Spider fight? What is with all these animal fight threads recently? Why the sudden surge in interest here? Who in their right mind would be able to train and bet on insects like ants, spiders etc?
Honestly, everyone know that no one takes these fights seriously. These fights are reserved for fun and nothing else.
There's no training required for that kind of fight. Just mere luck of the insect. I guess.
And yes, spider fight is more of children's game. I haven't seen adults betting in this kind of fight. But witnessed that a long time ago, in my younger years. This is more of entertainment than betting.
In my place, there's still some teenager or adult hunting spider near the farm, they sold it to the kids for 5-10 pesos each ($0.097-$0.39) and sometimes they betting on it for fun.
PS: Spider is not an insect. It's a group of animal called "arachnids".
