Having virtual competitions of animals is good alternative to real world fighting of animals. Especially when it involves death of an animal the sport will be illegal in many countries. Betting on such type of sports can have moral consequences if it becomes known publicly. Not sure if NFT is really going to be the solution here, but I could imagine that some games would become very popular if there is such big competition. Also does it really have to be real world animals like roosters or horses? It's already a virtual game, why not make it virtual creatures too? Pokémon would be the perfect game, millions of people already know it and played it in the past. Having now a more competitive side where it's all about fighting and tournaments could attract a lot of new players. On top of that it would be easy to create a betting market where gamblers could place money on their favorite trainers.

There's nothing like superstition in anything, what people do is to look for an animal that is more aggressive and offensive to be used in serving for this purpose, on a general form, you can discover that there are cocks that they are being aggressive than the others, same also we have some that are not, this is what you can find out in human as well, and have the high tempered being and many more, selecting a specific livestock species of local breeds could be more suitable in serving for this purpose because they have strong vigour.

In generalizing the facts then I can agree to you, cockfighting is only popular mostly from Asian regions, country that still practicing that tradition and mostly known around rural areas, they are not the same with popular casinos or sport betting where it can be enjoyed by most gamblers, but in the sense of those patrons, they are interconnected like what the post above you mentioned, possible that those gamblers already connect from each other and set the fight up before landing to the arena.

Since cock fighting is an unpopular games, the players who also participate will be unpopular and only connect to each other through special means of communications, this is very important and straight for anyone to see and understand properly, although i have not seen such games in real live before and cockfighting sound unpopular to me at this point since this game is seen as illegal in my jurisdictions.


So for that, a few time i have to just read about it online and also watch some videos about cockfights, but even at that, the game is highly unpopular and its research results are not easy to come by at some point so this makes it hard for us to properly understand what the risk for this game is and how to handle them and what are their revenue generation or threat to an animals life.

Sorry but i personally do not see cockfighting as a game many people want to bet on as you have said, why do I think this?
First is that, there is no statistics anywhere showing that a lot of people are interested in betting on cockfighting, at least, none I know of, so in case you have such data on your disposal, please feel free to share it with us.

Secondly, take for instance that cockfighting becomes legal in every part of the world, that is, both international and local gambling casinos take cockfighting up and open betting on the game to every gambler out there in the world, trust me when i tell you that betting on this game can only thrive for a very little time, let's say a year to two, and gamblers will start losing interest, why, because  the life span of cocks are very little, and this will not allow gamblers to make a proper analysis of which cock stand a better chance of winning the fight before betting, this simply means that, majority of the time a gambler is betting on this fight, it will always be the gambler just guessing, no concrete assurance that he or she is sure of what he or she is betting on.

This can make gamblers lose interest in the shortest period of time, this is why i do not that a lot of people are willing to bet on cockfighing as you said.

This is clear because cockfighting gambling practitioners are interconnected and can easily find cockfighting venues. They may also already have a cockfighting schedule, so they must have prepared everything before they went to the location. Gambling banks are also trying to provide cockfighting venues, considering many people still want to bet on cockfighting. And there may be government parties who hide these illegal things so they can continue.

Indeed several countries have made cockfighting cultural tradition that is still being preserved but in some areas it is not for betting but more for entertainment and hobby but as the era progresses cockfighting is starting to be seen as means of betting and can involve very large amounts money.
But it seems like the hype about cockfighting only happens in certain areas because when you enter country that really has cultural tradition of cockfighting then there it not like the hype but it has become an unforgettable daily activity.

It seems like there will be no virtual cockfights that can train breeding and so on as you said because this is fight between two cocks that are being fought and there is special pride for the keeper or maker of fighting cocks because in cock that is ready for fighting there is enough streatmen complicated by training giving herbs or vitamins and also forming the chicken mentality.
If it is done virtually how can cockfighting fan get satisfaction when participating in cockfight?

Yes, on the note that even government ban this gambling practitioner will continue to play and will keep on looking for available venue to bet in, while for those who also supporting it due to their culture or it was been part of tradition they will just keep it alive,and for sure more gambling bankers would love to finance setup like this as they will continue to make money from those people or gamblers  that will continue to bet and support cockfighting games.

Actually, I have thought about this before and discussed it too, in the era of increasingly sophisticated technology, will they continue to use real animals to suffer from cockfighting betting, even though it could be developed like a virtual NFT where chickens can be bought according to the capabilities they have? so you can fight cockfights online at this online casino which is specifically for virtual cockfighting.

Where currently NFTs have become an alternative for gambling in the form of animals and for example I have seen a site where there is a horse racing competition where the horse is a virtual NFT that we can buy on Opensea and each NFT horse can compete with other NFT horses to get present. I think cockfighting can also be developed like that so that no animal has to be injured or hurt, let alone die because of fighting in gambling.

This cockfighting scene and its hype is crazy, right? You have this historical tradition and modern legal and ethical difficulties. (Thinking deeply.) Imagine a way to preserve excitement, community, and culture without harming the real world.

Imagine a virtual platform where you can train, breed, and fight digital roosters. Its virtual, so they have their own stats and skills and everything's fair! Strategy, breeding, conflicts, betting, and excitement continue without real animals being hurt. What do cockfighting veterans think about this digitalisation of their sport

When people realized that cockfighting was an act of indiscriminate killing, they moved away from the sport. If such a game is supposed to still be in vogue, I have not yet been able to witness it myself. It is said that in some rural areas this kind of game is played but it is limited. As a result, it is not possible to watch for everyone, even if it is played in a local area, it is not publicized in the media. Conducting such event in a casino game with such animals is difficult task. On the other hand, no casino company is interested. I think everyone should stay away from such games.

Sorry to ask, but how was this bringing about brutal killing, or was this brutal killing on the cocks or humans who bet on which one is to win the ones who kill themselves over the cock, and beside, is the betting not meant to be something one place online? So if I'm to place a bet online for some cock to win over the other, I don't see who is betting for the opponent cock to win, so how can I go and have a violent argument with the person? I'm just a bit confused about how those work; that's why I asked.

That's surely a business, an underground business in most cases. In villages, where police rarely goes, people still do that, cockfighting and dogfighting. But in countries where it's massvely popular, that's a risky business too because if someone with influence and big money bets on your cock and it loses, they will kill you. That happens very often in Mexico.
In overall, I think that it's unacceptable when humans force animals to hurt it others and to fight till death.

It's like watching an action move in real life for many people, there is an interest in brutality and bloody fights from people. It's a demand/supply, the difference between Mexico and other countries is that Mexican laws allow in some areas for cockfight and in other countries, law doesn't allow. If law was about to allow people to do such games, then we would see these matches massively, it's human nature, you can't change that.

That's because cockfighting may not be as popular as it used to be, and only local people still bet on cockfights. The government could ban cockfighting, but if there are more secret cockfighting venues, the government might have difficulty finding them. Those who play cockfighting can also continue betting in the places provided to make it easy for them. And the tradition of cockfighting in several countries will continue considering that it is part of their tradition, so local people still want to continue it.

Yes this cockfight is held in our country of Bangladesh and some places within the Asian continent. Also, this cockfight is held in other countries of the world. The government of our country does not take any action against this cockfight because this cockfight is not very common. People of some regions organize this event two or three times a year in keeping with their primitive civilization. That is why the government does not take much action against it.  It is not difficult at all for the government to ban this cockfight, the government can stop this cockfight in any way whenever it wants.

I really don’t understand how these superstitions goes,
What is it about them? Like is it what you tell yourself or some phrase you get to repeat over and over before taking a bet or engaging your animals in such activity to make money off them and eventually turn them to food?

I see a lot of animal cruelty in that and don’t or wouldn’t want to encourage any form of cockfighting. Come on?
Everything could be simulated in this day? Why do we have to put these animals through these.

I’m not a veggie or anything but, I was thought not to play with good, let alone to gamble on them. Just eat the damned thing and get your gambling on a sportbookie or casino.

For those who are solid fan or enthusiast with cockfighting then they would really be surely making those actions on the time that they are seeing their own roosters is winning against the enemy on which punching in the air or jumping or whatever actions you would be making due to excitement could really be seen and would really be totally random.It is really just the same on other gambling or betting games on which your bet is really on the winning side which excitement and boost is there. About into those running times on the time that authority had caught them because of doing illegal match ups or betting then it would really be that something laughable to look or see at but of course they are really that fighting for their lives because once caught then you do know on whats next. 

That's probably why this cockfighting still operates without a permit and can hide from regulators who prohibit it. Bettors can go to locations that only they know to bet on cockfights without worrying about government raids. And indeed, taxes are paid to people who protect cockfights in the area so that bettors can still bet on cockfights. And it is no longer a secret that some officials receive money from betting on cockfights so that they appear to be protecting those who bet on them.

The government may be paying more attention to casinos so that cockfighting, which may only develop in a few areas, is not a concern. Moreover, if they see that there is no big money in cockfighting, they don't want to spend their time looking for cockfighting locations because other places can give bigger money.

So it is normal that in some areas, cockfighting is still popular among bettors, so those in different areas will come to that area just to bet.

Yeah you are right that mate and yes a lot of people still doing right now even though they are aware that is illegal but we can not blame to them as it is their source of happiness cause they think that every fight of their rooster  is the same as they are fighting cause we can see other gamblers throw their punches in the air because of happiness when their rooster hit the opponent. But the best moments in we saw is that when police chase them  cause like what you've said some of them jump into bushes hide in their neighbors house .

Sometime, some gamblers think and act in some wired manner that make us think that they are part of the third world and 1st world civilization stage because most of the games we see in some remote locations.


I have included the possibilities and risks that accompany taking such of open.
