A great insight to cockfighting by both Eddy and Jenni.
One word of warning !
If you go to a cockfight and you will here the eruption of "Lasal Lasal Lasal" (correct me Eddy if that is wrong please) you might feel predisposed to have a little wager. Just remember to keep it small. I am aware that if a tourist bets big amounts then u end up with a "fine cotton affair".
That is to say that the two opposing owners of the cocks will give each other a wink and then on one of the cocks the sharp blade (spur) is adjusted in such a way thus rendering it useless and the result is assured with the two owners splitting the differnece of the cash booty lost by the tourist.
If this is true? Then I reckon it is poetic justice, as nothing better than seeing a tourist flashing enourmous amounts of money and then being one upped by the locals.
