” I bet on … Boss,” said a lad in green boots. He was probably a worker at the palm oil plantation not far from the village. Not many in the village had a good pair of boots such as those.
” I bet omon on this,” said guy in red shirt. He took a fistful of money from his tattered waist bag and threw it on the canvas. His money was folded into two.
“All right, who else? Bet on it, bet, bet. Crab, prawn, fish, moon, vase, flower,” said the bookie provocatively. His face shone brightly hit by the rays of the neon lamp under the tent.
Kupan is a term for a bet; if the image appears on the dice is the same as the bet, then the person wins the equivalent as determined by the bookie. For omon bets, they are paid five times the wager they put at stake.
