FF7 Chocobo BETTING Guide - Farming GP On Disk 1! Final Fantasy 7 Walkthrough

Once you get to racing with your own Chocobo rather than betting on the CPU, do you have to pay any Gil or GP to enter a race personally?

Way too much gil for too little reward and on top of it rng screwing me over taking out all the bronze ones making it harder to predict, wasted too much gil and the few ones I've won I only get 15 GP in return instead of 50. Playing it on switch version. JESUS CHRIST I HAVE BEEN THROUGH 5 GAMES WITHOUT A SINGLE BRONZE JOCKEY IS THIS A JOKE?
I love this game but it can suck so bad sometimes with all these mechanics and gimmicks crammed in rather than being story focused.

Дякую. Дуже корисний гайд.

doesnt seem right....im 0-8 right now. bronze has been winning a ton

How does he have so much money

This definitely isn't full proof, but it can be consistent at times. AND, very good info on how the betting works... and if you have alot of gil and the 3× speed feature, you will still earn GP quite fast.... 10 minutes of betting and I EASILY had enough GP to rack up battle points and get omnislash! DISC 1 👍.. great video thanks 👍

This is THE reference for this mini game- Thank you Bro .

Had race with 4 bronze and still none came in first 2 places.

I watched this video, did one bet and got a megaelixir that gave 300 gp and was good to go for the rest of the game in one go. 😂😂

How you get 1.5 million gil so early

TIP: If Joe and his black Chocobo, Teioh, appears (none in C, rarely in B, occasionally in A, frequently in S), always bet on him. The mountain and river part of the track don’t slow him down.

Late on this video but is it possible to get Magic Counter on disk 1?

Why you cant bet 6.1 6.2 and so on?

🏀 works better😂😅

Gah, my jockeys don't even look like that.... they are little dudes with baseball caps...

Depending on the won items that get traded, you can get like 300 GP in a single win. Depending on how strong Cloud is (level 45+ with level 3 materias and an enemy skill materia with Big Guard and Aqualung makes this quite easy) and how well you know the game, 100GP is more than enough to get the BP needed. Most matches will average a little over 10-11k BP, so it only took me 5 runs, with no failed attempts. Make sure you get good at manipulating the slots for the best results. Also, if you're able to complete the Wutai side quest first, then you can very easily farm X-potions from enemies around Wutai. Bringing 20 or so of them with you will also make the battle square more trivial to beat. You may be able to farm them without doing the quest if you avoid the trigger spot for Yuffie to steal your materia. If you already have the W-item materia, then just dupe elixirs.

failed the first 3 attempts but so far havent lost since, just had a wild one with 3 bronze and 2 non-bronze sprinters, turned out to be a short course, put the bet with the non-sprinter paired with the sprinters, all for a tranq..

Amazing guide, my only problem is I just encountered a bet where I ran into 4 bronze riders. I figured to bet off stats at that point for the 3rd bet but was wondering what you or others would recommend in that situation.

Thanks for this tutorial. Very helpful.

My first race following your system. Theres 1 bronze rider and he even has the lowest speed, obviously out, I bet on the three with the highest speed...... The Bronze with the lowest speed in the race won......

Thank you this is immediately helpful.

Very nice... will do this before I move on from the golden saucer haha.

They just have changed Itq

No 🏀 😂😅

Looking forward to trying this theory

tried this bet on over 20 races won twice gave up i'll just wait till i breed a gold chobo

OMG ive completed this game about 70 times and i never could figure ouf how tonwin chocobo races, i literally just got 3 bronze jockeys so bet on the other 3 and WON!! This guide is 🔥🔥🔥 Thankyou so much really appreciate it 🕺👍💙

I can’t believe this was so helpful! I figured betting on the ones with the highest product of stamina and speed was the way to go, and I wasn’t winning any till I went with this. I’d say I win 3 out of 4 times with this - thanks dude.

playing on pc version modded with 7th heaven (no major gameplay mods, just graphics and a few QoL options), I lost my first 3 races.... but then won 7 in a row before losing again. Good method!

i won 3 times in a row and it lowered the GP it gave every time

Won't work for me on PC, lost 8/10 races :(

Thank you so much got 200 gp in 3 sessions!!!

Im telling you right now this don’t work on xbox series x in 2023

20 races and not one single win yet…

Thanks

You don’t consider stamina!

Thanks for the video. But, Jesus, It was too difficult to understand your accent. As a non-native English speaker, I had to listen multiple times to figure out the words.

wasted thousands before realizing you actually have to select the numbers... thought all had to do is have the cursor over the plate then start... fml.

ta mere la gogole

Used your method for 20 races, won 2. Ouch.

Isnt there the gil-gp trader on the entrance in disk 1?

Wow this strategy works quite well. I was doing it so much I ran out of gil and only was able to bet 2 boxes on my last try but I won and was given 150GP!!

I won 2 of the 6 games I played using this so far. So only 33% for me at the moment.

i needed this tutorial. thank you so much!

I just got a race with all 6 bronze jockeys lol

I’ve heard/seen so many different ‘strategies’ and they all end practically the same.
RNG.

There probably influence on stats, etc however. But not much.
The prevailing theory is ‘highest stamina wins 1 out of 3 times’. I’ve had losing streaks go up to almost 12 with this theory.
Then it’s ‘highest stam and highest speed’, and I’ve had equal results.

I think there is a level of RNG that occurs each time.
Where every 2-4 races, stats determine the winner.

I get that they wouldn’t want a definitive formula to prevail for any of these games, so RNG needs to play a role…
But I also believe that there is a certain level of ‘unfinished’ programming that also exists. (I.E. 3D fighter)

I won 150gp for one bet in c class don't waste time with b class betting

Thanks. I won a megaelixir on first try. 300 gp, nice
