The war between insects is always a battle for life. When you try to create artificial conflicts to create your own benefits is a bad thing that goes against the laws of nature. I disagree with your idea.
This isn't the idea of OP.

But this happens in the reality.
Correct, in reality this event is really happening, there's certain country who loves and enjoy betting with this type of gamble, this insects have to suffer their own lives in order to satisfied the gamblers lust of gambling, they needed to fight against each others and to decide who's gonna win, one must die to declared the other one as a winner.
That's the reality.

And out of those matches, there's a big pot of money at stake for the people who are interested with this kind of match.

I only saw insect fights on star war series. Cheesy

If it is reality then it is not preferred by many gamblers that is why it is not so popular game to bet on.

it be interesting to see a gambling site where be bet on insects. spider fight is very common in the philippines, kinda like a cock fight here and those who are fond of it knew the rules about the game. i however don't think there will be a lot of bettors since this isn't like MMA where wee know the status of the fighters.

For this reason it could succeed in countries where animal fights are already popular. In countries where dog fights are banned and people aren't used to seeing animals fight even insect fights wouldn't become popular. There would be a lot of people against it and they would ultimately ban it from public display.
I don't know what to think of it. I'm against dog fights so this is wrong and cruel too.

yes we do have it when fiestas. people bet which spider falls 3 times loses on the stick or they can have a rule like til death. these spiders are vicious they can fight til they wrap their opponents for consumption. i use to collect these kind of spiders when i was just 12. i sell these spiders to my rich schoolmates, these spiders sometimes cost half a dollar if they find it rare. that is already a huge amount for me.

It may be absurd but I already did.

At that time I am just a child and at that time, we usually go to a grassland near the foot of a mountain and find spiders. We use it to fight to other person with spider and bet on it. We bet money, sometimes toys and also spiders too. If I am not mistaken, there are bugs that fight too. In my country it is hard to find one and we usually end up finding spiders but not bugs.
I am glad you already admitted that it is absurd, I would say it is  weird and would have as well said inhuman but I remember you mentioned playing while you were much younger.

I want to assume you wouldn’t partake in this type of terrible game again ever, with the varieties of more interesting games that have be made available for us to choose from. I just feel we are not been fair to animals by making them partake in fights just for our personal interest and entertainment, we have to also put ourselves in their own shoes and see how it would feel.

Do these bugs fight to the death?  If so, how long does that take?  If not, how would you determine the winner?

People will really gamble on anything, and I have learnt this fact on bitcointalk.  Betting on insect fights has got to be a new low however.  Not that I think it's particularly cruel but it is a very strange concept in my head.  Such a thing wouldn't be something I would wager on, nor would I gamble on animal fights.  Those I do think are cruel.

Hell yeah, even the roosters are allowed to be fighting with each other here on our place and so many people bet on each sides and there are millions of money involved in it. Any fights can be have bets on them as long as there is fairness in it. In our home town there are people taking care of a small fish called " fighting fish" and they put them to a fight with real money bets on them. I guess the imagination of humans are unimaginable if we talk about betting, we just can't get over even with even tiny animals and other living organisms have to put bets on.

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?
Do we came from the same country? Lol. Anyway, when i was a child I once hunt spiders every night (because we believe thag they're easier to catch during night time) on my province and match them up on the next day. Some of the naughty kids along my neighborhood play with involving money but I refuse to do such thing during those times because I'm a good boy and strictly follow parental advice. Ahh, the good old days!

Anyway, the use of crypto can be applied here if and only if will be only under the table transactions. I mean, it's like "if you win then give me your btc address and I'll send the payment, after that we're good". Online gambling? I don't think it will work because 1) there is no association who handle such kind of game thus we can still consider it as illegal 2) Animal welfare activists will get mad and say it's a form of animal cruelty 3) These insects are seasonal thus there would be a struggle for creating matches.

So whats unethical on that?people.tend to find something to make fun and insects are.mostly bringing us itchiness and bites so theres an instance that we use them as joyful materials or sometimes gambling instruments, and who cares about their intelligence? Would that bring you something to become happy?lol
Insect fight is popular in some countries, it is gambling and I guess you are also aware of cock fights.

This is a first time i am hearing about the Insect fight and i will be very interesting to see this fight live.  I have seen many cock fights and it is popular sports in our country.  Betting is cock fight is a growing trend in our society.
Insect isn't popular in your country whilst in other countries like mine, there's a fight like this.

And the bet here in my locale isn't too much, mostly kids play this fight and the stake is their other insect pet.

I never like the idea of doing gambling for things which involve living things life. I feel really angry and sad when people enjoying Insect Fighting and cock fighting and  betting on them on who will survive.

How could anyone be happy on the expense of the life of a living animal ? Sad

I would totally do it too!. Sounds like a pretty interesting entertainment when you absolutely have nothing else to do. Never crazy high bets tho.

With animals i wouldn't do it. But so far it's not really proven that insects actually feel like animals or like us.

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?

It would be more crazier than this, I mean crazier than cock fights not dog fights because that would be illegal you fool. Dogs are man's bestfriend not just some kind of animal that you would put into a fight and you would place your bet, grow up dude. Betting on insect fights is very childish, and the chances of losing is very high, you don't even know the capability of a certain insect if it could really fight, unlike in cock fighting, you could train the cock that you are going to put in the arena, at least you have some grounds on winning if you really train your cock so hard(lol), don't get the wrong idea.

It might not be that bad if you are just going to bet a little amount of money like it was really just for fun, and not bet big amount of money like treating it like a real big game.

I haven't seen flying ants before. How do you even attempt to organize these fights when the contestants can just take off and fly away lol? Are there special fight cages for ants?
