Before entering the arena, make sure to have at least 36 Ryo to be able to purchase 3600 Kifuda (Wooden Tags) which is the item you will use to place bets in the race.

Try to do a few of the Sub Stories to earn the minimum amount (36 Ryo) you need to start farming money at the Chicken Race.

Save before entering the arena.

Once you have farmed 36 Ryo, save your game outside the Chicken Race Arena. Then, go inside and buy 3600 Kifuda to start betting. Afterwards, place your bets by following the betting cycle below.

Betting Cycle

Start betting on the chickens via the Dividend List and set your bet at 300 points each x 12 ways (triplets). Try to get a total of at least 10,800 points in winnings. Then, use your accumulated points to bet on all 5 chickens in the series.

If you lose all your money in the Chicken Race, just reload your save and try again. Do this until you are satisfied with your winnings.
