Here in our province, even though we're under on what our Government so called "MGCQ" or Modified General Community Quarantine, any form of gambling is still prohibited. But yesterday, many people has been caught betting on cock fighting on an actual fight here in our province.
I don't know their true intent but for me, it's not even worth it to violate the rule and risk your money on cock fighting just to increase your financial needs. I've heard that the caught violators will going to pay PHP36,000 or around $600.
What's your thoughts about this? Is it worth to risk your health just to be able to win money by not abiding the law?

I'm sure that tupada or backyard cockfighting was done in an isolated place but unfortunately, someone tipped authorities about this case, they do not want to get caught I'm sure they know the penalties backyard cockfighting is illegal, there are two ways that they can do this, they either bribed the authorities or do this in a safe place they designate, unfortunately for them, they are caught. Backyard cockfighting is very addictive and a pastime for folks in the province, they willingly forgot the protocol just to bet in this tupadas.

their intent is to gamble and hoping to earn money for financial needs for their family or for their own. 36K PHP is a hefty price to pay(at least in our country). I bet they didn't expect that the fine for that violation would be that expensive. I just hope they'll learn from this and would hesitate when illegally gambling. What's your thoughts about this? Is it worth to risk your health just to be able to win money by not abiding the law?
In my own opinion? no! but to these gamblers? yes, or they just don't care about the risk.

There's a law in place because that is the protocol to be followed but to prohibit gambling in this situation, we can expect that not everyone will follow as gamblers will always find a way regardless of the situation.
Cock fighting gambling is very common in the Philippines, so we can expect that some would really violate the law just to gamble, and I'm sure they will regret as the penalty is so high, so if they can't pay that penalty, they will stay in the Jail for a while. Maybe the penalty will have to be increase so these people would not really force to violate the law.

Even if you did not mentioned the country I'm sure it's the Philippines where back yard cockfighting is very popular no wonder they have the most number of CoVid infection in Asia and it's still growing, people there are taking their chances because of lack of work or they just want to ease the boredom of the quarantine, whatever their reasons are, it's not right that they do cockfighting it will violate social distancing which the government is imposing, the violators will have to go to prison or pay the price to set example to others would be violators.

they are also in need there are people want to earn money easily and gambling have that category they just use the old way to gamble. If they know there are many other option to gamble without the need of physical appearance I know they will love to try it. Gambling is already part of their life so they don't think about the risk they are not even afraid in virus.

It's not worth the risk and besides if you do this kind of activity (illegal cockfighting), the chance for you to win is 50/50 and the amount of fine is too much that your family will be having a hard time on bailing you out. If you are really want to gamble on cockfighting, you still can do this online(still illegal) but at least you are not there physically and the risk for you to contract the virus is zero percent.

With the ever increasing lockdown, people have no options left than to disobey, this self confinement is driving many people crazy and they want something to keep them occupied. Gambling is one of the thing people misses the most after maybe beer parties. Cock fighting is getting popular in my home town as well. Here's a farm that breeds and trains fighter cocks and participates in different tournaments as well sell them. I good fighter cock costs more than $1K and they eat more than I do in a single day. It was amazing to see at first.

Perhaps, we think that is not worth doing, but people are trying to make money in many ways. Some people are trying to make money from cockfighting, and even they know the risk if they are caught. The situations force them to do anything, so they can have money to buy their daily needs.
As you said, we don't know what their reason for betting on cockfighting. But one thing that we know, for a small society, is what they can do now because perhaps, they don't find any jobs available for them. We hope that people can find jobs to make money, so they don't have to bet in gambling games.

From the thread it seems that the cock fight has taken place in Philippines. Even in my country we've got people betting on cocks. In the pandemic people have got stuck into the house. This is the reason for people to come out and go on cock fighting even when the government has made restrictions to lower the spread of covid-19.

we already know there are people in needs in money but gambling is not the solution because it can make the situation much worse . The price in your country is too high price IMO, in my country the value is only running in 100-200$ per cock and that cock already won many matches before. Its reasonable price already but that's not came from a big farm.

I'm sure that tupada or backyard cockfighting was done in an isolated place but unfortunately, someone tipped authorities about this case, they do not want to get caught I'm sure they know the penalties backyard cockfighting is illegal, there are two ways that they can do this, they either bribed the authorities or do this in a safe place they designate, unfortunately for them, they are caught. Backyard cockfighting is very addictive and a pastime for folks in the province, they willingly forgot the protocol just to bet in this tupadas. Oh well I bet that exactly what happened. Someone near in the place where the tupada (cock fighting) held tipped the authorities about this, and guess why? aside from being illegal, you could also get a tip from the police (I think PHP500-1K) every time you tip a scenario which violates the Community Quarantine rules. And for the violators, yeah, they've risk their luck in order to push the event so they can be "happy" and earn money as well. But the table didn't turn out to be on their favor.

That is a hefty fine to pay.
As far as I know, they are illegal if people will not be doing that on a licensed cockpit, and also as far as I know there is a designated day for that. I can't tell you if it is Saturday or Sunday. They should know that it is still against the protocol and I don't think it is worth it because some are not even betting that huge let alone paying a 36K pesos.

I guess gamblers will be gamblers, regardless if we are in a lockdown or pandemic. They will always find a way to squeeze and play the sports of cock fighting. I don't know their true intent but for me, it's not even worth it to violate the rule and risk your money on cock fighting just to increase your financial needs. I've heard that the caught violators will going to pay PHP36,000 or around $600.
More likely more than $700 right? Anyhow, you can't really stop gamblers as I have said, they are risk takers and would likely take the risk, unfortunately, this time they have been caught. What's your thoughts about this? Is it worth to risk your health just to be able to win money by not abiding the law?
Of course, It not's worth it, because of the health risk and now they are going to pay severe fines and I'm sure maybe some of them are regretting it, but too late now.

It is, but gamblers still never learn. As far as I know, they are illegal if people will not be doing that on a licensed cockpit,......
No, you can't apply that rules in the pandemic, not only cock fighting is not allowed but all sort of gambling as it gathers masses that would be prone to passing the virus among the people. So even if you do in a legal venue but the act itself is prohibited, you are still doing an illegal activity.

Agree, even the Vegas casinos, they were stopped for awhile although they are a legal entity, they only came back into operation when they have an approval to start operating again. If they operate prior to the approval, they are doing an illegal operation and they can be penalize for doing so, same with the example, cockpit owners can't used their license to exempt themselves from not following the mandate of the authorities.

They should be put to jail for at least a week and given a hefty fine, this is to set example to potential violators that they cannot violate the protocols and ask forgiveness and granted forgiveness, the number of infected in the Philippines already reached over 200 k to date and this is one of the reason, the people's stubbornness.

I think maybe in other ways such as making gambling places online and various other types that can still gamble so that the spread of Covid can be avoided and there is no need to be afraid of being exposed to this virus because we are gambling at home and don't need to hold gatherings.

1. Nothing is worth risking your health 2. Why don't people understand that placing bets on animal fights not only is regarded as an animal abuse at the same time you are helping this grow as a whole. -.- Make bets Safe bets... But not at the risk of someone's life or even yours. -.- For sure 1 person there had the virus , now just gotta wait till 14 days to see how many people were affected. This is sick If you want to place your bets and gamble for sure there are many ways to do that without causing harm to anyone. Use some online gambling sites. They have much more interaction and diversity at the same time if you do think you are not getting the shot of adrenaline then you can even try betting on boxing and such where both players have given consent regarding the fight and such . Just don't drag animals into this .

They should be fined more because they are risking their community to the virus. All I can say is that these people who are violating the covid-19 health protocol are selfish, thinking only their own entertainment. We all know that is not worth the risk but these people don't mind other people nor the health of their family just to give in to the urge of gambling entertainment.
