Yes it's how it works in a traditional cockfighting. But how about online cockfighting? How does the winner deal with their winning and the lossing cock? I'm sure their should be difference between online and traditional cockfighting.
Lol, it's online for bettors only mate while those owners of the cocks are still in the arena doing their thing, preparing the cock for the fight. Owners of the cock and even owners of the arena where the cockfight is being held does not even know that they are "live" online.
Owner the website that caters online cockfight betting just set-up their cameras/gadgets on the arena far from the birds and people as not to destruct them, from what i heard they just pay the owner of the arena just to cover the cockfighting live for their business.
