Gambling bilyonaryo Atong Ang revealed that he takes in between P1 billion and P2 billion in bets every day for round-the-clock, on-line cockfighting or E-Sabong.
Ang revealed this mind boggling amount of bets from E-Sabong during the Senate investigation on 31 missing cockfighters allegedly abducted from cockpits operated by Ang’s Lucky 8-Pitmasters franchise.

Ang said he gets five percent from the gross bets which would amount to P100 million a day or P3 billion per month.
Ang said his rival E-Sabong operators receive a combined P500 million in gross bets a day.
“Depende po sa araw yan. Malakas po sa Friday and Saturday.,” said Ang.
In contrast, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. Chair Andrea Domingo told senators that the government received an average of P400 million revenues from the seven E-Sabong operators last year.
