How to unlock the Infowlable achievement in Sleeping Dogs - Definitive Guide

I'm not convinced there's a pattern to the fights, despite everyone listing stuff above. I went to the Kennedy docks and did 14 maximum bet matches in a row, recording each result to compare it to the strategies above.

Supersulan's "bet on specific fighter names" strategy: 5 wins, 4 loss, 5 matches where neither chicken had any of the names he mentioned
GORBASH CELT's breed rock-paper-scissors strategy: 1 win, 13 losses
Always bet on Black: 7 wins, 7 losses
Always bet on the Underdog (listed in the UKGamingBureau video above): 4 matches where they had the same wins, 5 wins, 5 losses

So basically we have three strategies that seem to be basically random chance, and the breed strategy failed bigtime. Since some people have reported success with the breed strategy, I don't think the strategy is exactly wrong--I just think the whole thing is random chance.

I agree. It is all random. I have bet on the highest winner 5 times and it one once. Bet on the lowest wins and it won twice. Glad someone else has found it to be just random.

The fights are random but there's a mathematical way to turn the odds in your favor. Go to the Kennedy cite. Bet $50K. If you win, save and bet $50K again. If you lose, bet $100K. The odds are in your favor that you will win one of the two. If you lose both revert to a save--you'll have to make your way back from the safe house to the cock fight but you will systematically increase your winnings.

Cockfights are displayed on the map as orange roosters. This is located to the far left of the map, see video below. This achievement is luck based. I suggest making a save just before you speak to the guy in front of the cockfight arena just in case you lose. There are a couple other cockfight locations. But this one would be the best place to obtain this. The other cockfight arenas have a money cap. Unlike the one in the video you can place a minimum bet of $50, 000.

NOTE: To be able to enter in this cockfight you must first have at least $50, 000. As that's the minimum beat you can place. This is also a good way to get quick money.

Here is a great video guide by Kal_El on how to unlock this achievement.

This might not be totally accurate but it worked for me.
When picking fighter the names where key for me Sun Tzu, Dou Gan Ai and Chow Tai always won for me.
This will make the Gold challenge for winning a million alot easier if it works for you guys aswell so pls confirm it.
Ofcourse use the reload tactic like stated above.

its obviously random, its not hard to code a random outcome in a 1v1, why would they predetermine the fights.

i love the idiots that followed this guide got lucky and just immediately assumed you must have been right so positively voted this

It obviously worked for more people than it didnt work for.
They might have a better chance to win or something, might not be 100% wins from them but it seems they win more than they lose so I really dont understand why you go off calling people idiots?

UKGamingBureau take you on a very simple and easy guide for this achievement. If you do need to reload a save it wont send you back to outside the arena it will put in back into your apartment so just grab a taxi back near the arena

Check out their channel for more Sleeping Dogs achievements.

Save your game.

Then go to the west side of Kennedy Town to get the cock fight. It's the only one that allows you to bet at least 50,000 on a single fight. you MUST bet at least 50,000 on the cock fight. You can't bet 25,000 and win 50,000.

A video is attached but you shouldn't need it. Just bet, if you win, you get it, if not, reload your game.

Video was created by PowerPyx.

The key to getting this trophy is to be completely unreasonable when you bet on a cock. Remember, the odds are stacked against you, and as you will realize, that you may lose quite a many times before wining a single one.
If you think that a cock with x6 win streak is great, you will be pissed off when that one loses to the rooster with a zero win streak.!!!
Good luck. smile

This one can be frustrating, and is more luck based than anything; despite the guides here that attempt to say otherwise. It's suggested to make a save before you attempt this achievement just in case you lose. The Kennedy Docks cockfighting is where you will obtain this achievement.

Make a save before attempting this, and head to the cockfight gambling area on the west side of Kennedy Town. This is the only Cockfight arena that allows you to place bets higher than $50,000. As described in the trophy description, you must win net earnings of over $50,000. Betting $25,000 and winning back $50,000 will not unlock this trophy.

As mentioned already, Cockfighting is one of the best ways to earn income, so you will more than likely earn this trophy naturally.
