Just what I was thinking. What would be the point of cock fighting without gambling on the outcome?

Up our way, the cops run the cock fighting scene and supply the security. Some serious money involved on fight days. Top fighting cocks in the country can be worth 2 mil. Seriously.

Too many cocks spoil the broth .

They could also have dog fights, bull fights, ratting, and Thai girl fights.

Same in Huay Yai, on a Saturday and Sunday there is normally about 3-400 people at the event, and it is all organised by the local mafia police. They control the gambling too, makes sense as the venue is not far from their casino.

Every Saturday and Sunday at the animal section of Chatuchak weekend market, you can see police officers gamble on cock fights.

The local police maffia is running it.

[Chang_paarp]

There are specific days that they are allowed to have cock fights, one day a week for the official locations. That is what the licence is for, to keep the competition to a minimum. The operator of this one thought that being a police volunteer would mean he did not have to pay the renewal.

So they really have a cock fighting license here ?

Why cant they just make gambling legal then and make a gambling license available for bookmakers in Thailand ?
