Cockfighting?

[serjent05]

From the point of view of an American from NY, or from SF, or from some traditional inhabitant of a European country, of course, cockfights are wild and cruel entertainment.  This is the approach we have.  

However, if you ask someone from a country where cockfighting is part of the tradition of this people, then for such people this is normal. If this happens in a village where there are a lot of chickens and roosters, then for these people it is normal.  
Different approaches to this problem clearly say that no one will ban cockfighting in such places.

I agree with you on that, it depends on where you are from that makes up your mindset towards some things cockfight is such an extinct and unpopular game and at many people from those parts of the world that believe and see the animal as worthy to have protections and law to guide such animal right, citizens from such countries will truly see cockfighting as cruel games.
But some other part of the world still sees and approves of cockfighting as a game and even if it is not played on a large scale, cockfighting is one of the most isolated games because even in such countries where it is allowed, cockfighting still remains unpopular.

Maybe this type of game is not popular enough where you are. However, in my place, where almost every house keeps chickens, including fighting cocks, so "cockfighting" in my place is very popular, even though this type of game has been banned by their local government, fighting activities continue to be played.
The pros and cons related to this game continue to this day. And I think that there are more people who reject it than those who support it, so like it or not those who are fond of cockfighting have to hold it in an isolated place to avoid law enforcement officials and not allow the media to cover it because this can jeopardize the continuation of the cockfighting activities that they do. . So this game is not popular enough in some parts of the country.

I am not fond of cockfighting but I see people who are madly in love with this kind of game.  They even have a farm for the fighting rooster and they take care of them way more than his family.  They will get their roosters checked if something goes wrong while neglecting his family's health.  I do not know what comes to the mind of these people since they treasure their fighting cocks way more than themselves and their families.

Cockfighting is very popular in my country to the point that e-sabong become trending.  Even during the pandemic, there are people who gather to make "tupada" (illegal cockfighting), they even use cemeteries as a place for cockfighting to hide their illegal activities.

Love towards cockfight is big. Even in my region few are much into it and they're full-time into it. They have got a farm isolated from the the region where we've got movement of public or away from residence region. As said specific foods need to be fed for these Roosters. Very few countries have legalised cockfight. For this reason most of the time the team to team games were played which means two teams find a common place and allow them to fight with bets placed.

^^ I think it's really hard to separate animal cruelty like cockfighting to other gambling. I mean there are countries that really like cockfighting and this become part of their culture and tradition. Yeah, it's cruel, but what can we do if it is being practice for thousands or even hundreds of years?

And as for the subject matter, I'm also not familiar with casino's offering this. So this is not possible to the OP, and I do not think that casinos are going to offer this cockfighting for many reasons. To be fair, I'm also from a country that grow up seeing cockfighting becoming a tradition and sports and used it to gamble.

You are right and I completely agree with you, there are indeed some cities where cockfighting is a major game and the citizens of such City loves betting on the game, but you will agree with me that this betting has remained on a local level, and to be sincere with you, I personally do not think there is any chance that we will ever have to bet on such games in an international level, because no international casino will ever want to list such games due to animal laws governing some jurisdictions or cities in several parts of the world..

So for cities where cockfighting is a thing for them, they can go ahead and enjoy the game, but for me personally though, I do not see or find any excitement in such games.

Yes, I agree, it's local level only, although if I'm not mistaken, it's a world wide sports but then again, it's all about animals so for sure there will be a lot of issues with casino that want to cover this sports as there will be animal welfare and other groups that might raise an objective. So it's going to be a bad image for this casinos that's why they are not even thinking about it.

But for the country that embrace it, no doubt it's part of their tradition and no one can ban it, not ever their government or any other animal rights for that matter. We just have to respect it as it is.

I have a relative who takes care of rooster as his hobby. He do sell it sometimes but often, he is the one going to arena (for cockfighting) to bet on his own rooster with his friends. Even his family is against it (they believe it can't make them rich) there's nothing they can do since he is not listening.

Cockfighting is very popular in my country to the point that e-sabong become trending.  Even during the pandemic, there are people who gather to make "tupada" (illegal cockfighting), they even use cemeteries as a place for cockfighting to hide their illegal activities.

It is quite popular that many gamblers became addicted. Even those who have nothing to eat still finds a way to sustain their addiction. Thus, it's just right that the former president ends the operation of e-sabong.

In my neighborhood, a neighbor breeds chickens for food and shelter before selling them to those who enjoy placing bets on the chicken fights he will attend. Therefore, the person who looks after the chicken will also wager on the chicken he sold on the day of the fight. In addition, he will receive a tip if the chicken he sold triumphs.

When the chicken you chose to bet on wins, rumor has it that you'll also win a sizable sum of money. However, I have never gambled in a cockfight since I may not enjoy the manner of gambling because I feel bad for the chicken.

Yes, even in the US wherein there was a lot of breed of cockfighters, they were outlawed already, so meaning they are not allowed legally.
And everyone is correct, the only reason that they are banned in the US is because of animal cruelty.
But across the border of US, let's say Puerto Rico, you might see cockfighting as being allowed.
However, casinos are not going to have it in their platform simply because it is hard to promote because of animal cruelty.

They can still play cockfighting but don't let it affect their family's needs. But what happens to people who are addicted to gambling, regardless of the type of gambling game, can do things that don't make sense including not having money to buy food but having money to gamble. And it could be that someone would rather gamble on cockfighting than buy food for their family. He thought that if he won this time, his family would definitely eat well and for that reason, he tried very hard to win every cockfighting game. And the chickens he has are selected chickens that are ready to become champions.

Interesting. From my understanding, this could only be found in local platforms that are specifically created for this. But I doubt any reputable crypto casino have this. And from your information, it was created based on a trend over there and vanished when the trend was over. These kind of games are popular in some areas and not widely popular all over the world. And in order to make people attractive towards any platforms, they implements only well knows games and those that are easily to play.

So I don't think there will be any luck finding one platform that has Cockfighting in it. Better to focus on other games that are available there. But if anyone finds it, let me know. I wanna experience it too LOL.

Cockfighting is famous in our country even from back then when I'm still a child. The casino owners just want to utilized the infamous game and make a online platform for it. They also utilized the pandemic, where people are board into luring them to play and bet on their online cockfighting casino.

There are only few countries that are fan of this gambling game, one of them is our country and I understand why there are literally no crypto casino offering it because of the possible low customer traffic into that game. The cockfighting are broadcasted live so the resources needed by the crypto casino is higher than normal casino games, low traffic + high maintenance = not worth to try.

It's just the past cockfighting casino launched in our country is carefully targeted to our country man that why they found success. I believe it's hard to replicate the thing they do in the current time.

This can happen because the love for the fighting cocks is not more than the love for the family. However, because taking care of chickens is their job and they always have a reliable rooster to compete in cockfights and they also have fighting cocks for sale. so they pay so much attention to their pet chickens, because they can make money from there and that money is to meet their needs and that of their family. So we cannot say completely that those who like cockfighting tend not to care about their families.

First of all, This is gambling and wasting money for the rooster maintenance for preparation to fight is really a careless acts since you don’t know if the rooster will win when they put on the match.

Many locals in our area usually over spend on rooster petting since it requires tons of vitamins and special pellet to make the rooster stronger. Typically, most of the owner spend out of budget that leaves their family suffer. I will understand if the expenses is for the rooster sales but this is gambling which makes tem really careless because it’s not a source of income.

It is more a mixture of passion and greed, in my opinion. I have myself seen people who love their fighting cocks, however not to that extreme.

See cockfighting can be as addictive as any other gambling or sportbetting hobby, but there is an important difference which separates cockfighting from those other activities, the owner of the rooster has some power over the outcome of the fight and so, over the chances of winning, so it is logical they take care of their animals as much as they do, because that can be the difference between winning an important amount of money or not.

When you bet in a football match, you can only place the bet but cannot influence on the outcome whatsoever, there is where the addiction comes from, being able to make the difference.

Would you not feel is in your best interest to care for your chicken which lays golden eggs as much as you can?
A farmer who thinks to have raised an unbeatable rooster will do everything for it.

On any sports or gambling activity which would really be connecting out in relation with animals then this cruelty would definitely be an issue and this is why there would be underground places
which had been molded up just because they arent allowed on doing it legally which its not really that shocking anymore considering that each country does impose their own set of rules and regulations on which if you are living in a country which does give out that kind of importance on animals no matter how small or big it is, then its expected that they would really be that mindful on whatever things that it would really be involved with. In US then its banned but in other places which this is really that legally allowed.

Therefore, it would really vary on which place you are living in. Dont tend to make yourself get involved on it illegally or would be going underground just because you are really
that eager on betting with these fights because once you do get caught then for sure you would be having those common reactions and regrets in the end of the line.
For casino application or would be adding up on a platform, then it would be always be depending or abiding with government rules which if ever there's something that crosses out the line
then expect that it wouldnt really be allowed and something that you should go against with.

When you are into this gambling game, your finances should be good as it can really consume a lot of your resources other than your time.
As you stated, taking care alone will require a lot of time and money, so the person who are into this should know the consequences.
So long they know what they are going into, it is up to them as it is their resources at stake.
However, for those individuals who don't have the financial capability to be on this sports, better think of your family's needs first before your gambling desire.
A rooster can eat good food while your family is starving, think about it.

This should be observed but sadly those who take care of the rooster really forget their family needs.  All they have in mind is to make the rooster strong so that it can perform well in the fight.  This will boost the owner's ego and popularity if his fighting cocks always win.  They do their best just for a bragging right until their pet gets defeated.  I feel sorry for the families of these people, and I wonder why they don't just choose to be a fighting rooster breeders rather than being addicted to cockfighting.  This way they can earn money from their rooster breed through sales.

It's common in our country that this has become a way to earn money, not just for the actual cockfighters but also for the breeding side. And this also creates them connection to the people that they will face in their fights. So, referral after referral, they'll be also asked to breed other opponents rooster if they have become known to be a good one. I've got relatives that are into this, they're not the ones betting for the fights, they're not the owners of the roosters but they're just simply the breeders that have been trusted by the owners that are likely businessmen, seafarers and etc.

Since ancient times cockfighting has generally been regarded as a mere form of entertainment. Day by day the style and thinking of this game has changed a lot nowadays khmers are more inclined towards this sport not only for friendship but also for money. So the administration sometimes brings control over money gambling. Banned in many parts of the world due to concerns over animal cruelty, cockfighting remains common from the Philippines to India and is tolerated in regions including parts of northern france.

In that bright side, it creates extra income for those breeders who are not really involve into gambling but more on the side of taking care of those roosters and allow them to collect payment when the owner already decides to get the cock and use it to fight, if by luck, chances that once the owner wins they also give some extra for the breeders a kind of thank you gesture for taking care of the rooster and let them win decently.

To be honest, I never knew that there are actually parts of the world where cockfighting is a common thing and has even been recognized and legalized to be a form of sports that people are legally allowed to bet on the game if interested ..

One thing I will have to agree is to the fact that, as our faces are all different, so also is out likes and hates, preferences and how we find and treat things. Because ordinarily, I was going to say or ask rather, what exactly is the fun in watching cocks fight? It still amazes me how some people find such stuff fun and worthy to be thrown money into .

I don't think that's a problem. Indeed, the problem of caring for fighting cocks is quite expensive, because you have to buy vitamins, feed and so on. However, this is also comparable to the price of the chicken when it is about to be sold, especially when the chicken that is going to be sold has won several matches, so the price offered to buy the chicken is really fantastic. And this is a business.

Indeed there are some people who are more concerned with their pet chickens than their families. But we also cannot condemn everyone who does cockfighting like that.

I agree with this, maybe some people think it is a waste of time just to take care of roosters. However, for people who like cockfighting, they think that the fighting cock they own is very important and a valuable asset. Because they can get money from raising their fighting cocks and through the bets they make in cockfighting.
