on having these dog fights tagged up with betting or simply gambling.
This shouldnt really on how to treat up dogs yet we know this is mans bestfriend and a guard on our own beloved homes.
Making them fight to the death or almost beat up wont really be pleasant on most eyes.

Cock-fighting is okay, spider fight is okay. But, this thing, dog fights I don't agree. Chickens are livestock and we don't care what will happen to those since after a fight if that cock lost, then it will be a cooked one. Spider fight is also okay since it's just an insect. But dogs is not okay. Dogs are not livestock and there is a law in killing dogs and cats.

It is kind of hilarious to think betting on insect fight in real life because of its very small size. In addition, these insects happen to look alike so it would be tough to know about which insect (player) are you betting on. But you could transform the idea into an e-game to gamble on. The game could include different sized ants with different sized tentacles and different categories of betting. It could be fun I think.

This still happens in many countries. I was watching a documentary about dog fight and to be honest, in countries where dog fight is banned; there had been great number of spectators gathered for the show. So yes these things still happen. People bet on the animal with huge potential to win.

Often the strongest one. I have not heard about incest fight anywhere in my country. People are moving away from these traditions into online gambling.

Personally, I don’t care what amount of money is involved. If it has anything to do with animal games then count me out. I know that I am desperate to make money   but then I love something I can as well enjoy. I can be very selective when it comes to games and I don’t play any kind of game.

I sincerely see it as a disgust-full game and I have never imagined myself in the midst of its players let alone playing it myself. For now I don’t think there is any game like online gambling, you get to see varieties of games in different casino sites, and I wonder if anyone in this generation would participate in such games.

Betting on an insect fight is just like betting in a sports bet because you are just picking on who's sides are you. The insect fight that i play and bet on is spider fight because i play it when i was a kid, but nowadays it is sad to know that there are only few kids who plays at the outside and catch insects like spiders. However, the only thing that keeps me busy today is investing and trading with cryptocurrencies, and sometimes i also play in my favorite crypto casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/golden-lucky-pigs) that has a lot of casino games like poker, blackjack, baccarat, roulette and video slots, and it also offers great bonuses that attract a lot of new players.

You just do not get the excitement in the game in the first place which is very important for people and keeps them going in the gambling. There will be one fight and the end which is in fact a bad ending. There should be more and more levels of the game and I think this very ides could be used to make a computer game that could attract people to gamble. There could be more levels and different sizes and kinds of ants/bees fighting.

Well it will appeal to some guys' inner boy. We don't have ants like that where I live but kids in the 90s used to play spider matches a lot. Depending on the season, June beetles fights were also a thing.

I think betting on these is fine but there must be a system in place to assure bettors that games are not rigged. Also, insects are easier to switch with each other (an have shorter lifespan) than horses, so how would bettors be sure that's the spider or beetle that they often bet on?

I think horse races seem more reliable for bettors but from an operator's view, insect matches are easier to organize since they can just stream the match from a smaller venue.

Really mate?they play and bet other insects?can't imagine that you will going to win insects in a gamble sounds interesting lol


But still i am waiting for something online that will create this one,though i know this will take a long time to happen

I was never interested in insects as a boy, found them disgusting.  I guess insects matches are much easier for poor people to set up since horses, dogs, and chickens are expensive and you can't really just go find some in the wild.

Ants fighting? Really it is very Laughing subject ever I have seen which is related to gamble. I can not imagine how it will be a gamble ?  ;D ;D ;D If we think about cock fighting and dog fighting even cats fighting is normal but Ants fighting really I can not believe.

Me too. It's my first time to heard about this. I can't believe that this kind of bet is really existing. In my country, we do have cock fighting and that is even legal in our place. But with ants fight, i have never tried playing it even in my childhood years.

I think it is all over for traditional gambling like dog fight, cock fight and maybe insect fight or whatever. The transaction/transportation cost also matters here and it is far better to stay in your safe zone and enjoy online than to participate in gambling that might not be safe or would require you travel from place to place. This is only my point of view and you might disagree.

Yes, I too haven't heard of it earlier. Cock fighting is quite common in more countries. In my country we've got big tournaments where people come with their cocks giving hard practice and separate foods. Insect fights were entirely new and I'm not sure how they'll make the ants fight. Anyhow I'll participate if it gets listed on leading gambling sites.

I don't know if it will get listed on a gambling site hahah but the San Juan ant season is coming!
Maybe I can catch some kid's playing with the ants and get a little video sample. Because, honestly I never thought that this thread would generate so much interaction.

Now this is the first time i am hearing the Dog fight. I have not seen it i am sure it would be a wild bloody fight.  ???
I never favor gambling on living animals fights. There must be some rules which prohibit such wild acts which involves the risk of losing the real life.

Lol, it's funny, is it even that possible? How will people participate from different place? Have you any idea how to manage that? It would be funny to bet on such fight, I would do.

That is indeed a very unusual kind of fight. There should be a magnifying glass, so gamblers can watch the fight.
I heard these ants fight against other ants that belong to different colonies or for food. Maybe the organizers of these events pick ants from different areas and let the ants starve for some time to put them together to fight next.

Even the earthworms my cousin played with disgust me.  :-[

But yes, people would just gather the insects from the fields. This is more a rural pastime that has pretty much disappeared in my area. The "cheapest" combat "sports" men here engage in are cockfights, which is a steep jump of expense compared to spiders.

Now that you mentioned "gathering," I'm wondering if hermit crab matches was ever a thing. If it ever gets in vogue, there'll be a secondary market for pimped up shells, like when there was an hermit crab pet fad in the early 2000s.

Anyone here knows if there were betting on hermit crabs?

Please help share a video because I am more than interested in watching. I have been  on imagination to see how this kind of gambling is done, having a video of it would really be nice to me.

I think it would be fun and interesting and I really believe that is the purpose of gambling, to bring bond , unity and fun between families and communities. I am not from a country where they have insect fighting, but If I am ever opportune to visit these countries, the first thing I would do will be to visit a casino center where this is played so that it can be in my history that I have seen a life insect gambling location and also watched.

Im eager to see this san juan ants as well but i do only see some video clips on youtube on how they do really look like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmdghWPMsa8
and thats a hell of a big ant.Dont know how do fights actually look like.I would love to see some video samples.

Lol very funny indeed, I  honestly keep on wondering the possibility of these, it’s really weird and there is literally nothing gamblers will not play with, well that is fun, it’s possible that the players do not even make so much money from this type of gambling., maybe it’s a way of many players coming together to have fun and I believe that this would really be entertaining.

But one thing that I am skeptical about this type of gambling is that the younger generation from the country this is played might not have so much interest since there are newer and better gambling methods, especially now that  there are more crypto casino sites, and most younger gamblers would prefer this.

That's a perfect question I heard about betting on an insect, but for me it's not that typical insect which we normally see anywhere. I guess this type of insect they mean here was a spider fighting gambling game with many patronizers. This was practiced by people who played gambling bets through animals like cockfighting, and then they discovered using insects like spider fighting conducted by different owners who had their strong spider breeds. I don't actually bet on this kind, but I do played it for fun during my younger days as a little kid living along with my family at the mountain province.

I think it is a useless fight and cannot happen at all. I have not seen it happening anywhere. People cannot participate from far flung areas and it is not possible even to know which fly you are betting on. I thing an online video game version with many different kinds of flies and having different sizes would work and there could be different levels and hurdles in the game which would be fun to gamble at.

During these days, Nah I don't think so. Technology is now getting more advanced and it is in fast pace. It was anticipated that people or let's say bettors, to be more specific, are now less interested on such games. For sure most of them will be more interested betting in MK, Tekken, Street Fighter or other video game competitions rather than this since Gen Z kids can only relate to this lol.

Going back to the question if I will bet on an insect fight?, I may say "Why not" because I think it still fun even though I'm a young adult already; of course I'm interested in everything which involves money :D.

If there's money to be made here, why not gamblers are very creative when it comes on how to make money in gambling, I will not be surprised if they will involve something like a bug, or lizard or anything that gamblers can make a bet and make money, once a children play can become a gamblers playground.

Indeed, it is funny and also it is not possible for people. How could their join this insect game. Actually it is first time when i know about insect fight on live. Before it, i don't know about it, because in my country people don't know about it. That's why it is total strange idea for me.     

This is very common and very popular here in our country, but in recent new here they are forbidding people too do spider fighting which is another common gambling with insects, because some types of spiders are now getting extinct in some area and they don't want that to happen, anyone caught will be charged.

We don't have ants here in our place but we do have spiders fighting with each other, I watched on one popular documentary TV show, that it's a very lucrative business and players are making $500 a week maintaining these spiders and winnings from spider derby, it's very exciting to watch this spiders fight but itis illegal because some spiders can become extinct in the long run.

I have never bet on an insect fight and as for me there is no any strategy to predict the winner in such fight. it's a pure lottery.

Without the possibility of training them, yes, this is just like pure lottery. Maybe I will bet only small amount of extra cash if ever we have one in my area. Winning in this fight is pure luck so there's no logical reason to bet a lot on this.

Gambling is suppose to be fun, if you find betting on insects fine but for me this is something I have never thought of untill now....and this is way to risk if I think about it because these little guys have a mind of their own.

With our matured age these days, i don't see insect fights are entertaining that we need to even gamble with it. It might give fun for kids because they would just play it for fun just like what we are doing with spiders way back in my childhood days. Putting some bets on insects i think is somewhat pitiful because i know they don't live just to fight each other same with cock fighting.

After all, it's unthinkable to bet on insects, this is a game while still a child and they make bets on insects and indeed this is a lottery that cannot be easily predicted. Even though betting on insects is available at a place or whatever it's a gambling place, I'm not sure I will make a bet for insects.

  It is more common with gamblers who are not rich enough to bet more with big amount. Only those gamblers who are playing with small bets will play such games either it is a spider or any other insect. It will result in nothing much big profit or earnings but it is clearly wastage of time. Better a gambler use this time in providing services occur in daily life will even result in clear earnings without any stress.

As i grow older i value the importance of life but for these creatures, they only fight to hunt for foods or to reign for the throne because it is part of their survival. But seeing them play with kids or people to force them to fight and some of them were left for days to starve so that they could fight to the death was a horror imagining they were just being played/controlled by merciless humans.

I would never bet over the fight of Insect. Not only because it is a living thing, but also there is no attraction in seeing an insect fight. I still wonder there are places in the world where insect fight does happen and more surprising to see people betting on these useless fights. :-\

Surely, those who enjoy betting on real animal and insects fight, these are people who have no mercy in them. We should not be cruel to kill the livings things to get pleasure from gambling over them.

Gambling with insects is i think more cruel than gambling with large animals like rooster  . on our place people likes to gamble here using rooster or fighting cocks and its already common to see it everywhere because its legal .  its okay for the chicken to get killed becauss its an edible food but for insects ? Nah  , insects should be preserve because they do add color and beauty to the environment .

Each living organism do have its own purpose into this ecosystem.Its really harsh to look up for insects to be used just for gambling desires but
if these ants arent still endangered or shall we say they are still on millions of numbers and too soon to be instinct then people can still freely
use them yet law isnt implemented about prohibition.

It would make more sense to bet on a colony of ants vs another, then there is a strategy operated by either side.   This also naturally occurs in natural forest settings I think so its not cruel.   Ants operate as a group so makes less sense to have them fight singularly

there are some species of ants that are critically endangered and need to be preserved and those ants are those used for a fight because they are those ants who has the capability to fight for themselves unlike those common ants that we can saw anywhere which is not endangered.

I think its hard to analyze or predict if which one is better to place a bet in a insect fight.  So, I dont think its a good idea to place a bet a inserct fight.

True, especially in some part of Asia in the province its very popular, because no other gambling activities in their place or go to the closer place that they go gamble, except that insect fights. Betting on insect fights is easy to know and you can win instantly, that will not too long.

One of the reasons why insect fighting was created on the first place and i believe regarding on this matter that these gambling type of bets

do start out on provinces on where its too far or not knowing any places to gamble and as a sort of alternative on entertaining theirselves
then they do come out into this idea.

Probably it's more of an entertainment for children but i never see it played by adults.Yes,insect fights are mostly common in provinces wherein children are fond to see spiders fighting but i haven't seen ants fighting.Maybe in some other countries ants fight are being seen but never have seen it in my own country.

What a funny title! Had me cracking up for a few minutes. I personally would fuckin love to see those little shits breaking each other into pieces. The fight could be broken down into further odds like "Lost Legs=1.23" "Neck Break == 2.2" "Draw == 1.2". If it still happens in your area, host a video online and integrate it with a gambling platform lol This bet will need no provable fair mechanisms since you can't bribe those fuckin ants.

I think we are in the same country, dude. It was a time when internet was not still introduced or as high-tech as it is now and people need to find things to entertain themselves and betting on spiders was one of them. Adults really love that and they really search creeks and canals under just to catch the best spider to challenge other ones. Honestly, it was really entertaining but it was just quick and the losing spider became a meal for the spider who won.

I do bet for insect fight.as I remembet when I was at the age of teen ager I do insect fight like a spider fighting.
We bet for small amount of money that can buy candies only.
Ofcourse while playing this the feeling is so happy.shouting,cheering for your insect you use to fight.but no ones have been win because they not truelly fighting.

This is when I was a child but now I think not possible for insect to fight I dont see if theres gonna win.because insect is too small to use for fighting.
If you want to do gambling maybe much better used animals that you will see they truely fighting like an rooster.
This gambling is a popular game that can also promote online.this can make a big gambling and bet for a big money than insect.

It's still like fighting cocks, a smaller version of fighting cocks maybe since insects are involved.
I will still bet on that since you will analyze the insect, you will consider several things on where you will bet, you can consider the size of every ant, their arms or how big their arms/feet.
It's my first to know that there are still fighting insects, since, in our country, we used spiders to fight, just like this: Spider Fight in the Philippines (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSN2D_XFC68).

Well I have done some very crazy betting I had bet on the weather if it would rain or not(with out any forecast) I had bet on roosters fight and although I have to get bet on insect fight I can not rule out the possibilities of it happening

That sounds really crazy thing, I did not try to bet with any insects matches because I am afraid what is the possible thing will cause if they have bitten you since they are very aggressive insects. People will always find ways to bet with any insects or animals that possible they are fighting each other and have match fight. I did not see ant fighting only spiders and scorpions as far as I've known.

I do not know about this lot more but if it was interesting and money making way then I definitely try this after eating your pic I got an idea about the meeting with insects and it had lots more fun involved that's why I think ok I need to go to that place.

Exactly, it is hard and it is unpredictable to judge that which insect is better than other. If anyone have perfect information about insect then he can judge, otherwise, majority of the people have no enough information about insects. Also i don't like to fight with insects or animals for betting wise.

Many people will randomly choose the insect and bet on it. Most of the gambling is done randomly and that's why we call it luck based. The places where Insect fight is common, the betting on them will not stop. If we need to stop the betting on Insect fight, we need to stop the fight first.

Guys it's like those sports that we've known, I only know about spiders fight but you can gather information base on their owners and past recorded fight.

I think this depends since we are doing these when we are just children. It is not the same way you bet on sports or in some games that you usually do since it is like just having fun. Well, in terms of what you are saying, it is true but that is the same in cockfighting, you bet most of the time at a chicken you don't know about unless you bet on someone's fight you know about or your friend maybe.

Cockfighting is known to everyone but insect fights, I don't think so. Spider fight is common to our country, not only kids have played this fight but also for adults, and they bet for a huge amount in every fight. But, this is illegal and we know the consequences of doing this as it is against the law protecting animal life either we got into prison once caught by the authorities or fine for a certain penalty.   

      I can relate what OP mean to be because insect fight like spiders are very popular in my country either child for their fun and some adult for gambling with betting on it fighting on the stick.

I am just amazed in your ant fighting game in your contry. Here in our contry we use spider game once a year we have a game like that(when I was a child) and we bet money sometimes, just a cents. So we did find a good spider for us to win the game it was so fun and really enjoyed it. I love being a child  ;D we can also do this game if we want, we can bet and enjoy it.

Yeah I think we have the same country thinking that spider betting is.known here locally. In fact I have some.spiders kept ready for a match. Spiders will be more tougher if it will be put to its keep for few days and it will just make the insect more hungry for food and ready for a fight.

Some are also using medicine to keep their spiders being tough. Anyway, whats best is that an owner knows how to match the insect to another opponent. There are win rate for thr spiders depending on its colors.

 
It made me laugh a bit. You know it is the game of probability. Bet you would have won the gambling on weather had you seen the weather forecast earlier. Speaking about the original question, I think there is no joy and fun in gambling over the insects because you would not even know which player are yours and which is the opponent.

I haven't heard of ant fights for gambles and bets but it looks cute though.  I usually see spiders fighting which is played by children here in our country.  I also played that when I was a kid.  We hunt spiders with my friends and we put in a match. It can be duel between two spiders but sometimes three to four spiders are fighting in a stick. We sometimes make small bets but we usually do this for fun only. 

Back to the ant fights,  I think I'll enjoy betting in this game, it would be fun to watch these ants fighting each other. But if I were to put bet,  it would only be small amount of money only. 

There is no need to laugh because it is true, betting can be done over any fight, some people do this for animals some for cock fights so the same it is beneficial, betting for insects like spider is very famous in south areas if I ever got the chance I will surely bet for it because recently one of my friend won almost 40k dollar on spider fight.

Agree, becasue it will be very difficult to predict the winner of the game, compare to the our normal game predict. Although those who have been playing this game may have experience on the predicting results, but those who are new to this game will not be able to predict the game. 

Haha. It is a spider game. It is one of the trend during my elementary days. I will bet in case there is only few amount of bet. I think the highest amount I could risk is 1 to 2 dollars. But risking my whole portfolio would be a danger to my trading investment. I prefer to play poker than this game though this is also cool.

If there is actually a bet on fighting the ants,I think the bet would be fun,Because the fate of your bet will be at the mercy of the ant , If a site provides this service, I will certainly bet on the most powerful creature in the planet.

Yes, because we don't know which one will win and it depends on them itself. If the insect is a fighter type, I think that will be the winner, and if not, then he cannot win. Perhaps, the new people need to watch closer to the game, so at least, they can know how to play or choose the right insect as the fighter. Besides that, maybe that will be a strange competition using an insect as a bet, but in some countries, people like to bet on an insect, and yes, they enjoy to gamble with the insect.

There is no sites offering these kind of gamling activity,it is kind of local game which might happen i small group of people where mostly fun is the intention than betting amount and rewards.I didn't faced any insect games and betting on it,I am only encountered cock fighting but still ddn't have the opportunity to watch in the real only saw them on youtube videos. :)

This game is just for fun, I also want to bet on the insect fight. In my country animals or insects are commonly used to bet, the most popular favorite animals are roosters. Chance of win will certainly be difficult to determine because this depends on their strength.

I would not take it seriously and nor watch as well. Just in case if anytime want to do it for fun might end up doing it or else would ignore as it make no sense as such where you do not know anything and might not gain anything as well from it.

Exactly, this game can't give us fun. Actually i am against of this type of games, because it is humiliate the animals and insects. Fighting is not good, we should bet on animals game like we bet on their race, just like horse riding. But i realize in most of the countries people do bet on these type of animals or insects fights, because they are seeing it for a long time.

You really just enjoy watching great,You'll probably have a bet on a cock fight,It will be fun and at the same time fun.
I will also look for the right place to gamble on a cock fight that would be great for a bet,I always love to bet with a little fun.

Honestly I don't like to bet on those games because it is like encouraging brutual games since it involves life of an living thing no matter if it is animal or human.

But good to watch and the tactic they have been using to win the gems looks quite interesting.

I don't know if its real fun but there is no thrill to seeing that fight unless you don't have to use magnifying lense to watch. Spiders is much easy to watch a much bigger insects on the sticks. But instead of counting 3 falls, watching the spiders eat each other will be worth watching. You can see it like who is on top of the food chain among the spider area, I think those in biology will like it more than cockfight.

Are insects to fight large in size? Because in a country I have never done that. And before that there was also the topic of spider battles. And now insects, it's really very curious what type of insect that grows once a year. And actually I also want to see and try to do insect fighting.

It depends on the kind of battle and insects your society likes. Spider battles has also been popular during my childhood and even up now, that kind of tradition and fight is still alive.

I don't know about these but google is our friend.

This thread makes me laugh but I guess people are willing to bet on almost anything.  This is still something I would never participate in because I don't want to see animals suffer.  Especially since they would never fight like this in a ntural habitat.

Yes recently have seen cock fight in my place there were so many people who brought their cock in garden to fix fight, one of them won almost 50k dollar which is huge amount, I am also planning to bet on cock fight which will be profitable and in insects I think spider fight is on trend now a day, so I am gonna invest if I ever got the opportunity.

I don't care what you see but every day you guys are losing your status on doing this. I mean come on really you want to bet on insect flight. I am not complaining that it's a child or anything like that but we already have a lot of popular games and most of the games played on a casino are math based. But fighting depends on more than that such as their life experience and their survival Instinct and a lot more other stuff like that and this makes it not so fair.

It's not, there's only some rural areas which this kinds of gambling exist, but in the wider perceptions it isn't that big for more gamblers to participate,
only those who are in such areas can deal with this gambling activities, and with what you have said your place is not been part of this kind of gambling
and not been able to see how everything works inside it.

My answer is no. It's just the same as cock fighting. Betting on insect fights was just for entertainment before. In our country kids' hunts insects then make them fight with no money involved. Until adults were involved then they start betting on it until it was already a form of gambling.

I have never heard of or seen insect fight, so i have no idea about it. I only know about cock fight and it is a traditional one. Actually, I am against animal cruelty, so not very excited about it.

Two spiders can kill one another but it is not possible for them to eat them because both are equally sized.And also there will be some camera setup to show the gmaes to the spectators or there will be no fun on watching them games and also no one will get interested on it.

I also have seen insect fight on star war stories, as there are so many people who enjoys it even now but I don’t consider it worth earning, in my countries it not that famous, but in some areas I have seen people earning with it, my brother use to earn for betting with cock fight, it is best way to earn for betting on it.

It's the result of people's curiosity if how animals and insects behave when they are in fear and fighting that leads to us getting into the insect fight here in our small town, it's so popular here that many are into this the fearful thing is with so many of these insects caught they might become endangered.

insect will fight no matter if people betting on them or no. It is their instinct and you can't do anything against it. It is part of the wild life, where natural selection choose a strong one.  If some people have a fun out of it - it is up to them. I'm personally wouldn't be interested.

Cock fight happens in our country too but now hardly seen so this is what I have even heard of and might be some countries could have this insect fight and they would be placing their bets on for those games it seems. I stay away from such bets.

cock fight is rare on other countries so as insect fights  . basically if your country supports native gambling such as cockfighting chances are people also know about insect fights  . you should not be afraid of them because they are fully legal on some countries as they are like a  tradition  .  my favorite kind of insect fight is beetle   .  i have won a huge prize of it before  on our town   .

No, I will not they have a functioned in our ecosystem we should let them be and let them do their job, to protect our environment, we have enough kind of gambling online and offline and we should just these kinds of living things to their own as their function is very important to our surroundings.

I have come across cock fights quite often, betting access is available offline. In my locality I have come across cock fights were the betting amount stands as high as $1000. Insect fights weren't that common in my region, those were some traditional games that were found mostly in the village region and were conducted on some traditional occasions.

I was interested in seeing a insect fight but now not so much as I dont think it would be that entertaining
How about a cock fighting BITCOIN sportsbook for those who want to bet on the cocks, Im sure that type of site would be very popular.

Bet with insects i think it's very old-fashioned, now all the popular bets are on the table. Especially if you are familiar with the internet, everyone can bet on the bed by just using their smartphone.

It may also be that in the future these ancient bets will disappear and be replaced with more modern ones. Even in this forum there are various types of bets and gambling games that are easier than having to go to the insect bets.

In my country there are animal bets such as insects, so this bet is very popular in the states of Asia. But now I rarely see bets like this. All have been replaced with cards, dice, and everything is easier.

My mathematician bias tells me that given a couple hundred thousand insect fights, you can use Machine Learning to map out trends

I'm familiar with spider and beetle fights but I don't remember having heard of ant fights before. I'm going to assume this is a somewhat easier sport since ants multiply like crazy, especially when compared to beetles which takes several months to raise to be good enough to duel.


Get to it. Maybe you might make money out of writing an algorithm or whatnot. Of course that would require this game to become popular first.
