Gambling is suppose to be fun, if you find betting on insects fine but for me this is something I have never thought of untill now....and this is way to risk if I think about it because these little guys have a mind of their own.
With our matured age these days, i don't see insect fights are entertaining that we need to even gamble with it. It might give fun for kids because they would just play it for fun just like what we are doing with spiders way back in my childhood days. Putting some bets on insects i think is somewhat pitiful because i know they don't live just to fight each other same with cock fighting.
As i grow older i value the importance of life but for these creatures, they only fight to hunt for foods or to reign for the throne because it is part of their survival. But seeing them play with kids or people to force them to fight and some of them were left for days to starve so that they could fight to the death was a horror imagining they were just being played/controlled by merciless humans.

In our country kids catch spidera and let them fight on a stick. You can also see adults doing the same and guess what, they are betting money with it. The question is, will this kind of gambling catch gamblers attention online?

I can't really see any international online market for spider fights, you would maybe see a few people who will bet a few dollars on a random spider and watch the fight on their screen, but this will be a very small group of people.
  It is more common with gamblers who are not rich enough to bet more with big amount. Only those gamblers who are playing with small bets will play such games either it is a spider or any other insect. It will result in nothing much big profit or earnings but it is clearly wastage of time. Better a gambler use this time in providing services occur in daily life will even result in clear earnings without any stress.

I have never bet on an insect fight and as for me there is no any strategy to predict the winner in such fight. it's a pure lottery.

Without the possibility of training them, yes, this is just like pure lottery. Maybe I will bet only small amount of extra cash if ever we have one in my area. Winning in this fight is pure luck so there's no logical reason to bet a lot on this.
After all, it's unthinkable to bet on insects, this is a game while still a child and they make bets on insects and indeed this is a lottery that cannot be easily predicted. Even though betting on insects is available at a place or whatever it's a gambling place, I'm not sure I will make a bet for insects.

In my town there are ants that only appear once a year and it is common for children to capture one and start a fight against others ants.

San Juan Ants also known as Chicatanas

This made me think ...  What would happen if this took a step forward and stopped being just a children's game?

How would it be if you could bet?
How would the people see it , its just as crazy as a dog or a cock fights?
What do you think?




We don't have ants here in our place but we do have spiders fighting with each other, I watched on one popular documentary TV show, that it's a very lucrative business and players are making $500 a week maintaining these spiders and winnings from spider derby, it's very exciting to watch this spiders fight but itis illegal because some spiders can become extinct in the long run.

This is very common and very popular here in our country, but in recent new here they are forbidding people too do spider fighting which is another common gambling with insects, because some types of spiders are now getting extinct in some area and they don't want that to happen, anyone caught will be charged.

Lol, it's funny, is it even that possible? How will people participate from different place? Have you any idea how to manage that? It would be funny to bet on such fight, I would do.
I think it is a useless fight and cannot happen at all. I have not seen it happening anywhere. People cannot participate from far flung areas and it is not possible even to know which fly you are betting on. I thing an online video game version with many different kinds of flies and having different sizes would work and there could be different levels and hurdles in the game which would be fun to gamble at.

Indeed, it is funny and also it is not possible for people. How could their join this insect game. Actually it is first time when i know about insect fight on live. Before it, i don't know about it, because in my country people don't know about it. That's why it is total strange idea for me.

If there's money to be made here, why not gamblers are very creative when it comes on how to make money in gambling, I will not be surprised if they will involve something like a bug, or lizard or anything that gamblers can make a bet and make money, once a children play can become a gamblers playground.

I guess this type of insect they mean here was a spider fighting gambling game with many patronizers.
During these days, Nah I don't think so. Technology is now getting more advanced and it is in fast pace. It was anticipated that people or let's say bettors, to be more specific, are now less interested on such games. For sure most of them will be more interested betting in MK, Tekken, Street Fighter or other video game competitions rather than this since Gen Z kids can only relate to this lol.

Going back to the question if I will bet on an insect fight?, I may say "Why not" because I think it still fun even though I'm a young adult already; of course I'm interested in everything which involves money Cheesy.

That's a perfect question I heard about betting on an insect, but for me it's not that typical insect which we normally see anywhere. I guess this type of insect they mean here was a spider fighting gambling game with many patronizers. This was practiced by people who played gambling bets through animals like cockfighting, and then they discovered using insects like spider fighting conducted by different owners who had their strong spider breeds. I don't actually bet on this kind, but I do played it for fun during my younger days as a little kid living along with my family at the mountain province.

Lol very funny indeed, I  honestly keep on wondering the possibility of these, it’s really weird and there is literally nothing gamblers will not play with, well that is fun, it’s possible that the players do not even make so much money from this type of gambling., maybe it’s a way of many players coming together to have fun and I believe that this would really be entertaining.

But one thing that I am skeptical about this type of gambling is that the younger generation from the country this is played might not have so much interest since there are newer and better gambling methods, especially now that  there are more crypto casino sites, and most younger gamblers would prefer this.

Ants fighting? Really it is very Laughing subject ever I have seen which is related to gamble. I can not imagine how it will be a gamble ?  Grin Grin Grin If we think about cock fighting and dog fighting even cats fighting is normal but Ants fighting really I can not believe.
Me too. It's my first time to heard about this. I can't believe that this kind of bet is really existing. In my country, we do have cock fighting and that is even legal in our place. But with ants fight, i have never tried playing it even in my childhood years.
Yes, I too haven't heard of it earlier. Cock fighting is quite common in more countries. In my country we've got big tournaments where people come with their cocks giving hard practice and separate foods. Insect fights were entirely new and I'm not sure how they'll make the ants fight. Anyhow I'll participate if it gets listed on leading gambling sites.

I don't know if it will get listed on a gambling site hahah but the San Juan ant season is coming!
Maybe I can catch some kid's playing with the ants and get a little video sample. Because, honestly I never thought that this thread would generate so much interaction.
Please help share a video because I am more than interested in watching. I have been  on imagination to see how this kind of gambling is done, having a video of it would really be nice to me.

I think it would be fun and interesting and I really believe that is the purpose of gambling, to bring bond , unity and fun between families and communities. I am not from a country where they have insect fighting, but If I am ever opportune to visit these countries, the first thing I would do will be to visit a casino center where this is played so that it can be in my history that I have seen a life insect gambling location and also watched.
Im eager to see this san juan ants as well but i do only see some video clips on youtube on how they do really look like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmdghWPMsa8
and thats a hell of a big ant.Dont know how do fights actually look like.I would love to see some video samples.

Well it will appeal to some guys' inner boy. We don't have ants like that where I live but kids in the 90s used to play spider matches a lot. Depending on the season, June beetles fights were also a thing.

I think betting on these is fine but there must be a system in place to assure bettors that games are not rigged. Also, insects are easier to switch with each other (an have shorter lifespan) than horses, so how would bettors be sure that's the spider or beetle that they often bet on?

I think horse races seem more reliable for bettors but from an operator's view, insect matches are easier to organize since they can just stream the match from a smaller venue.



I was never interested in insects as a boy, found them disgusting.  I guess insects matches are much easier for poor people to set up since horses, dogs, and chickens are expensive and you can't really just go find some in the wild.

Even the earthworms my cousin played with disgust me.  Embarrassed

But yes, people would just gather the insects from the fields. This is more a rural pastime that has pretty much disappeared in my area. The "cheapest" combat "sports" men here engage in are cockfights, which is a steep jump of expense compared to spiders.

Now that you mentioned "gathering," I'm wondering if hermit crab matches was ever a thing. If it ever gets in vogue, there'll be a secondary market for pimped up shells, like when there was an hermit crab pet fad in the early 2000s.

Anyone here knows if there were betting on hermit crabs?

That is indeed a very unusual kind of fight. There should be a magnifying glass, so gamblers can watch the fight.
I heard these ants fight against other ants that belong to different colonies or for food. Maybe the organizers of these events pick ants from different areas and let the ants starve for some time to put them together to fight next.
