I don't gamble, but used to go to cock fights 40 years ago to skin out the necks for tying flies. One of the funniest things I ever saw was at a cock fight, and it involved a "handler" who was pushing 300 lbs and wearing double-knit slacks and a fired up cock wearing razor sharp spurs. The "handler" jumped into the ring and grabbed his bird that was getting whipped and held it over his head. The other bird climbed the "handlers" leg in a flash with the spurs like a lineman going up a telephone pole in an attempt to get the bird above his head. The "handler" started screaming like a little girl as the blood saturated his double knit slacks in large round spots where he was spurred as he beat at the rooster on his leg with the bird in his hands. In the end there were no winners, only two dead roosters and a sorely injured "handler". What a show!!!
