Do you have the same situation like this in your country where gambling operators are not getting the same treatment?
People's views and opinions on things could be so funny, and if you are telling the truth about this then the only reason for the difference between the two is that one is played electronically played while the other is played physically. Perhaps, those who are playing it electronically may be wagering their money and come back for the results after a long period of time without any entertaining gathering like that of the cockpit. Of course, Lotto gambling is such that people do not use high money to play in most cases because it is a good money multiplier itself, and if the player wins once, it will be worth the stress and the past time of losses.
But for the cockpit, I believe that it is more local and since it is a physical event that is entertaining because those cocks fighting alone is fun on its own, and you have people around you to make it more pleasing. People can be carried away by the fun and even wager more while they laugh, gist and even drink as side attractions. Honestly, if I am close to that place, I might be forced to go there once in a while to entertain myself, it's just like a bullfight. This kind of event has many benefits and can also relieve your stress among others. But you have to use your head wisely at the same time.
Above all, it is never the fault of the cockpit owner but the gamblers who can't control themselves. No one is forced into either of the gambling arrangements, it is those women and other people complaining that should warn their husbands and subjects not to wager too high, not that people would be stigmatizing the cockpit and the owner.
