No, big business betting on crickets and other insects. Here is a lobby card from the 1960 movie "Walk Like a Dragon." starring Jack Lord. Two pictures below. There are at least two crickets inside the white circle. One is at the 12:00 position (near the currency). Another is at about the 7:00 position (also near some currency). I take it that you bet on a particular cricket, and the one that reaches the white circle line first wins. (I keep my lobby cards in alphabetical order, so I figured I might as well treat you all to the card next to it -- a strip poker lobby card from the 1979 "The Wanderers," starring Ken Wahl and Karen Allen.
