Whether it's catching rats, taking in rats, or processing these side businesses, they're all just preparation for the real core—rat fighting. That's the zero-cost business, and also the most profitable one.
Which brings us to the second part—rat fighting.
First, the reclaimed Mad Mice have to go through the first round of selection. The healthy, strong ones with potential as fighting rats are picked out and fed with those skinned, raw rats.
Once enough have been gathered—say ten—the first preliminary is held. All ten are thrown into a rat arena, and the fight only ends when only half of them are still alive.
All ten rats get painted markings with numbers on their bodies so they can be told apart, and so the bettors have clear targets to put their money on.
Leaving half means the win chance is basically fifty-fifty, the minimum bet isn't high, so the odds aren't great either—just something for everyone to play around with.
