Would you bet on an insect fight?

[stfN2128]

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. 

[mersal]

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.

[Ranly123]

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.

San Juan Ants also known as Chicatanas

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?

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.

[BitBustah]

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.

[boyptc]

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.

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

[jademaxsuy]

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

[adzino]

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?

[bhabygrim]

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.

[Wendigo]

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.

[playboy654]

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.

[xWolfx]

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.

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.

[akram143]

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.

[FIFA worldcup]

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

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

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 ?
