---------------------------------
One of the things I have never done before in Final Fantasy 7 is picking up Omnislash on disk one. The problem is that you need plenty of GP to take with you to the Battle Square and before Chocobo breeding becomes available on disk 2 there are few options to choose from for farming for it.
I have tried the Wonder Square and the games there are either too slow or too inconistent to win large amounts of GP in a short a time as possible. The dude that sells GP for gold at the entrance of the Gold Saucer can not appear until disk 2.
However, thanks to some tips shared by my treasured viewers on live stream I now know of a way to farm a healthy amount of GP from BETTING (not breeding which isn't available) at the Chocobo races!
Here is the trick.
1. Exclude betting on any bronze (they kinda look reddish brown) jockeys. Even if they have the best stats.
2. With the chocobos left in the decision making pool, choose the three with the highest speed stats.
3. If the stats are similar, choose based on the color of the jockeys. Platinum (grey) - Gold (yellow) - Silver (blue).
*NOTE*. In my experience, the Chocobos that are in a sprinting animation on the betting screen will lose on the long course but have an advantage on the short course.
If you have any further tips then please do share in the comments :)

I think you currently have the only KZfaq 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

Followed this guide, unfortunately its not working for me, did 10 races picking the fastest racers, ignoring bronze jockeys, and won 1 race out of the 10 getting a miserly 5 GP. on 1 race the slowest racer at 89km came in 1st. feels like the odds are stacked against you. playing PS4 version on a PS5.

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

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!

@NightOfTheLiving8bit Жыл бұрын

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.

@agnastthrower5212 5 ай бұрын

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.

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?

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.

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.
