Logro is the cockpit’s word for called odds, and it belongs to a world where online e-sabong has been suspended nationwide since 3 May 2022. Executive Order No. 9, signed by President Marcos on 28 December 2022, directed that the suspension continue and left traditional licensed cockfights outside it. The definitions of bettor and bet taker in the Cockfighting Law of 1974 give the legal setting for the words below, and this page gives the vocabulary only.
Logro meaning: the called odds between bettors
In the pit the bet taker calls the bets before the fight starts. The logro is the odds he calls: it says how the two sides of a bet are matched against each other. Section 4(c) of the decree defines the bet taker or promoter as a person who calls and takes care of bets from owners of gamecocks and other bettors before ordering the fight to begin, and who afterwards distributes won bets to the winners after deducting a certain commission.
The decree’s description of the bet taker’s job runs in four steps:
- Calls the bets of gamecock owners and other bettors.
- Takes care of those bets.
- Orders the cockfight to begin.
- Distributes the won bets to the winners after deducting a certain commission.
The decree gives no numbers for any of this. This page gives none either: the called odds are agreed in the pit between bettors, and no sum, percentage or ratio on this site tells you what a bet pays.
The pit vocabulary in one table
| Word | Plain meaning | Who it describes |
|---|---|---|
| Logro | The odds called between bettors | The bet as a whole |
| Parehas | Even odds, both sides matched equally | The bet as a whole |
| Llamado | The favoured side in the call | One bettor’s bird |
| Dehado | The side the pit does not favour | The other bettor’s bird |
| Bet taker or promoter | Calls and takes the bets; licensed yearly under Section 7 | The pit official |
| Sentenciador | The referee, who announces the winner or declares a tie or no contest | The pit official |
Parehas meaning
Parehas meaning is “even”: neither side of the bet is asked to give anything up. When the pit calls parehas, there is no favoured side in the call, which is the baseline for the other words in the table.
How llamado and dehado relate
To read a call, work through three questions:
- Did the pit call parehas? Then neither side is favoured.
- If not, which bird is the llamado? That bettor holds the favoured side.
- The other bettor holds the dehado side.
Llamado and dehado always come as a pair. When the odds are not parehas, one side is the llamado and the other is the dehado, and the logro describes how far the call leans. Neither word changes who wins: the referee’s decision, announced as winner, tie or no contest, does that.
Logro sabong: where the word is used
People type logro sabong when they hear the word at a cockpit and want to know what it means. The word belongs to bets between people in a licensed pit. It has no meaning on this site beyond vocabulary, and the site gives no betting instructions for any form of sabong.
| Role | Decree term | Where it is defined |
|---|---|---|
| The person who calls the odds and takes the bets | Bet taker or promoter | Section 4(c) |
| The person who bets | Bettor | Section 4(f) |
| The person who arms the birds | Gaffer (taga tari) | Section 4(d) |
| The person who decides and announces the result | Referee (sentenciador) | Section 4(e) |
The decree names the bettor too: a person who participates in cockfights and, with money or other things of value, bets with other bettors or through the bet taker. To see where such a pit stands in law, read the sabungan and cockpit arena rules on where the pit may stand, and for the word used for a fight outside one, read the tupada meaning for unlicensed cockfights.
FAQ
What is the logro meaning in cockfighting?
Logro is the called odds between bettors in the pit, announced by the person who calls and takes the bets. It tells each side what the other side is willing to cover. The word is pit vocabulary, not a term PD 449 defines.
What is the parehas meaning in sabong?
Parehas means even, so a parehas call is even odds between the two sides. It is the plain case against which llamado and dehado are described.
What is the difference between llamado and dehado?
Llamado is the side the pit favours, and dehado is the side it does not. When the called odds are not even, the two words tell you which bettor is on which end of the call.
