Online Sabong Betting | Live & Virtual Fights at S888

Online sabong is the online version of the traditional cockfights where bettors place bets on the fighting roosters pitted in the cockpit. There are some notable differences between traditional sabong and online sabong, with some of them being the following:

Breeders can’t pit their own roosters in online matches
Online sabong exists as both live matches and RNG-based virtual games

Currently, a lot of bettors opt to bet on live matches online as the experience effectively mimics what they experience in actual cockpits.

Live Online Sabong Betting

Live sabong works thanks to live streams of matches or pre-recorded fights broadcasted by a gaming provider. Some platforms host their own matches as an extension of their traditional setup while most rely on providers for the streams. S888 relies on Diamond Sabong 88 for its live offerings.

All DS88 matches are fast-paced and bettors only see the ruweda and the match itself to limit the downtime between matches. Traditional matches will typically consist of the ulutan, ruweda, and the fight stages but DS88 handles the ulutan off-screen.

Ulutan

The ulutan is the pre-match where organizers pair up gamefowls. The pairings are based on the birds’ height, weight, size, and wingspan. These criteria are followed to ensure that a match is as fair as possible.

The organizers also outfit the birds with blades during this stage.

Ruweda

The ruweda is the stage when organizers display the two birds for the audience to see. Bettors also place their bets during this stage and they should seriously consider which bird they’ll bet on by checking the birds’ health and their respective breeds. Some breeds are naturally good at fighting than others and some just have certain traits that make them better against other breeds.

To improve a bettor’s chances of winning their bets, they’ll need to look closely at the condition of the participating birds. These include their physical appearance, their health, their breed, and their energy.

The ruweda is the only time when bets are collected. The three bets that players can make are Meron, Wala, and Draw.

Fight

The fight proper starts once the ruweda ends. No more bets will be collected at this time and the two birds are then dropped into the pit. The match lasts for a maximum of ten minutes and it ends in a draw when a match isn’t resolved within ten minutes.

The match operates according to the following rules:

1. Bets placed on Meron or Wala are rendered void when the match ends in a draw.
2. Any disruptions on the match will result in all bets being refunded. These disruptions include the following:
Server-side network issues that disrupt the livestream
Player-side network fluctuations or timeouts
3. A match ends in a draw when one of the following occur:
No gamefowl pecks or hits twice during the Carreo
No winner is declared after ten minutes has elapsed
The gamefowl’s knife is damaged
The gamefowls’ tapes are positioned incorrectly
The gamefowls’ entry names are displayed incorrectly
4. Skipped or duplicate fight IDs are normal and will not affect betting.
5. Bets placed on outcomes with odds lower than 1 will be canceled and refunded.
6. All valid bets cannot be cancelled once placed.
7. Draw odds are always at 1:8
8. Skipped or duplicated fight ID numbers do not affect a match

The Carreo mentioned in the rules occurs when one bird no longer seems like it can continue fighting. The two birds are separated and lifted up to face each other within pecking distance. The bird that pecks twice is the winner and the match ends in a draw when no bird pecks twice.

Virtual Online Sabong Betting

S888 also operates several different virtual betting options through some of the most well-known slot machine providers in the industry. JILI and KingMidas operate similar virtual sabong options that rely on RNG for two digital birds to fight. These birds fight one another as if they’re in a fighting video game like Tekken and bettors place bets just like how they do in live sabong.

S888 Live also offers a more arcade-like sabong option where bettors will have access to a lot more bets. This option is from Rich88 and it operates differently from traditional sabong matches. The notable mechanics are as follows:

Chickens are assigned three lives each
Chickens take turns attacking each other
A match consists of a maximum of five rounds each
Chickens can dodge attacks
Chickens normally deal one life damage per attack
Chickens can inflict critical damage that deals more than one life damage
These different mechanics introduce new bets to place which include the following:
Ultimate Skill
Score
Odd/Even
Correct Score
Big/Small Score

Some of the bets look like they’re picked up from sports betting and these bets still make sense since a match can end with both birds still having lives. The game itself becomes a points-based game where the bird that inflicts the most damage wins.
