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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

It would be wiser if we were able to "maintain a culture that is still good and adopt an even better culture." And many people say that cockfighting is a tradition or culture that must be stopped because it includes acts of cruelty to animals and in its implementation many are driven by gambling. so that cockfighting activities are considered increasingly negative. However, apart from tradition/culture, it can provide benefits including; Being a gathering place between communities, can increase the income of an area with many tourists visiting to see cockfights and can improve the economy/small business carried out by the community.

So, it remains for us to assess whether there are more bad or beneficial in preserving cockfighting culture. If, for example, there are more benefits than bad, then there is nothing wrong with an area continuing to maintain the tradition of cockfighting. And vice versa.

Yes you are right that mate chicken is one of the best product in every country that serves every people. And it's almost the same when chicken being slaughtered by people and roster being slaughtered by other rosters. When we saw a cockfighting then we will be enjoy and the most thrilled is when we put our bet on the roster that we feel we will win and then in during the fight in the first met your cock is being hit and then in the second and third met your cock won then that a very thrilled game.

Chickens are being slaughtered globally for food. They are livestock that’s why this kind of game is still allowed even though watching them brutally kill each other is very alarming.

I’m not a supporter of this kind of game even though this is popular in my country. But I’m guilty of eating chicken too that being slaughtered and the only difference was human kill them instead of their own.
