Well, for me animal fighting is not fun and should not be use as tool for gambling. But if it's not prohibited by the Government, these people won't stop using animal, because as you've said it's fun for those who are engaging themselves in this kind of activity. Anyway, in our country, cock fighting is quite popular especially here in our place. Many men elders are taking care of rooster as business (they sell it when ready) or use it for fighting for their own satisfaction. We have an arena where cock fighting is held, it's legal. Recently they even had a promotion called "fastest kill" and the prize is $600 plus a brand new motorcycle.

I it happens only in my country. But it turns out that many other countries have the same customs. In my area there are also cockfighting enthusiasts. But I don't know for sure if they gambled or just to raise the price of their chicken because they managed to win.
In addition there is indeed a merchant who owns a farm near me. DIa offers the chicken a lot on various social media. The chickens he sells also have the criteria of good chickens that are commonly used for fighting. If this had become a habit, it would seem that it would be difficult to cross this habit.

@AakZaki, we are very familiar with cockfighting. in almost all provinces in our country, cockfighting gambling must exist even though it has become illegal. even if you know, in Bali. Cockfighting is not a gamble, but a religious ritual. Cockfighting in Bali is a sincere sacrifice for the Bhata Khala. and how the prices of fighting cocks are very high.

Cockfighting is also one of the ancient gambling game in my country. Though they are not performed as a religious ritual, many people are so fond of watching these two fowl fight to the death. Maybe it is part of human nature to watch animals fighting each other since I have seen several gambling games involving two male of the same specie fighting each other to death or whoever dominates the fight win like horse fighting where two stallions are forced into a scenario of fighting to mate since a mare is also presented Here is a sample video on how the two stallion fight each other to get the right to mate with the mare[1].

There is also this gamble that involves insects and reptiles. Like Spider fighting like this one[2] seen on youtube. This might be less brutal because the spider has a chance to run away but still, sometimes spiders are killed in this gambling activity.

There are other types of gambling, I'm sure you are also familiar. the dog fights with the wild boar, how the wild boar will be beaten by several dogs as a fighting opponent. just like a match in the ring, one wild boar fights with 2-3 dogs at a time, until someone becomes a victim. this gambling is also very familiar in our country, isn't it, as entertainment for the village community.

This kind of gambling game is too brutal. It involves a bloody battle between animals. It is fine it is a course of nature but pitting 3 dogs against 1 boar in a close cage is. That gives no chance to a wild boar because it is against 3 dogs and no way to run. I believe this kind of gambling has been banned from several countries because of its brutality.

However, in this era. betting involving fighting animals is no longer relevant and has become an illegal activity. culture and traditions like this, must be abandoned. now we have casinos that are more relevant as entertainment, without having to sacrifice those animals that actually have the right to live freely.

I greatly agree animal lovers find this act brutal and any perpetrator should be punished by law. Imagine, putting our place in the wild boars situation where we are put in a close cage against 3 lions? I bet we cannot find excitement and entertainment in that scenario.
