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

[@Tacticslion]

Thank you for demystifying such and obscure and weird minigame! Most advice sources just say, "Don't bother - do something else." so I was really happy you did this! Thank you!

[@RaebEeffoc]

This helped me so much in my New Threat mod run. I was trying to get sets of Sneak Attacks and Cat's Bell on the first visit to Gold Saucer and managed it with this guide. It's not perfect but it significantly improves the odds

[@GabrielShakkori]

New threat mod run? Whats that

[@tagnarth]

I was skeptical at first but damn this works rather well. 9 out of 10 races I bet on won. 3 of them got me megalixers. So much GP to use at the battle arena

[@stillamitchinmybook6320]

How?? Dude after 30 races I finally won 1 match. And got a whopping 5 gp and that was the 200 gil bet… it must be updated or something..

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.

[@mr7oclock346]

I think you currently have the only KZbin video that explains chocobo betting. Note Normally Enemy Away can be a B clads reward but I've never seen that award available on betting in B class during disc 1. Betting is pretty useless on Disc 2 and 3 because you'll be able to race your own chocobo then

[@lunchbagrodriguez]

thank you! I've been searching everywhere for a comprehensive guide but they just didn't seem to exist! this helped so much!

[@andywagner212]

Nice explanation bud. I'll be trying this out. Actually just got to the gold saucer for the first visit. Never could understand how the betting worked. The game never explained what the numbers represented on the bets.

Thx mate, most guides just say "wait until you race yourself" but if you want to get omni and/or XP+ when aerith is still around you have to do it on disc 1 Helped a lot edit if you put some "thougt" to it its clear but only after you explaind it and i did a vew bets i understood best Platin(blue) second Gold third Silver last Bronze

so here a little insight of my win and looses the ones in caps are the looses often when ther was no bronze or more platin(Blue) ones gold blue gold silver PLATIN PLATIN GOLD SILVER gold platin gold sliver blue blue blue blue GOLD BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE SILVER blue silver SILVER SILVER(against a blue) BLUE SILVER BLUE SILVER GOLD BLUE sad was, i only wonn items woth max 50 gp mostly 5-15 did notz have the luck to get ether or x- pot "good" for me no need for the 2000 gp caus at my moint the xp + is not jet avadable

[@TruecarioZ]

Wow, never won this, immediately after watching this I won, thankyou so much

[@danhaden9933]

I always get omni on disc 1 but im quite good at the basketball game so i get the double up a few times then im good to go. Never tried this thou will test this on my next playthrough. Thx mate.

Thanks to this method I was able to win two Turbo Ether races, netting me a total of 300 GP in just two races!

@4:06 “the color of the jock - sorry the color of the jockey matters” This would have made chocobo betting extremely interesting and uncomfortable. lol

I won over 700 gp using this method and was able to win enough in battle square to get the omnislash on disc 1. I only needed 80 gp to get that on battle square and have more than enough left to go after championship belts and speed plus materia.

[@landon1812]

Nice video, really helped make this mini game easier to understand. But I've noticed that the amount of GP can be random, I was trying out this method and somehow I got 150 GP from one race which is insane. It's half the amount of winning the 3d boxing game in the arcade so I just I put it out there.

[@stillamitchinmybook6320]

Well it must be something random going on cuz after 30 plus bets I finally won 1 using this method… and got a whooping 5gp… and thats on a 200 gil bet

[@aic8326]

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!

[@jedifabiano930]

This method definitely works when there are bronze riders in a 3-3 split but when almost all are bronze it’s random or none of them are bronze it’s speed fersure

[@AriadneDionysus]

I seriously doubted you but this method is pretty legit. I just won 3 races in a row!

[@danieljstanley5547]

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

[@agnastthrower5212]

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.

While THIS Is ENTIRELY LUCK-BASED, You DO Get Some GOOD AMOUNTS Of GP If You Manage To Have A Winning Ticket! I Only Did The Chocobo Betting A Few Times For Some Of The Items And Some Extra GP.

I’m probably not even going to play FF7 again (until I’m retired, and have free time & nostalgia to spare I suppose) but I felt very satisfied listening to your explanation. 👌🏾 I don’t remember if I ever understood how the betting worked as a kid, but upon watching this video I distinctly remembered always expecting the Chocobo that was doing the sprinting animation, rather than the slower running animation, at the bet select screen was going to be the winner. I now wonder if there’s a correlation between that animation, and the rider/stats.
