Chum
One thing that most pirates love is gambling. While the crew is usually not allowed to gamble on the ship, as it can cause deadly confrontation, there is no restriction one they get to dry land. Its easy for a crewmember to find somethign to gamble on the Haram Bay but one of the favorite places is Chum, where they can bet on pit fights.
Chum is litaerally a pit, dug into the ground, with a cage set up around it. Outside the cage is room for people to stand and watch the fight inside. Chester Copper runs the gambling operation here and has several people working for him taking bets on the outcome of the fights.
The fights are usualyl quick, brutal and bloody, and there is no shortage of people wanting to get in the pit. If is a quick awy to make money for pirates that have spent all thiers, and know little else but how to fight. The place is named Chum as it goes through many newcomers fast.
History

When Dain took control of the Bay, he organized a group to put up the cage as the fights tended to spill form the pit inoto the streets at time. Once it was establushed, it wasn;t long before the betting was organized. Chester was not the only one takign bet here at first, but he managed to musle all the others out.
