What attracts people to sabong?

[okichacha]

I was thinking that a lot of people are skeptical or even negative towards sports betting. But sabong is thriving and many people bet on roosters. How does this even work if both things are basically the same kind of betting?

I think people are attracted by the same things as in casinos and other bets. Emotions are what everything is based on. And why is sabong still relevant? Who knows. I think the fact that it’s part of Filipino culture and historical heritage works really well. A completely different attitude, even though in reality it’s the same as sports betting.

The fact that it’s something historical, cultural, traditional actually distracts a bit from the fact that it’s still just betting, only not on sports, but on something else. When there’s a cultural background, a lot of people forget their sharply negative feelings. By the way, the sites for betting on fights are good now, for example lucky-sabong.com. I like it, simple, clear. I place a bet, watch the fight, wait for the results. The ease also makes it appealing. People don’t like to deal with complicated stuff for too long.
