I have read a lot of threads the past few days but infortunately I was trying to look upon discussions that talk about cock fighting. Why? because this event is one of the old gambling activities way back and up to present. I do not know if it is known by other country but for sure in Mexico, Spain and Philippines cock fighting is widely spread. Sometimes it is legal but sometimes men operated it illegal.

Does you country know about this cock fight betting?

Never seen cock fighting but if you find a casino that offers betting make sure you post the links.
I think its too violent to watch birds shred each other apart with razor blades.
Same for the dog fights which I have no interest in.

That is very common here in our country cockfighting, they have exclusive cockfighting arena where people allowed to bet and fighting cock inside the arena. But that illegal if you have bet outside in arena because it must be a license area where to fight not in anywhere. Because a lot of people died on a razor blade when accidentally hit even a small wound but it has a poison. But I still love to gamble online to hide my identity.

I've heard there are some certain rules about this kind of gambling which included animals fighting. In some countries, it is not regulated since it is too violent to watch. But for some countries like what OP mentioned, it is being regulated but with certain rules just like i said. I don't know if someone would want to make a betting system about of cockfighting but i think it is best if betted in your own country, idk maybe it is good to put in an online casino?

Cock fighting is a betting game in the Philippines. It is mostly done within rural areas. It is like people's hobby to raise a chicken and then they will get those chicken on a cock fight. If a rooster lose, then it'll be a for a chicken dinner for the owner. Yes, it is violent but, it's different by dog fights since cocks are livestock.

You are right, that very common in the Philippines even big-time people I mean those big politicians their hobby is to gamble in cockfighting.
I don't know if that is cockfighting is having the same rule but as far as I know, when you have defeated from the opponent the chicken will give to them and they will chicken dinner your cock. :D

Here in the Philippines Cock Fighting is just a normal sports game here, I know that some other countries ban this kind of game. The Cock Fighting here is being live telecast in a television channel here. that's why you don't have to go to a Cock Fighting stadium just to bet on the fighting cocks.

I am hearing about this cock gambling for the first time and I don't think it exists in my country. I will said you need to explain more so we can be able to understand how this gambling system works and if possible we should relate it with the type we have now in blockchain technology that makes gambling easier.

It's legal here in the Philippines but every cockfight needs approval from the government or else if could be considered as an illegal cockfight. A lot of gamblers are into it and some of them are betting high which makes the fight more interesting and intense at times. I have no idea if it's legal in some countries but it's a normal game here.

Over the Asian countries it can be seen on the village region. These hasn't got any access in the online gambling. This happens between two cocks tied with nails in the legs in my country. People surrounding the court will place bet on the cock. This is how it is conducted and big tournaments take place in the state level and there are professionals who take care of these cock with separate practice and diets.

Lol. Cockfights are broadcast on a TV? Seriously? Damn. I wonder if Star Sports or ESPN would broadcast such fights.

Am just imagining Floyd CockWeather fighting Manny Cockquio in the stadium and people are placing huge bets on these fights and are going crazy. ;D

I think you misunderstand it, I believe cock here is chicken. It is traditional game in my country although it is illegal but there are still many people doing this in a hidden place to avoid getting caught by the police.
For your references what is cockfighting https://www.aspca.org/animal-cruelty/other-animal-issues/cockfighting

It's not popular in the EU. France banned cock fighting long ago and a few years back some people went to court against the ban and lost. Many countries don't have laws banning cock fighting in particular but they have laws against animal cruelty so if you organize the fights you can be fined if the court decides that there was cruelty involved.
It's the same with dog fights. In most countries they are already banned.

yes i do heard of it  . its mostly available on asian countries like the ones that you listed above  .  its a kind of gambling and gambling can be legal or illegal .  its legal if the owners have a permit from the local government and if its backed by big people ( ex. police , politicians , etc )  but it can be illegal if they dont have a permit to operate and if they dont have a protector  . 

 this kind of gambling can mainly bee seen offline  .its a good idea if gambing owners will port it in the online world so that newer generation can experience it 

Im fully aware with this gambling type on where these kind of events do usually happen on fiestas and other occasions even on a normal day.There are cock fighting arena
that do openly operate or shall we say that they are legal but you are correct that there are ones which do operates illegally which do mostly happens on remote places.
I cant deny that this thing is really interesting to watch, some might say its animal cruelty but this is already a common gambling genre in some countries.

Chicken fighting is very popular in Asia because it has been around for a long time and now chicken fighting is used as an object of gambling to take advantage, indeed it is very sadistic for me where animals are treated like that, but some countries disagree with chicken fighting or are very opposed, sadistic and made an object of gambling, not good if learned in common sense, I am not very supportive of such games.

I know rooster fighting.  ;D

Well, this could work in online betting but the problem is looking for how the rooster was being taken care of.
I mean it needs practice also and vitamins for its body to take shots with that knife like in their feet.
If we dont have histories of it then it will just be the same as dicing or betting in 50-50 fights.
You cannot look at just the physical body of a rooster for they are covered with feathers.

But, I would want to try if there is one.

Yes, its a local gambling sport in the country that are held even legally. There are even some small betting games happened within some small places whenever there are people who wants to bet on it. Its kind of a traditional betting game in the country. Sadly, it become illegal although a lot of people play it because of the interest of the gambling house that are not claimed by the unauthorized game play.

Where you can bet online about the cockfighting? 
Well, those are the legal way of cockfighting but usually gamblers play here in our vacant lot which is there place of gambling but sometimes there’s a police who come to destroy the fun and since its illegal, they have to run from that place just to avoid being caught. 

Cock fighting is so exciting and fun games here in my country even in the street people are making fight to practice the rooster it's called stamina.

Yes, I was exposed to cock fighting when I was still a little. However, it looks like in the last 10 years, I haven't got to chance to bet on cock fighting or even going to cock fighting arena.

But I still have lots of neighbors who raises their own cock fighters and then go to big coliseum and enter their cocks for a 3 or 5 cock derby.

I still remember when me and my buddies will go out early from the office and go to cock fighting arena and gamble.

Cock fighting is very common here in the Philippines since it is already part of the economy. It's already a big business that even politicians and big businessmen are into it. Manny Pacquiao, a current senator even own a game cock farm in his province but he already quit this business. This is a bloody sport that foreigners thought that this is disgusting and should be ban. But to a ordinary Filipino who engage in this, to see blood spurt from his/opponents bird is a common sight and he is used to it.

Good stress reliever for a whole day's work buddy  :) but you have to spend a few hundred of pesos if unlucky though.

The answer is Yes, it's a well known gambling from where am I, cockfighting is really addicting as many of my neighbors really engaged with this type of gambling, they will raised their cocks and give all the necessary medicines/vitamins in order to have greater chances to win, most of the time owners
do have lots of money for their cocks than for their own families, sad but true.

Cock fighting was once a very popular activity in our country too but with the passage of time it is decreasing and losing popularity. Maybe because we have many new interesting casino and betting games that now no one is interested in cock fighting.

I am expecting a lot of people from our country to post here.

Cockfighting, in our country we usually call it Sabong. It is so damn popular in our country that even an 8 or 9 years old are taking care of their own roosters that they can use to fight. There are regulations about it in our place and I am sure to other places in our country but illegal or legal, they are still making ways to cockfight.

In my country the cock fighting is illegal and all type of gambling is illegal, but there are bunch of people still do this activity, and this gambling is not fun to watch, the cock bleed everywhere and the feather is falling off, in the rural area this gambling is quite famous and people still gambling secretly

It is sort of a native sport in my country. People bet on them big-time. There are even arenas for these matches. I've even seen training centers shown on TV. No wonder people here went crazy for boxing when it was introduced.

Here in the Philippines, We also know how to play cock fighting betting because most pilipinos in the province have a pet roosters and they always bet for them to have a good easy earned money. I have tried playing cock fighting betting and it is really entertaining, but there are some roosters who are not good to watch or boring to watch, that is why i mostly play in a trusted and famous online casino which is "vegas casino (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/peter%27s-universe?utm_source=ccpu)" who also supports blockchain technology and accepts bitcoin as payment that you can play poker, baccarat, blackjack and slots.

You are right cock fight betting is one of the traditional game in the Philippines, that is why most old people play this game in the Philippines.

I know about this game but I don't love this much.
I grow up my parents, uncles and close relatives are going to a cock fighting house every Sunday to bet, but they never influence me.

Maybe if there is an online betting for cock fighting, I might begin to love this.

Yes, it' mostly carried out in the village areas where there are no casinos or other means to gamble except cards of course. This is not really that evident in 2019 since I believe it's a medieval sport I guess. It would be awesome to see an online version of that game where you rank-up your cocks and fight other players for BTC.

Hey it’s not there in my country and I’m happy it’s not there, as it’s a violent sport and I feel it should be banned with immediate effect. I feel such kind of sports are very bad, and watching birds kill each other for our fun is not good for humanity. Also no online casino will ever offer you bets on this sport, as it’s not possible for them to keep track of those birds fighting.

I am happy to read the positive replies in my thread. As it also interest other users on how to bet during a cock fight. Yes, for those who do not know how it works, these cocks will wear sharp long blades in their feet.and this wi kill it foe. And for the win, this is how it works.

the cock that will stand still or the referee will hold the chickens for pecking each other 3x times and if the enemy cock has no response then that would be declare as win.

If both cock dies or does not peck, draw

betting can be arranged if the cock of other side has seen greater advantage especially in size, color and its breeding line during the betting before the fight.

10-7 -usually when one cock has the advantage of the other. Your bet will win 70% of your bet if you go with 10-7. Your 10 will win 7 if you bet on the cock that is more advantage and you will going to know that cock has an advantage due to the numbers of bet for that cock.

But, your your bet also could win up to 130% if you are in 7-10. Your 7-will win 10. But you bet a cock that is being left behind by choice of many.

Well, whatever it is. What make sense here or a lesson is the ability to predict and get lucky on betting. I do agree that it is better to play online casino betting. But, if this gambling activity will be introduce then this is just like sports betting or shall I say Cock betting.

It made as illegal in most of the countries including mine but it still can be seen on some places.I am not a fan of those kind of betting which is kind of violent towards other living organisms.

Finally someone writing with common sense and without fanatism. Some people might like it sure but this is an awful practice and both sides of the history should be heard here.

I do like the countries where it isn't legal and law is enforced right when someone do it. I would never bet in such things. Raising animals to suffer and die only for "fun" is not so fun from my point of view and where is the humanity in that practice? - We are supposed to be the rational ones.

If you are in South East Asian country, most likely cock fighting is legal specially in the Philippines but it is held in cock fighting arena. This is allowed by the government here though there are occasions where people in the villages held cockfighting without permits, that is the illegal one. This kind of gambling may not be fun to some as it is bloody but the that is the only way to win, kill the opponents bird.


Then you would not like our country bud. The government allowed it and it is even a tourist attraction here. Fighting cock are born to fight. In the wild, whenever they meet they fight until death or which one run. People from around the world have different view on this cockfighting but this is our culture, you may not like it but you have to dig the history why we have it here before judging us.

picture taken from the internet

I have personally witnessed and attended a legal tournament held in one of our main concert arena in the Philippines about cock fighting. The funny thing is, there is also a televised live channel in our local cable provider for cock fighting. Back when I was still a kid, both my grand father and my father used to own a farm specifically for breeding cock fighters in our province.

My dad used to participate in tournaments and win enormous amount of cash. But he finally moved-on from his gambling addiction towards improvement of his life. Cock fighting in general is a multi-factorial type of gambling. Sure, luck still plays a role but it also depends on the breed of the chicken, its bloodline (if it came from a family of fighters- like what they said), its technique and training.

If you guys have any questions about cock fighting in general, I will happily provide you with some answers!

It was very popular in Indonesia, but since the government became stricter to gambling activity then this rooster fighting became very rare to find. I believe there are still many people doing this, as I used to do this gambling to be honest. I still have some roosters and sometime some of my neighbors ask me for fighting our roosters but with no money involved, just to test how strong our roosters are.

Lol, they are not born to fight, but they have characteristics that to fight they're the same gender(rooster).
That is very known here in our country, but I don't have interest in that betting game so crowded people shouting and I don't like it.
Indeed, that betting game highly has a chance to win because you only have two options.

in some Asian countries still doing this, and my father also did the same thing, he had rooster, and every night he gave a supplement to his cock so that he could compete manly the next day, but for me it was a pity, because that rooster is bleeding because of that

Yes, in my country, cockfight betting was prohibited, but it seems people don't care about this because they still do that in the secret places and only a few people who know about that. But I never bet for that because I feel it's a pity if we use the animal for betting. It is better to bet for the other games.
But I don't know with the other people in my country, and maybe they still bet on that. Sometimes I watch television about the arresting those gamblers because it's prohibited.

Yeah there were some news regarding to this to which a father can support vitamins for the rooster but for his kid could not. So, the kid got jelous and instead scolding his father about it, the kid just talk to the chicken stating that the chickens does love by his father and not his.kids. The kid even emphasizing about how she had not.given anything to eat and vitamins but for the chicken his father had. The video became viral and get many reactions among netuzens.

Yes, cock fighting may be legal or illegal either but there is no prohibition on raising cocks. So, there is no problem about it.

Rooster has natural fighting ehavious because of their mating habits,if they want to mate with a femal hen then it need to show its strength to attract and dominate female but the people used this for to make money for themselves.There are lot of crucial rules are there in these betting and it is not an easy game as well,need years of expereince for the cock and also rider.

Just did a Google search on that words.  The top search results were youtube links. There is very little information about the gambling aside on YouTube ..

Well, what I found on the top YouTube video  was very shameful and annoying. Probably why most countries do not participate in such activity..
Teaching animals violence and altering their normal way of life is lawlessness.

it's an ancient games that's been inherit from the old days, a practice where some asian people loves to bet from those fighting cock that's been
raised by different people around, it's a game of chances since both owners doesn't have any idea about each others fighting cock, they will rely
with how they game will ends sadly most of the time one of those two fighting birds will die after.

All animals have natural tools in order to defend itself.  Domesticated animals have less but they are still there.  I would never condone betting on animal fights but cock fighting is thought as normal in Mexico and other asian countries.  Just as people in United States think eating dog is terribly wrong but its done in other countries.  Also these cocks have a good life up until their fight, much better than the animals living in factory farms.

My country still uses cockfighting gambling illegal but still done in stealth betting, especially in my bucolic the gambling is still crowded and thing the most interesting that even though it has been expelled by the police the gambling cockfight will always return and it will continue.

Too crowded and Too noisy,this is the primary thing i do observe when i do visit these kind of events (cock fights) but eventually this crowd do makes this
gambling be more entertaining not only on those battle cocks alone but also the ambiance of the surrounding which do makes more thrilling and exciting.

These things may not be suitable for many people,When someone from a developed country watches these games will get a thought what a stupidity is it.

But on some tradition it still used to play for pride but the real thing is it made into illegal in many countires.

Here in India, cock fighting is banned by law and anyone caught conducting such tournaments can face jail-time in addition to huge monetary fines. Even then, cock fighting is very poplar in the tribal areas, especially among the middle-aged and the elderly.

betting with something is also common and it will doing in lots of countries and there is no new things are in in this but there will be lots of people interested about these type of betting and it is also fun and entertainment way of betting.

I see some videos about this type of painting and it about the fighting between two cocks and there will be some interesting factors are also going so I think it is not illegal in any but if it is illegal we don't know how to handle this.

Even I don't know anyone legalized the gamble for the cock fight. In my country all types of bets are illegal but even so there are still many traditional bets like gambling rooster and many have been dissolved by the authorities. Legal or illegal gambling with any type of gambling will definitely occur, because this has become like a hobby or even a custom that is carried out continuously.

I think there is nothing illegal in it if the fight between two animals are bats will be like they were putting some training for the betting so it cannot be illegal for my opinion and it is also not the fun and interesting betting way.

There would really be those illegal or underground/hidden gambling places if such country do restrict out gambling.People would find ways to play but in return or exchange they are risking themselves to go into prison.

Country do have specific laws about gambling neither they do completely ban it or would just simply allow but not tolerating these activities.

I could tell you bud that even if you got to choose between two cocks still it is very hard to win in a cockfighting event. Luck is a factor in this event though you got to also have a good quality bird. The scenario in a cockfighting arena is crowded but it is the crowd that makes the ambiance of the arena entertaining and i could tell you that it is a gentleman's sport. You don't have to sign contract to bet, just hand signals and you're good to go.

There is luck and there is an eye for good birds. There are some qualities of the birds that will tell you that they are winners. And it is easy to spot for the trained eyes. That gives you a higher chance to win.

I also like the ambiance inside cockpits. The noise of bettors gives more excitement to the game. It is a shame in other countries they cannot experience the excitement that cock fighting gives.

The thing with cockfighting is usually the black guys are packing ibgger cocks while asians  have the small ones so its not a very fair fight.

Well if you always want to get a good return then definitely you should go with the "underdogs' or the "dehado",  ;D. Or you can factor where the cock came from, the breed and even where farm it was raised. Yes, if you have been to the most crowded but high level coliseum like Roligon mega cockfit in Paranaque or Pasay cockpit or even in Sta Ana before then you will enjoy this kind of sports. So I don't know if you guys have been in that kind of arena, but in my years of gambling, I was once addicted to cock fighting as well.  ;D.

@Privcy Foundation - usually fighter cocks are being weigh-in, just like in UFC or boxing, so there will be no mismatch in term of who is bigger or not.

Yes, of course, my country knows about cock fighting betting. Our village is always playing cock fighting. Many people bet on this cock fighting game. cock fighting game was already in our country long ago. This is a very popular game in our country. I always bet in cock fighting game. I have occasionally fought with my own cock. And bet on my own cock. Everyone in our country is betting on Cock fighting game. Because it's a very popular game.

Thank you

Yes, I know that game, but I never play with them because I think it's prohibited here. I heard from my friends that it's very popular in one village and many people betting on that and some of them can make a lot of money. But I never see by myself how the game will be played because it's too far from my home, so I don't know how to join in the betting.

Better to keep that way, this type of gambling which been enjoyed in several rural locations and most of the time being played illegally, so keeping
yourself away will save you from being trapped inside, chances being caught since you don't have any idea about how things works inside this
gambling activity, be very careful.

Same here . cockighting on our city is also illegal but not just cockfighting because almost any kinds of gambling such as card based games , slots , coin games and board games ( the one that are being played on the streets ) all of those are few of the gambling games that are being prohibited  .  its better if we can stay away from them because if ever they caught , you can be also caught  even if you say that you are not playing  . 

Kinda expected a comment like that to show up here. Yeah the breed is bred for fighting and they are more aggressive than the usual farm cocks, and that's saying much. Releasing them into the wild is like releasing silkmoths.

The reason the practice is maintained is the same way as bullfighting in Spain. I sure prefer that the matches be made in official locations though so the fight can be broken up when needed. I mean, we don't allow boxer's do just die in the ring.

Cockfighting were popular on thailand even if i'm not mistaken at there this kind of gambling was legal and cockfighting became an traditions to test their farms and if the particular farms won then it will increase their farms reputations but for some countries this obviously forbidden because included in the category of animal torture and animal activists always be against this

I am absolutely in support of making cock fighting illegal, I can just imagine the suffering they make this animals go through all in the name if gambling. I thought gambling is for entertainment, then what is entertaining about seeing two animals fight to extent of seeing them bleed and having their feathers fall off ?

I am sure I was still young when the game was on in my country because I have never witnessed it and I don’t even think it’s a game I will like to watch because I am a lover of animals. I love gambling but I prefer more of online gambling and I can’t imagine living in your country where it is illegal. How do you guys live there?

I've heard, seen and read about cock fighting. It is absolutely illegal here in the UK and thank goodness for that.  Frankly speaking, its babaric IMO, pitting helpless cocks against each other all for the cheap fun of some.  I'm totally against any/all kinds of animal fight games for the fun of humans.  To me, its the same or at least similar category as those who kill animals (GAME) for the fun of it.

It is illegal in my country but still their are cock fighting going on on  private illegal way, as this is the animal fighting which is very harmfull to this animals so it is not good to bet on this type of gambling.

I am not sure at all about this game. I have heard this games was there once in my city long time back but now it is not all in use or local betting. I have heard that people are expecting the horse racing and these kind of games to gamble but this is not at all worth to invest and gamble.
Various outdoor and indoor sports available to bet and make money then cock fight games ;)

I THINk this ain’t the right time to tackle abiut cockfighting here in crypto because what we have here are those gambling that known worldwide and not some local gamblngs
But i am sure in future this will be added to the games from this gambling

Here in Germany its nearly impossible to find cock fights.
But its well known but i guess its more popular in Asia then Europe.


regards

Yes, I come from India. Cock fight betting is considered illegal but, Tamilnadu and Andhrapradesh States are popular for its cock fights. I am not sure about the legal aspects of this betting. People love to bid on their favorite cock, they specially train their rooster for the fight. I were in Tamilnadu for four years but I never had a chance to see the fight personally except in movies.

I think that Spaniards were the people to influence us with cock fighting. Yes in the Philippines, cock fighting is a common betting game in my country. There's even a TV network that broadcast cockfights.

Cock fighting is legal on my country. There is a designated place for them to bet or watch cock fighting. It only became illegal if they are doing it in area which is not designated for that purpose. My father in law have lots of breeds of this kind of animal. Cant wait for someone to develop crypto base cock fighting site.

Yes, its also illegal here in my place especially if you don’t have license to operate. Though its harmful but I think its profitable as always, and that is why many gamblers still want to play. Money is the main reason, i tried to bet on this before and I can say everyone wants to win, and its super intense.

Cockfighting betting is already legal in my own country and you will see a lot of people either rich or average engaged in cockfighting. This activity has already existing even a hundred years ago which is played by our ancients and even at the present cockfighting is still played in some legal areas.

Cock fighting is exciting to watch but dog fighting is a lot more exciting.  Dogs really love to go at it and fight to the death, its still very popular you just have to know where these things go on.

Yes, in my country is legal and its very popular on little towns.

Here if you want to make a cock fighting event with betting allowed you just need to get the permission via a request to the government and its very easy... They will ask for ID's of the representative who will act as responsible in the event, of course a payment and a document certified by a public notary that proves ownership or legal possession of the property that the cock fighting will be installed.

I’ve never seen anything of such here in my country, I know of different types of gambling that exist here but cock fighting is definitely not one of them and I must confess that am hearing of this for the first time lol. It’s possible that an old gambling method and there are better versions by now, just saying though.

I do more of online gambling and I know barely little about traditional gambling. Online gambling keeps my identity and makes me gamble more securely and confidentially.  I have a lot of friends who do not even have an idea if I gamble, there are just sometimes I make a lot of money from gambling and I just tell them I got a job that paid me and that’s just how I like it.

And it concerns not only fighting cocks. Cocks in general are pugnacious by nature. Even though the most bully ones are regularly killed in farms, there are always those who want to fight. I mean they shouldn't be there because of the selective breeding, and yet you can see regular cocks(not fighting ones) pecking each other to death almost on any farm.



No one's judging you, mate, and no one should. In regard to cruelty against animals, I can see no difference between cock fighting and horse racing, for example.

Yes and some of my friends are addicted to it ,
One of my friends won a huge amount because of it .
I don't really know how to choose where to bet since I don't like rooster I only love chicken once they are fried  :D .

Yes my country knows about cock fighting but i think it's not widespread as it used to be, but even though there are times a cock fight is aired on tv, not the top tv channels but the small ones are airing it.

Nah, it's indigenous to Southeast Asia and some areas of India. This is also the area where the chicken originated (plus Southern China) anyway so it makes sense that chickens would form a part of the culture. The Spanish visiting the Philippines observed the natives doing cockfights. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/42884/42884-h/42884-h.htm

The Spanish introducing it is a common misconception. They prefer playing with bulls rather than little birds. Sorry to budge in this thread again but I had to reply when I saw your comment.

Yeah, i heard about it, but i never seen cock fighting with my own eyes, the reason cock fighting betting is in my country, only play village area, not in develop areas. Actually in my country i realize uneducated people betting on it, and in my village side mostly people are betting on it. But personally i don't like it.

We joined a cockfight last week and sadly our two cock lost. If there's a legal online betting using crypto for cockfighting, I guess I'd love it more than dice. It's way entertaining especially if you won.

Maybe i'm a gambler but that's something I don't want to bet on or even watch. I can't stand watching dogs fighting. It's different for me, maybe because dog is considered as man's best friend.

My government are really tight about gambling and for cock fighting case, they are not tolerate !
When someone report the area for cock gambling, the police will be chase it for sure because they gamble on the spot.

But if they are using crypto as transaction, it's more difficult to be trace out

Dogs are just another animal like chickens, don't be one of those crazy animal people that plays favorite towards certain animals. 

If your in favor of cock fighting you should also be fine with dog fighting.

Unfortunately this isn't a popular sport around here
and despite Seeing this on one of the top crypto sportsbooks, i thought nobody pays attention or wagers on such games, but reading the comments here it seems this is becoming a big sport or maybe already is a big sport.

animals fighting to death, i don't think that's fun to watch.

I just wonder what animal rights group could say about this ::)

I am hearing this for the first time (on this section and elsewhere) too.
I have heard of dog fighting which I guess is a form of gambling too.

 This kind of thing should be banned and those who play them  put in jail

Gamblers always find ways to gamble their money, so not only cockfighting just every possible fights including dog fighting, it's an illegal act
where dog breeders are the one who's responsible mostly of this fight, same thing with cockfighting the result will favored the animal that will
survived against it's rivals.

You do have the point because not all countries would really be similar when it comes to laws,standards of living,culture etc. They might see these cockfighting gambling
would be stupid or animal cruelty but there would be always a place where these things are considered to be played.As long it isnt fully banned or prohibited then it isnt really a problem but
the sad fact that there are really some illegal operators yet they know that they can gain some big profits into this.

Well cockfighting in my country is considered legal.You can see a lot of big politicians or even the poor ones in cockfighting site.Even my father is totally hooked with it.But i see no bad reason playing that as long as you are not in an illegal place and gamblers have understood their limits.

Aside from Basketball this is one of those that men here in the Philippines knows how to play and some are addicted to this. Big event lasts for 5 days and it is held in big domes like here in the Philippines the Araneta Coliseum but most of the time it is held in small arenas. You will be surprissed that even in the streets they play this.

I think it is better to stay clear off he game for the main time since you are already aware that it is not legal, don’t let the money involved be so tempting to you and coupled with the fact you know barely little about the game so it might not be your kind of game, it is better you leave it for the players.

I have visited and seen where it is been played and I must admit that it can be so interesting, although I have not participated but I just like to watch and considering that the place it’s been played is far from your home. I think it’s better to always gamble not far away from home for security reasons.

Oh wow, a channel actually broadcast it.  Does this mean that it is actually legal?  I ask simply out of curiosity.

yes, if it's illegal the channel wouldn't broadcast it or else police will make a move on them and arrest the people participating in illegal gambling.

What country is that ?  Yes, it is an ancient gambling and it is more common with Asian countries.  If you are from this Asian countries, it is possible you where still much more younger when the game was still very common. Because it was a game that in those days are aired on local TV stations, that is to show how famous it was then. But, it is not as common as it was back then and its more practiced in the rural areas.

Online gambling has taken over and I doubt if there are still young ones like us who would participate in all this type of gambling if it was even still existing, but it was truly  fun for the old people. So many people celebrate it like it was an event and that is actually what gambling is meant to be, that’s entertainment.

Cock fighting  game is one of the most interesting gambling game for some people in my country. I remember how some people buy cocks and rare just to prepare them for this game.  I think the sight of seeing how cocks fight without   any given up is what made it a viral and interesting gambling .

I personally haven’t participated in this gambling because it looks to me like it is mainly for older people, because of how much my dad likes it. He even buys cocks yearly to rare ahead for the game .

I am sure many would participate in it if it could be introduced into online gambling because the number of people that play this game in my country is quite high, both the rich and poor and it has a way of bringing everyone together.

In the past in my country dog fight was popular but if you are caught doing it you go straight to prison and for a long time.The same applies for cock fighting too and any other animal related violence.

No, I did not hear about cock fighting gambling. And maybe my country also is not familiar with cock fighting because my country also aware of gambling. it is right that I heard about cock fighting game but not sure it is the same [cock fighting gambling] game or not.

Honestly I have never heard about this kind of fights taking place in my country but that's probably because they are hidden from the public since they are illegal. Anyway, they aren't popular at all in my country and I've only see them in movies. And it's not only about cock fighting, there also exist dog fighting.

It is quite interesting. Some people would like to view these events as an expression of tradition and culture. But for some people it represents cruelty towards the animals. A few years back, the supreme court of India banned a sport called Jallikattu (South Indian equivalent of bull fighting). But the South Indian groups protested against the ban and eventually the government had to legalize it.

Yes it's very popular here in the Philippines and very much legal, every Sunday or holiday people are flocking to the venues where cockfighting is being held, and they made so much noise when they are betting to their favorite cocks, game can be over in less than a minute because both cocks had in their two legs a sharp small knife love watching this fight but seldom made a bet.

It's legal here but should be regulated. Same with other gambling, it was prohibited to do it on the streets just for fun although at some cases, there are few who still doing it.  Im just few kilometers away in one of the popular official cockpit arena here.

Damn. This kind of gambling needs tons of money. Starting from raising a chick, maintaining health, regular checkup, expensive foods, boosters, shelters, clean environment. That's why it was a heartbreaking experience to an owner if they lose. Losing chicken will be given to the winners and you know what's next.

Yes. Not just cockfights but some guides and tips how to raised a fighting cock.

Going back to crypto, haven't seen a crypto gambling site offering a bet for cockfighting.

It will be a wonderful experienced since it's quiet confusing and difficult to placed a bet on a physical match.

This a silly argument.
 Male chickens fight to attack or in defense, for their own interest just like humans. Cock gamblers are playing this for their own selfish interest not the birds interest. Moreover you don't provoke animals or humans to battle. It is  immoral and criminal. The government that allows this probably needs to be overthrown

To my understanding, my country knows nothing about the cock fighting betting becasue it has never be done in the country. Can't imagine such a thing happening in my country because there are several games here that attract gamblers to bet and not this sort of game bet.

..cock fighting betting is very popular and very chronic here in our country..actually my father is an avid fan of cock fighting and he always bets whenever there is a cock fight in our area..this form of gambling here in our country is legal,and many people patronizing this kind of gambling..surely you will win a lot and gain a big profit when the cock you bet wins the fight..

I think this question should be if cock fighting gambling originated from my country. The kind of love my country particularly has for this gambling is out of this world. People buy cocks and prepare them for the right time for the game, it is well attended by both the middle and high   people of the society.

There was a time I learnt the game was banned, don’t know the reason for that, maybe because of those animal lover who felt the cocks were been maltreated, no one even obeyed. It was still played at some centers like there was no ban on it at all. And I understand people make a lot of money from this gambling, although it can truly be interesting watching the game.

Lol you sound really very funny.  What country is that and what do you think could be behind the high level of love for the game. Is it because of the money they make from it or they just enjoy to see animals suffer.
I have personally never been in a scene where the game is been played but I have watched it a couple of times on TV and I feel those participants of the game are been cruel, maybe because I am also a lover of animals and if I have the power to ban, I would ban the game lol.

I bet we are from the same country or from the country you mentioned. Cock fighting is very rampant in my place specially in provinces. There are arenas for this game but there are also those that are doing it by themselves somewhere else which is illegal or have no permit from the city. It’s too bloody. I can’t stand watching 2 cocks killing each other bleeding until their last breath. Animal brutality but a lot of men love this game because there are only 2 options to bet from and the chances of winning is better than other games.

this kind of gambling is really popular in the Philippines and I already seen a lot of people who are taking care a plenty of Rooster and then taking it to the cock fighting arena like they are undergoing a boxing fight. this is very widespread especially in the provincial areas and most of them are not legally operating.

Indeed mate and sometimes they took care of those chickens as family members,with vitamins and foods shelters and if they can put some clothings i think they will do lol

But this was illegally operated thats why many of the place are being raid from time to time by authority

Same as me too, have never heard of these type of fight between animals and the love of my country to animals will not allow animals to fight in the interest of the people becasue these animals will not have a share from the winnings rather the greedy humans. If such a thing happen in my country, such group or individual will be arrested for crime against animals.

We allow the fight between animals depending on the event. Some event allow Dog fight and Ram(He-goat) fight. The most interesting part of these games are, one must die or badly injure before the judges will separate the fight, and the way the fight stop will amaze you if you are just a visitor to the even.

There is something wrong in me, for sure.

I mean it is normal for me to see a fight between two roosters in a field, I even cheer and bet on it but when I see other animals fighting amd people bet on it, I see it as a shameful thing. I mean roosters are the same with those animals but I am betting on it. One time I knew about dog fighting and I feel guilty to the dogs fighting and I never ever thought the same about roosters.

In some countries the ban was imposed, it was inseparable from the contribution of animal lovers, but in my opinion what has become a tradition in an area will not be eliminated, and it is also a tradition in my village, and it is very tense and fun #imo

Such practises are not legal in my country nor have I ever heard anyone making bets on cock fighting. We do have bullfighting though. But it is not the bullfighting we know from Spain or Mexico. In Eastern Europe bulls don't fight till the end, and they are not as aggressive as we see on TV. It is one bull against another bull and as soon as one turns his back and starts running or falls down the fight is over. The owners step in and they get separated.

What happens deep in the forests or in isolated rural ares is hard to know.

In my country, all type of gambling is illegal. Especially if offline gambling. But cock fight already famous, usually a lot of man go to a place that they bet for their cock. But it is not really good for that animal itself for me.

Im well aware yet i have the experience on going to these kind of places.There are cock owners which are composed of wealthy man down to ordinary citizens but majority of people on the fight arena is more on speculators.Talking about on gamblers limits then theres no such thing for them to be stopped.They have the money to spent or bet so going all in would just be a common thing.

This is what I do not understand with gamblers. Why do they go to illegal cock fights when there is obviously an arena in every town in the Philippines? And you do not pay entrance fees if you bring a fighting cock with you. I go to cock fights but only on legal ones. I do not want to be arrested on illegal cock fights, too risky.

People do have beliefs, those who play outside the arena feels more excited when playing without any permits, it's adding the fun and when the police raiding the site most of the gamblers will run out and find the safe getaway, most of the time gamblers who did this act are neighbors or someone who
have a close interactions and decide to meet inside a place where they can establish the fight.

Your right in the Philippines have a lot of place who offer cock fightigng and Im sacred to enter this because sometimes the police caught who play cock fighting and all of the people inside of the cock fighting place. I think it will be illegal if they don't have any permit and it will turn to legal if the owner pay paermit and any documents needed. We know Pacman are addict before in Cock fighting but now he changed already and not play again.

Exactly what do you mean mate because if the game is legal and have complete document to operate cock fighting no reason the police to caught people inside the cock house.

Oh yes, cock fighting betting is also available in my country but it's illegal here. That's why they usually do this gambling only in village and some secret place, so the police will not know.

I personally never betting on cock fighting in real life, because i'm afraid to the police lol.

Although cock-fighting is not very common in Nepal, I have seen unorganized events being conducted along the Indo-Nepal border regions such as Kharibari and Naxalbari. These events are very common among tribes-people from Jharkhand, such as Santal and Oraon. Normally police turns a blind-eye, unless someone gets hurt in disputes. I never developed a taste for it, as it involves too much violence. They tie sharp blades to the legs of the cocks and let them fight until one (or both) of them dies.

Cock fighting much like dog fighting is illegal. As a matter of fact a huge ring of underground dog fighting criminals were busted a couple of months ago and some dogs were freed. I don't condone animal fighting let humans mutilate each other in MMA and boxing etc.

The game is popular in your country because it is accepted, it is a game that is highly loved by many and the few countries where its declared illegal, you will still find citizens that secretly play it. Well that is by the way. I think your father is a great gambler and a business mogul as well, and I hope you took that from him, not necessarily cockfighting type of gambling. There are many  better online type of gambling this days that fits us in this generation.

I may be wrong, but from my point of view it is a bit hypocritical when people eat meat, wear leather clothes, go to circuses where, it's a fact, tamers torture animals, with their kids, and at the same time oppose dog fighting, corrida, cock fighting and such. I think that person must be consistent in his/her actions. You either go vegan or stfu.

But even vegans are hypocrites, if you ask me. But that is entirely different topic.

Killing an animal for food purposes can be justified. Because it is natural and we are not going against the nature. But how can you justify forcing animals to fight until their death, just for our entertainment? I am more or less neutral on this, because events such as bull-fighting are integral to some cultures. So it is not right to ban them. But at the same time, my personal opinion is against such sports.

in my country the cock fighting it's illegal but in my city, the cock fighting happen every week
they usually make a bet, and usually the police join the bet too
sometimes the total bet i see in there like 200~1000 usd

I believe that cockfighting is originated from.Mexico if my memory still right as this was being tackled when i was in secondary grade.this gambling is very popular in asian countries now and being popularized that even celebrity's are playing this.and the most popular person that involved with this in past is Manny pacquiao but since he was a Christian now he quit all the vices he has .never come to bet for this but once i was invited by a friend to watch a Cockfighting Derby in which the game is for millionaire (ofcourse i am not one of them lol)and as i see the crowd i know that they are really enjoying the event

Alright here we go with those hypocritical animal lovers!

Cockfighting is a traditional activity to a certain country. This has been happening for decades. I mean humans have found a better purpose for Roosters. After they died in a fight, they will be served in the table anyway. They arent even endangered, they have been reproduced, most specially those fearless and bold kinds.
We have our own different justification of when we call out for animal cruelty.

Even in my country,cockfighting is legal and very popular particularly to those who are high class and average people.They prefer cockfighting than gambling in real casinos.They also make good profits from it.But unlike in trading,the profits is much lower compared to trading cryptos.

Just go through my post and get the facts straight. I am not an animal lover, but I am against animal cruelty.

I have seen these cock fights in real life. There is blood and flesh everywhere and normal human beings would find it extremely disturbing. Off course these birds are not endangered. But is it justifiable to attach sharp blades to their feet and let them cut each other's flesh with that?

I don't want to ban these events. I know that it is a part of the culture. All I am saying is that I can't support these events.

What about circuses? Aren't animals tortured there for entertainment purposes only?

I'm against cruelty towards animals, but I bet those fighting roosters are much happier than the bear riding bicycle in the picture below.

https://i.imgur.com/Tg3BpPQ.jpg

No one is forcing those roosters to fight btw, it's in their nature. While in circuses animals are constantly tortured by tamers to perform those funny tricks crowd adores so much.

It is heart wrenching to see such pictures on the screen by the hands of the most civilized and wise specie proudly known as humans. We have laws and regulations that forbid this but I have not seen someone taking a strict action. Maybe this is what will happen to human if AI kept on advancing in the long run for over a century or so. A robot will know that he is a robot and would have the wisdom equal to a Monkey. Think about how one would feel to be played like this at the hands of AI once the intelligence reaches the point of singularity.

Hello jademaxsuy, i'm from México and i have seen these fights live. The place where this fight takes place is called 'Palenque' and there is no underdog on this fight, both of them have the same odds.

The rooster has a knife on his foot and the fight ends when one of them dies.

I guess this is how people from México and Philippines do it but i don't really get the idea why they have to kill each other plus human puts a knife/blade on their feet? I have watched it on youtube but before i finish it watching i turn it off since it's a bloody fight that some of them have to fight to the death and people are cheering to their favorite rooster.

In our country, cockfighting is still openly practiced though it has been banned across the world. In fact, there are TV stations that televise such sport. Stadiums are built for such that can attract lots of audience. Our country's goverenment helps build those stadiums and has tax people attend matches to ensure that those precious tax dollars are collected from the bets placed on the fights. With that, I must say that cockfighting won't leave our country anytime soon. This age-old tradition seems to be beneficial to the people and the government—entertainment for the former, and money from taxes for the latter.

From what I've seen, they are almost always fighting without any blades during cockfightings around the world. Whether blades should be attached to their feet or not is questionable because, from my point of view, for example, a slow death is much worse than a fast one. I heard cocks are killed immediately after they lose, and cooked afterwards, but I'm not sure if that's always the case.

I would definitely oppose children watching such cruel fights, but as for the adults, I think they can watch whatever they want. If you ask me, I'd say cock fighting is as cruel towards animals as horse racing. I personally don't find such things to be entertaining, but I don't blame people who like them. I'm no vegan, and I realize that I do contribute in animals' suffering in a way, so I can't blame others who do the same only in their own way.

Well, we have our own differences when we're talking about "animal cruelty". These roosters are born to fight each other, which is different from the other animals. You will rarely find a rooster who will not fight when he sees another rooster. If you read my comment above, I said " humans have found a better purpose for the roosters.

And YES! It is justifiable! Only those who dont have the slightest idea about this culture who will say " its an act of animal cruelty". Did you know how these rooster owners have raised them? Roosters have vitamins, special food to enhance fighting, and trainings. After they died in the fight they will be served in the table anyway. So, Its just like youre raising a pig and on the latter you will slaughter it to serve it on the table. Do you consider it as animal cruelty??
My own definition of animal cruelty is, killing an animal without any purpose. Perfect example is killing cats and dogs.

The amount of money that we are talking here is really huge for the tax people to be present in every event just to ensure tax are paid.
Damn, tax collectors are everywhere, we cannot enjoy the full amount of winnings we have in gambling.
In my place, it's already popular but I have not seen that kind of scenario where tax agent or people has to be present everytime.

Cockfighting is also legal in my country but i have not heard that tax is being placed in every bet.I have not experienced cockfighting but i was raised with a cockfighter.I grew up with a lot of cocks around in our yard.Maybe tax is already imposed on every game because this is what the government is really after.

Im from Philippines and every city in my county have place for cock figthing. They have cock fighting who are legal and they have illegal cock figthing place become illegal because they don't have any permit to the government which is really needed . Most of the citizens here in the philippines is the father who more than love their cock compared to their real son.

Those arena that have legal documents is under the tax law for sure, they are imposed by taxes each games that has been played every ruling is implemented from individual games that will be catered inside the arena, cockfighting legalities accompanied by rules where government of such countries have the cut from each fight that has been done, it will helps the government in some terms from the collected taxes.

No, my country does not know about cock fighting betting. My country is more gambling at online. I also like to play gambling online. Our country is gaming with Dice Games. We are not aware of cock fighting. But gambling is very popular in our country. But we never played gambling with cock fighting. But I heard cock fighting's name.

Thank you

Cock fighting is very common here in our country. Wherever I go, I always see cock fighting but I never tried to gamble in it.

Most of the fathers here in our country who are involved in cock fighting love their cock more than their real son. It is ridiculous but it is true for some :D. The arenas where cock fighting is happening in our country have legal papers already so its legal here in our country but I think there are some who are running illegal.

I think cockfighting is not being taxed because that game is a traditional gambling game and besides that, people who played the game is not getting tax too. Perhaps, in some country, cockfighting being legal because it is part of the traditional game in that country and we could see the game was played for some ceremony in the country.

But if the game was being taxed, then I think people should obey the rule, and they need to pay the tax especially if they can win the game. I guess that this game is very interested to see at the stadiums with many people watching.

Well if there would be a site that would make it happen and they would put up a refferal program then I would make a huge profit just by reffering this to my friends.
I have friends who are a huge fan of cock fighting and he also participates he owns some rooster.

I do not think one could win a very big amount of money in the Cock fight. It used to happen in my country and still happens somewhere across the countryside but not in the cities anymore. People have switched to the online way of gambling which is also appealing to them. Dog fight is famous in the villages though it is illegal but people put in money and win.

I have been trying to imagine how people gamble with cocks and all that and now I am also reading that there is Dog fighting. Please what country is that? I am not surprised the dog fights are declared illegal. Was expecting to read that, this is animals and they should not be used to gamble just because of human’s desperation to make money. It is very wrong.

Well I am very sure with online gambling, no one would participate in such gambling. Especially youth because online gambling is classier, more secured and more convenient to play compared to that archaic animal gambling. Am sorry if I sounded quite harsh concerning this, I just hate it when animals are not treated rightly lol

In my country cock fighting is already a legal, until now. So there are more cock fighting arena in everywhere if you want to bet. Especially during some special occasions like a fiesta town, and there are many people visited to bet because there is a big prize. Even in the street place you will find some people are playing cock fighting.

My country don't have cock fighting and I am hearing about this for the first time.  I do believe that cock fighting is very new to many of us here.  Gambling is not an offence in my country but the truth is we don't do animals fighting betting.

Am surprised didn’t know the game can be legal in a country. Would like to know about your country and how long the game has been in existence. I’ve always taught that it would be impossible for a country to make cockfight legal, am sure that’s because I barely know little about the game and I am from a country where it is not been practiced.

Cock fighting to me should never be a legal game because it’s just like violating the right of the animals. I am just of that opinion because I cannot imagine how animals are been used to gamble. Is that the extent to which gamblers are in need of money or you people still do that for fun?

In the Philippines, cockfighting has been around before the discovery of Magellan (Portuguese explorer) of the island. Cockfighting at the moment is a very big business in the Philippines and if stop many people will go jobless.

If we are talking of animal rights here, then circus is way more brutal than cockfighting. It is nature for roosters to fight but it is not nature for bears to entertain people.

In my country Gambling in chicken battles has been done for a long time by many people. But for me personally I have never tried it. Because in my country gambling in chicken battles can be said to be still illegal, with that it is certainly very difficult to find a place. Because if the place is distributed, it will certainly make the place closed.

 
In my country it is legal, because so many people in my village use to do this people keep cocks in their home then train them to fight then in yearly fighting completion they bet for cock fight and it really enjoyable game, but I never saw any chicken fight, I am sure it must be nice so lets see what happens, but it is nighters legal nor illegal.

It's the most favorite bet for people who live in village. So, I absolutely know about this one. But, It's not legal and never legal as it uses animal to fight. I think what made this illegal is not because animal violence but because people bet on it. However, people still sometimes conduct this game secretly.

I'm sure that cockfighting takes place in more countries than we are aware of, but most of the time it is hidden from the general public's view.

There are places on the world where laws or jurisdiction would really be different that's why its no surprise that it would be strict on some countries and some
do widely open to welcome nor legalize these gambling practices.Its not totally animal cruelty yet these roosters are livestocks.I wont be surprised if its being used
on gambling.Some might say this is brutal but these things do exist.

It would never be legal unless it's registered on the government regulation. Once the operation of the cockfighting will be done secretly, it's always an illegal act if it wasn't taxable by them. In some asian countries, this type of sportsbetting has been practiced by hobbyist as form of their entertainment. This wasn't a new story to hear, government is more aware of this type of activities in the community.

Cock fighting is also popular here in our country especially in the rural area. I remember when my father is still alive he used to own a few rooster that he bought from his friend and train them until they grew up. My mother often scold him for attaching too much himself on his hobby and forgot his responsibilty as the provider of the family.

Well its entertaining to bet but there must be a limit. I know plenty of people betting on cock fighting but there's no one who became rich because of gambling.

I'm not really have fun in gambling cock fighting cause I don't like noisy place or something getting into troubles cause it mostly happens in our place.
It sometimes happens during fiestas or some big occasion in Rural areas.
There is also some promotions for a big fight participated by known cock fighting players in our country and think how much they could possibly win, millions? That is really big price.

Of course in all gambling activities there should be limitations imposed so that addiction will be avoided as much as possible. Cock fighting betting is also legal in our own country and some of my relatives are into cock fighting too. You can also make good profits if you end up having a brave rooster making your opponent's rooster dead.

In my country some people are asking the authorities to regulate cock fighting as a sport because many people like it and want to have the guarantee of the justice to keep promoting this kind of event without risk of being arrested or charged a fine.
On the other hand there are a lot of pression over the government to not endorse this kind of activity. An endorsement would mean a gesture of wickedness and disregard of the government about the animals.

It is difficult to believe that even in the 21st century, there are people who support such cruel forms of entertainment. I admit that it may be embedded in the local culture and the customs, but this is something that I can't condone. Times have changed and people should also change. Participating in animal cruelty just for entertainment is not compatible with the modern human ethics. If they can't completely ban it, then it should be toned down to reduce the levels of violence.

It is legal from where I am from and it is definitely one of the favorite "hobby" of the older guys here.


I'm not even sure what are the modern human ethics that you are talking about.
The thing here is we cannot impose our own belief on other people. 

Thats the sad part, kind of hard to stop and thats a shame, animal cruelty at its finest.
cant people bet and watch this for some kind of entertainment its just sickening.

Violating the right of animal lol.. That made me laugh mate. I understand you have no idea about the game at all. Probably because of your country but it has nothing to do with animal right violation that is if animals even have a right.

Cockfights is a very interesting gambling and its practiced more in the Asian country. Plated more by the average citizen but it’s been viewed by a lot of of people, even the wealthy.  Those days I was much younger, I would go and watch my father play. He rares cocks in preparation for this gamble. One of the days I saw how my father won money just by using hand signal, he was really happy and we had fun.

Very popular here in our country, it's legal if it held in a place, in compliant to the as specified by our country, but illegal if it is held in a backyard and people making bets on it because it creates to much noise in the neighborhood, it's very old gambling form in our country there was a time that it's our national past time.

I don't think this kind of animal cruelty happens many places in Northern Europe where I live, The only time I have seen cockfighting was between two cocks who were living on two different farms near each other, they were fighting each other without any humans wanted them to do so. None of the cooks took any visible injuries, and they were fighting each other for more than 10 or 15 minutes, according to one of the owners they were fighting each other each week.

Cocks or Roosters will fight each other regardless if they are on the same farm or not. Thats why humans have found a better use of these roosters than just breeding hens or cooking it for dinner. And I dont think cockfighting is a form of animal cruelty.

There is so much benefit to feed those fighting cocks because if will not take so much investment but the result of a single fight is worth winning so it like to play if I ever got an opportunity now a day I am keeping my own fighting chicken so it will grow and will fight for me to win the bet it makes huge profit.

Legality is one thing and ethics is another. It may be legal in your place (although I doubt that). But is it morally correct to harm living beings just for entertainment? I have watched the videos of cock fighting in YouTube, and they are nothing short of barbaric. I don't know what sort of message is being sent out by conducting such tournaments. Ideally, sports is meant for relaxation and peace. Here, all the violence, blood and gore is being used as a tool to attract more viewers and generate revenue.

Here's one scheduled this May 27 to June 2 and it will be hosted at Smart Araneta Coliseum.

https://i.imgur.com/hPqorcNm.jpg

So this event will last for 6 days (June 1 not included). Ticket price costs at around $20 USD to $30 USD. Take note that it's 1 ticket per day so if you plan to attend the entire 7 days derby then it will cost you $140 USD to $210 USD.

We have it in our country but their a specific place to do it which is legal and they even have schedules like  every Sunday in our place. It is an all time favorite past time by most people especially older ones or like retirees.

What you are saying are those cockfighting that guerrilla style,those who’s not in legal arena that’s why they are hiding the game

But for those professional cockfighting that has a big amount of bets,they are conducting derbies in which many popular people attending (mostly politicians lol 😂)

To be specific that's not happening in my own country as i have never heard anybody mentioned it to me. One would say that, this type or kind of fight could be such that will be restricted to some age or that which is done secret and not public. In my country, if such thing is fond, there will be a penalty for the organizer of such competition as our culture is against such practice..   

it could be because your folks use different pets say dogs or horses. i'm from Philippines and we all have these type of entertainments, it could be brutal to you but these are fun to watch just as the matadors in Spain. WE do have cock fighting in the arena, same goes with spiders and fighting bulls in the northern provinces.
In some countries there are illegal pitbull fights which were also adopted here.

My country is in Southeast Asia, and my country exists cockfight betting and lives cockfight betting. But the cockfight bet is an activity banned because my state completely prohibits all forms of gambling. If you want to join the cockfight bet, you need to find out which areas are illegal. I still often join cockfight bets, and most of them often lose in bets.

Probably they didn't see any fighting cocks,which are so brave and even I am afraid of going near but the people who train it live with them and care them as a kid.Some people will cheat the games by giving medicines before the game but once it's been caught they will never allow that person for playing.

Yes, In philippines I think it's not illegal to fight a cock,  here in my place I have seen a cock fight maybe a year ago but I never tried to bet on cock fight gambling but I have many friends that put a bet on cock fight they are so happy when they won on betting a cock fight.

Another popular game here in our country, in fact, we have a lot of arenas here in our town build for cockfighting and some high profile personality in politics patronizing this kind of gambling, every Saturday and Sunday arena are jampacked with cock owners to bet in cockfighting, it used to be our country's national past time.

Cock fighting is popular in our country very well. There is a place dedicated just to cock fighting. It is considered to us that it is a form of gambling. Some owners breed well their chicken that they spend greather money than to themselves. People goes into those cock fighting places and bet who they think will win. Some bet really large amounts that its equivalent to a price of motorcycle.

Few countries are still on it and I think in coming time might be this would also get ban just like bull fight is getting banned in some due to animal cruelty laws coming in place. Thus may be in next say 5 years or so we may not be able to see such fights I feel so.

It meant, it is popular betting in your city, then you much play it and try your luck. But i see only in few countries, cock fight is on betting. Otherwise majority of people don't know about cock fighting. Can you believe it that i never see cock fight in my whole life.

In the Philippines I know right now cock fighting is legal and many men who are addicting to this traditional gambling.
Your bet become double if your bet win the fight . Many cock fighting places here in the Philippines and as far as I know every city they have.  I did not try cock fighting because I don't want to become addict but some of my relatives are playing that.

Oh really ?  I believe you because i can see that your from a different country based only on your forum name  . i believe that your country is more stricter and your country do have some law or beliefs about animal ( animal cruelty )  but for others especially on the third world countries or asian countries ,  cock fights and other animal/insect based games/gambling is totally legal

I think this is a very redundant post here and need to be removed on urgent basis. We should be dealing with crypto gambling and not with cock fighting. Makes no sense on a site made by Satoshi Nakamoto aimed at crypto discussion. This was something that used to be seen in far flung villages on the country and now unknown to the kids. Low or no economic value and benefits.

People here are not discussing on cock fighting, but they are discussing of the cock fighting betting in the gambling section which is totally relevant and nothing wrong with it.
By the way, I never like these cock fights betting neither do they happen in my country. I first learnt about them through youtube video.

Upon checking the google,cockfighting is a old school game that has been around for thousand years and I guess more than half of he world knows this

Yeah in my place most of my friends has a rooster that they breed for cockfighting,they are gathering good amount of money for betting specially when invited in Derby’s in which the opponents are richer people of the community.so by that yes we know this chicken fight

For now there are no betting sites that offer crypto as the medium for betting in cockfighting but who knows someday they will offer one. You can only bet on fiat at the moment on online cockfighting but limited only in countries where cockfighting is legal.

@OP, maybe you can now lock the thread as you already got much information from the community. Have seen redundant posts here. Please do your share of making this forum clean and spam free.

Thank you for the reminders yeah I have been reading a lot of.feedback from the users here in the forum. Others have shared their expertise while others does not have any idea on what is cock fighting all about. All they know is that cock fighting is a violation on animal rights and they indeed right. However, if we allow animal rights to interfere for all the animals then we will not be able to eat KFC, MCDONALDS AND eveb JOLLIBEE. LOL!

I only saw cock fighting on TV and in my country it's some kind of exotic thing. we prefer betting on traditional sports like football and tennis.

Yeah its an exotic thing yet this is just only available in some ASEAN countries where they do make some cock fightings

and make a bet on whose gonna win in the end.This is some sort of entertainment into its citizens but this hasn't been known
worldwide which it would look out bit too harsh on some countries that do give importance even these cocks are considered
as livestocks.

      Yes cock fighting is very much popular in the Philippines since during Spanish time,  it is already well known gambling activity until now which is already permitted by the government and you can also have in online betting not anytime.

This game is not limited only to ASEAN countries, some state in the US (Texas) used to have this game in fact some of the birds in the Philippines were imported from Texas that they even called that breed TEXAS :). It's not exotic, it is almost the same as bullfight but the big difference is that almost all of the defeated birds died.

Yes. Not just in Philippines but also in some big countries cock fighting is also popular. My father is a cockfighter way back then and so i used to surround with cocks in my childhood days because he is raising few of it. Even at the present time, cockfighting has been more popular not just to those old ones but even to the young ones too.

Yes, cock fights were famous in my country. There are large number of people who are highly dedicated in preparing the cock with special nutrition and practice. One of my friend have got few, and the fights will be scheduled into three at least. The maximum wins will be rewarded and I've seen a maximum betting of $1500, and in our locality this happens mostly with the days of annual Feast or on account of some festive season.

Cock fighting is indeed one of the known and popular gambling in the Philippines. People raise roosters not to cook it but to let it be in in cockfights. Cockfight arenas are filled with people watching and yelling for their bets. Rooster who lose usually dies and will be cooked for dinner by the owner who won,  but if it is lucky enough to survive the fight,  then it better be ready for another fight after it recovered. 

I'm residing in one of the countries you've mentioned buy I haven't seen cock fighting here in our country. Maybe in some other places here or cities or in some provinces. I've only seen spider fighting, rooster fighting, big ant fighting but I think I missed cock fighting. In Spider fighting, it is already considered as a gambling here since gamblers  spent big money for it in particular area. Anyhow, it is indeed interesting if ever I see one.

Well cock fighting is well known here in our country.you can earn such a big money by playing this kind of gambling.even in a small brgy in province mostly an old man people are playing this game.simple game but can give happiness watching two rooster fighting.

Cockfighting was very popular here in the past. But because the authorities are always hunting for cockfighting gambling, the number of this type of game is very rare. Even if there is, the activity must be very confidential and not everyone can access it.

Simple game at it is but those fighting cocks was raised by the owners for year/s and treats the cock as part
of their life, it's only enjoyable for the winning side but for those who loses not only the money but the cock
that they have for some time.

first of all, I live in India and I have never seen any casino because casinos are banned all over India except goa. anyway yes, cockfighting is very common in India (not have seen it personally) but it is so famous that it is even shown in some movies like the movie LUCK (http://"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242782") from India. never tried it but will try it if got any chance.

Cock fighting is not that popular in India nowadays, but there are a few rural areas where it is still practiced. I am residing in the state of Tripura, and cock fighting is one of the rural pass-times. It is banned by law, but I have never heard of anyone getting caught by the local cops for either organizing a fight, or for taking part in a bet.

Usually gambling like this only catch by cop when they do raid on them. Or maybe if people make report about it. Maybe our country almost same, because they do it in place that really secret.
