Police Raids and kids involving spider betting.

[robelneo]

Amazing how can people find many forms of entertainment even with the shutdown of casino's and physical sports bookies. It still showed no obstacle for people to bet and gamble, this is a matter of great concern.

That spider betting is already existing even before the pandemic begins and in fact, good business for those who know how to catch this spiders in the fields they sell anywhere from $1 to $10 depends on the class of the spiders, there are also breeders of spiders and I have seen one on my Facebook group for a local spider's bettors, they also have a group for meet up and buy and sell of spiders.

There's money in spider betting and now that we are in lockdown and quarantine some people make a living out of it.

I remember the Old days when we need to woke up early in the morning every weekends to spend our time looking for wild spiders that can be use for fighting but back then there are no bet instead it is just for Fun only.

Now there are so many gamblers that loves this game and you are correct because it can be sold sometimes in More bigger prices.
specially those Spider that came from the mountains because the more the spider being wild.

But these gamblers that has been caught ?they must be punished because of their not following the social distancing.

Such spider fights have been around for a long time and in the area where I live are used as children's toys like big black ants fighting in small boxes that children play with.
And it happens in the interior and for their entertainment without betting, and this game is not to the death, only to retreat or dodge and lose and it's all for their entertainment.

in my area, children make fighting fish as a bet...
making animals a bet is nothing new but making a profit as a bet I'm just hearing this for the first time. actually I am concerned about the security conditions there, it would be nice if the police do not arrest minors for gambling, it's better to just call their parents so that both their parents punish them.

[Coinoplex]

Lol betting on spiders. I don't understand why people bet on this because isn't it just completely random who wins so it's 50/50? What's the thrill in that? Why don't they just flip a coin or throw coins against a wall? That's what we used to do at school. Apparently it's called pitching pennies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitching_pennies

Poor spiders but I think it does have some sort of thrill especially if its an aggressive venomous type spiders 

[plvbob0070]

What exactly is the authority trying to prevent in the country?  Crowded places due to the health problem, animal fighting, gambling, betting on animals?
I think the police is doing the right thing of it is trying to stop or prevent all of the above.  People should avoid gathering in crowded place without following the good safety measures. They should also not allow people to encourage animals to fight nor bet on fighting animals. In regards to gambling, it's obviously not a good thing to gamble in anything atall especially for selfish reasons. We must be good/profitable at betting before committing more money/time in it.
  A bettor must not gamble. Bet with small amount of money or what you can afford to lose till perhaps you become good at the games/competitions. Bet only on good and safe games (no betting on animals fights or other violent games). Be a good and responsible bettor.

Spider betting is not really a problem here in my country since it's been popular for a long time. The problem is social gathering amidst the pandemic and the kids are outside which is not allowed I think, that's why the authorities are constantly monitoring op's place. Although I don't think that the authorities are concern about gambling at a young age since it's just a small betting made for fun, I still think it's not a good practice for minors because they might adapt it when they grow up.

Authorities now are concern of both the social gathering and most of all the gambling. Even before the pandemic, the President in OP's country have a directive address to the Philippine National Police to stop illegal gambling even the small ones like bingo or card game's with friends. There are so many arrest made by the PNP here in our place on that spider betting games and illegal cockfighting even before the pandemic happen, that's why that kind game is not visible on the streets unlike before where the openly bet on the streets.  

Well yeah, gambling is still prohibited as of now but what I mean is that the authorities are not concerned about these kids betting on spider even before the pandemic because it already becomes a childhood of most of us. And that it's not really their job to worry about kids who might learn gambling at a young age (that's what I'm retaining). But for the protocol, they are now strict towards any kind of physical gathering and gambling.

Personally, I haven't heard or seen people or kids in my place that are into spider betting today.

There's should be presence of their parents once they've been punished.  This will serve as full responsibilities so parents
will really pay attentions with theirs kids, lots of people including minors are being involved to gambling so parents should
help the government by watching your children and prevent them to be involved is a good thing to do with and without the pandemic.

It is the most common reasons why children get involved in vices in a young age because their parents doesn't care about them on what will be the outcome of their children. So it's truly a parent's fault and they should know their responsibilities on taking care of their children for them to stay away from gambling while they are not in a legal age. Also, while we are in the middle of pandemic and we should all be staying at our homes, so it would be easy for parents to monitor their children on what they are doing.

They are not venomous, I can sure of that because kids are the one playing here and even if the one playing are adults they will not bet on venomous spiders, it's a game and betting and the one playing are holding it with their hands and if these are venomous they will be in trouble of getting poison, those spiders are harmless I don't know what are the kinds of spiders these are.

Parents arent perfect persons thats why there are instances on where they do missed out their childrens activity. Who would be the one to expect that playing out spiders would involved to gambling?

since this had been known to be like a hobby but people just made it other way around on involving money when they do make fight out of those spiders.

Parents arent solely to be blamed but somehow telling your kids about gambling or money involvement will really be not a good idea or good thing for them.

[harizen]

Looking at one of OP's posts, I can say that he's from PH.

About the topic, raids happened there not only because of spider betting but:

a) it's an illegal gambling
b) gambling is not allowed yet on a region under a specific status
c)age 21 and below aren't allowed to go outside (in general)
d) violation of health protocols

I don't know the area but looks like the community there is stubborn lol. No offense to OP.

[chaser15]

If only there's someone knowledgeable there about creating a simple app for betting, they can get away from the authorities. They can turn their usual activity into something profitable while following the safety standards against Covid-19.

Look at those other trendy gambling games online here in PH like cockfighting, horse racing, billiards - no live audience but a Livestream.

The application of these gambling games is so simple. Not much stuff and the interface is clean. The only important part of the interface is the easy and simple placing of the bet.

[Erumo]

What is all story about? Not wearing a mask? Illegal gambling or kids playing with probably dangerous insects?
Come on, they are just kids, dont spoil their childhood. Kids are having fun because they dont have much toys. Parents should be lucky they did not spend all day playing console games.

When I was a kid, I used to hit trees, flowers and grass with a stick. What now? Greenpeace will sue me for nature harm ?

[sunsilk]

It is not an excuse to do something against the law because of your passion. These kids might not be aware of that law as they are still kids and doesn't search what's in the rules or law about gambling at a young age but about ignorance of the law, there's a saying about it.

If this is the first time, they can be warned and be fined with an amount that their parents afford to pay or whichever amount that's based and indicated by the law.

If the kids were not aware of this , the parents and guardians should be held responsible. If you give them only warning, this trend will continue and everyone will exclude themselves by saying that they do not know the rules of the country/area. Their parents should be heavenly fined so no one care dare do this again.

Then it's up to the authorities if they will let the parents accountable for it.

If there's a law that allows the kids to be arrested or at least give some disciplinary action, I think that's all that they have to do. But as I've said about the ignorance of the law, they can't make excuse with that.

Right now, more and more people are violating health protocols, so it's no wonder the corona virus is spreading faster. And regarding
the incident in the opening post, in my opinion, it is 100% the fault of the parents of the children who made the spider betting. Parents
should be increasingly monitoring their children, especially in a pandemic situation like now. It is very dangerous to let children out of
the house. Then regarding betting using spiders, for me it's a new thing. Because I just found out that spiders can be used for betting.
Hopefully the spiders used are not poisonous spiders, otherwise they can be dangerous.

[South Park]

I think this is the matter of social gathering rather than the spider betting itself.

Unless gambling is banned in your place, I don't think spider betting is that bad. As a kid, we've been doing that for years and we don't have a problem with that to the authorities. The barangay captain of our place even joins with our fun by cheering with us. It is just we are hard-headed and loves letting these spiders fight, that is just it.

Everyone can have their own opinion, however I do not like the idea of two unwilling beings fighting each other for the entertainment of a few people, I was not aware that happened but it produces in me the same repulsion I get when I hear about dog fighting, and when you add the angle that kids participate in this activity then it makes it even darker in my opinion, if people are so determined to gamble they could bet in several other activities that do not harm others.

I wonder what other countries plays spider battle, it used to be popular in my country but not sure if it's still is. Before it was just a mere gaming and no betting involved but later on betting added for some thrill, it may also be seen by adults who used to play that. It was only maybe now that raids were happening implementing of a much stricter protocols due to Pandemic is a must, especially having no kids outside as well doing gambling in general by the kids should be stop by their parents.

Parents could be the one also encouraging their kids.
This is the time where parents have no jobs so they just go along as well to find more spiders to sell to make money while the kids also spend the time of their lives.  They are force to find way to make money since Social Amelioration Program are corrupted by local officials. If covid is also around thier area then its intensified where the bettings happen.

LoL it could be fun at all if there was no money involve, but the thing is kids in the story already knows what they are into. You're right they are just kids, the excuse is very old, you're like saying don't punish them coz they are just kids.

Parents should be lucky they did not spend all day playing console games.

But these days? during the pandemic, playing console gives entertainment that does not require anything from the outside.

When I was a kid, I used to hit trees, flowers and grass with a stick. What now? Greenpeace will sue me for nature harm ?

Depends on the place lol, if you do that somewhere in a private area and someone sees you goodluck!

There might be some sermons about their parenting or as a guardian but they wont be accountable for such violation.Those kids neither be forgiven or most likely it would be
having that punishment and since they are just minor of age then they might be asked up to do community works as a first offence but if they would be caught on next time
then that would be an another story. Each violation level would have corresponding punishment which is usual.Some might be on some penalties and some
would need some community works.

[bitbollo]

Wow so it isn't a joke right? So even spider could be used for a bets. But personally I don't want bet in a fight between animal or even insects it's very sad to see
Unfortunately yt is full of these creepy videos (fights between insects) likewise different species.
It sounds very strange and far away from my "habits" since in my country (Italy) the most that people do is fight between dogs. Nowadays this is a very rare form of business since most of time they get arrested and fighting dog just dies
