I feel Asians are better with awkward games, so you should not compare a country that deals with technology, and almost all games are online based to a country that keeps on promoting weird games. I am always surprised on how a game like cock fighting can be so celebrated among the Asians and this is really funny.
I am a great fan of adventure and I like to try out things but cock fighting is one thing I would never do, it seems to me like an abuse on the animals and in my country it’s an offense. Knowing that is a country’s most famous and most celebrated game is something that pisses me off and I will not be wrong to say that Asians have the worst kind of games.
I am sure you are not very familiar with Asian games, you probably only heard of cockfight and it gave you reasons to dislike them, the game is actually very interesting, though I have never been where it is played but I have seen a video clip and I found it quite interesting. No wonder they say, one man’s food is another man’s poison.
It might not be suitable for you because of your cultural believe but that is not a good reason to write it off, or speak ill of the game. The players and those from the region enjoy their game and that is the most important thing.
Moreover, Asians are blessed with so many beautiful and interesting games both online and offline and the best of them all is Baccarat and paigow.
There are huge number of other games as well as you said Asia has good name in gambling all over that world. Cockfight is good and famous game that people use to bet on and most of the time it used to happen in village areas in my village once i saw a cockfight and it was so amazing I really enjoyed watching it live.
