This is a stressful achievement, be prepared to grind out and rage at some of the weird mechanics behind this game, it litereally can feel like playing rock paper scissors with someone who can read your mind...
There's some prep work that seemed to help greatly while chasing this acheivement, which is part of the grind towards 100% and another achievement anyways, so I would strongly advise working the following out first.
As Goro Majima, go to the Dragon and Tiger Sotenbori, you want to start doing Equipment Searches, to the Japanese Blacksmith Village, sending the Japanese Mercenary, giving him an additional 70,000,000Yen makes the timer 8 seconds, which is just enough time to get out of all the menus, then you can instantly turn it in to claim the rewards.
What you're grinding out specifically will be the following.
10 x Ruby
5 x Diamond
and a recipie for "Beads of Good Fortune"
Once you have all that, craft it, this will make it avaiable for Kiryu to purchase from the equivalent shop in Kamurocho.
Now, before starting the Cat Fighting, you want to equip Kiryu with some items that increase his finacial luck, I used the Beads of Good Fortune, the Secret Wallet and the Insulated Shirt.
With all that equipped, it really did seem to increase my fortune at this annoying minigame. Although you won't be successful 100%, it still seemed to be much better odds to me. So onto catfighting.
This will be similar to the other guide to this achievement, where as Jennifer is the go-to gal for betting on, and although I'm not sure it had any effect, betting the maximum every time just to be safe. Also read the ticker, more often than not it will read a negative statement for Jennifer, if that's the case, back out and go again. You want something positive, humming her own theme, students grades increasing, or had a choice steak were the stand out ones for me. Once you see one of those, then proceed to make you bet ad get cracking.
The game itself is psuedo, rock-paper-scissors, except that it's more the AI needs to decide it's going to let you win, there is no rhyme or pattern here, it does what it does, so I found hedging bets to be the better course. I would pick whatever would lose to the opponents weakest hit, and beat their strongest, and this worked fairly well. So the following move set was what worked for me.
Oppenent - Move
Rei (Ninja) - Rock
Sayuri (Nurse) - Paper
Franchesca (Vixen) - Scissors
Maria (Cop) - Scissors
Yurie (Student) - Scissors
Momoko (Hostess) - Scissors
Yuiko (Diva) - Rock
And just hope, there will be occasional rounds where the AI decides it's going to win and no matter what you pick, it will ALWAYS trump you, so be prepared for it to be a little unfair, also keep an eye on what colour the faceoff screen goes, if you see Rainbow colours, be prepared to spam the B button, this can sometimes win a round in a single move. If you don't see rainbow colours, feel free to skip the move to save some time.
If you draw, and you will alot, there is a button bash faceoff, althouth this feels like it's really stacked in the AI's favour, i found letting the AI make 1 spot of ground before I started bashing the button helped some, but there will be plenty of times where no matter how fast you hit B, the AI WILL win no matter what. Just keep going and with a little luck, the odd loss won't matter too much.
Finally, don't throw your controller at the screen when you think you've won, only for an opponent with the 'Comeback' perk to get up as Jennifer is celebrating on full health, only to have her arm broken and instantly lose, it's rare, but oh-so frustrating.
Be patient, and do a few at a time, don't solely pour your efforts into grind these 10 wins back to back. it will feel easier to space out over a few days, there's alot of other stuff to grind out to fill the gaps.
Good luck everyone, I hope this helps some :)

Used Jennifer each time with the minimum bet. The scrolling news at the bottom was ineffective. I won 5 of the times with bad news for her.
I would say near the end of the fights the ai tended to use their strongest hand, other than that this is luck based and will take some time but definitely doable.

I won 4 tournaments pretty early with Jennifer/Rei; came back a few chapters later to finish it off.
Jennifer has won 1 additional time... out of at least 50.
This is the single worst minigame that I have ever seen, mobile titles have better RNG than this

ASAP. If you did it properly their perk won’t actually trigger and you’ll get the win; it can fail but I’ve only ever had it happen once.

The person you bet on has to win all 3 catfight matches in a row and win the tournament. You have to do this 10 times. It is recommended that you back out and save after each tournament win.
Honestly, this is a heavily RNG dependent trophy to get and you will need to be patient to grind out the wins.
This is the general strategy I adopted to get the achievement.
1 - Bet on Jennifer only when her Info at the bottom of the screen reads as something positive. If not, back out of the JCC club and try again.
2 - I always bet the maximum amount on her. I have no idea if it has any effect, but some people swear by it, so I did it anyway.
3 - I always put the move to counter the enemy's strongest move instead of trying to go for a draw/win on a round by betting on the 2 most likely attacks. I found that if you're going into a tug-of-war button mashing, you're 80% of the time going to lose regardless.
4 - Do not skip rainbow attacks, there is a phase within the attack animation where you can spam B to deal more damage. Sometimes it is the difference between winning the match right there and then, and having to go through one more win.
That's all. It can feel like utter bullshit sometimes but that's how it is. I got this trophy while doing something else on my com so I didn't feel like I was completely wasting my time.
Good Luck!

is there a counter for this, i am doing 1-2 per day to not completely destroy my gamepad and i think i lost count... i'm sure it will pop at 10, but what if not.. i had a couple glitchy cheevos for chapter progress and hot/cold food

This is one of the most frustrating minigames (and thus achievements) in the game, and that's saying something. I have lost count of the number of times Jennifer has defeated Yurie without taking damage in the Final, only for Yurie to rise from the dead and break Jennifer's shoulder to win the tournament.
When you switch between rock, paper, and scissors, the color flame changes, and I've spent time trying to work out if that's a clue to which attack you should choose for the fighter ... but I haven't been able to work out any pattern. It isn't even a good indicator of how much damage the attack will do. It just seems ... unrelated.

You have to win all 3 cat fight matches in a tournament 10 times. You can't cash out early after 1 or 2 wins. This is a tough trophy that will take some time.
You unlock the cat fight during chapter 6. You will run into a character who teaches you to throw money away to avoid a fight. He will then tell you about a special place to win money. This is the cat fights.
When you enter the cat fights, you have to pick a fighter to bet on and an amount to bet. Then you will play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors and do some button mashing at times to try and help win the fight.
When picking your fighter, read the ticker at the bottom. It will give you a 1 line summary of each fighter. Read each line and look for the most positive sounding one. The ones with better fortune have much more chance to win. To be honest, I ignored odds of winning and strength of attacks and just picked judging on the ticker.
Your bet affects the outcome. I don't know how though. When I went for these wins, I started with 1,000,000 Yen bets and lost a lot. A lot of that was without my main plan though. I did win once with the million bet. The rest of the time I only bet 10,000 Yen which is the minimum allowed. Note that you have to win 100,000,000 Yen in Cat Fights if you are going for the 100%. I got an offer to predict the outcome of 8 fights after a few wins. I predicted each win and got a huge payout. This immediately covered the 100,000,000 I needed so I no longer had to bet big anyway.
Once you decide who to use, the next step is noting down your opponents strengths. The more stars in an attack option, the more chance of it being used. So you want to pick a counter move based on the most likely 2 attacks. If Rock is strongest, then Scissors, then Paper. You should mainly / only pick Rock. It will beat Scissors and have a button mash chance against Rock. I will list out each fighters stats and what I would use:
Francisca: Use Scissors
Rock 3
Scissors 3
Paper 4
Jennifer: Use Rock
Rock 5
Scissors 5
Paper 4
Maria: Use Scissors
Rock 1
Scissors 2
Paper 4
Momoko: Use Scissors
Rock 3
Scissors 5
Paper 4
Rei: Use Rock
Rock 3
Scissors 3
Paper 1
Sayuri: Use Paper
Rock 5
Scissors 1
Paper 3
Yuiko: Use Rock
Rock 3
Scissors 4
Paper 1
Yurie: Use Scissors
Rock 2
Scissors 2
Paper 4
The final step I did was note down every attack they used. I looked for a pattern and occasionally changed my attack. Not too much though, as more often than not, I found they countered my pick. There is no guaranteed win. Once I started using this system, I got 1 tournie win out of every 3 or so. After each win, I would leave and go collect my business payouts and also save. Just to mix things up so I didn't go crazy working on this. It took 3 or 4 nights of trying to get this one.

For this trophy it is better to choose Jennifer. She has the highest stats for all techniques, and a high chance of immediately destroying a quarter of her opponent’s health right after the gong. Unfortunately, as in most local mini-games, there is absolutely inexplicable randomness at work here. So even if you are superior to the enemy in all respects, it is possible that the computer will consider that it would be necessary to deliver the strongest possible blow, despite all your advantages, simply because.

I support the addition above, it really works, but there is one thing. The buff does not necessarily fall on one girl from the grid. The following happened to me: Jennifer won at Poker, Momoko (the second girl in terms of stats after Jennifer) returned from a date on the islands. As a result, Momoko carried my Jennifer out without a chance. The next time only Francesca had the buff and I won the tournament in about two minutes.

I support the speaker above regarding Jennifer. However, the randomness in this game is not so scary. You just need to understand the mechanics.
1) This is a banal “rock-paper-scissors”. To win, I mainly chose the option that counters the opponent's maximum value. Those. if she had 4 stars for scissors, I took the stone. Yes, sometimes you miss, but this is often not critical at all.
2) If the techniques match (stone against stone, for example) - button meshing begins (
), which works as strangely as possible. If the enemy wants to - even if you are a Flash with super speed - your clicks will not mean anything at all. Although there was some kind of mistake found for this - skip the beginning of this mashing and let the icon move in your direction. And only after that start jamming . Perhaps this is some kind of input lag, when the game starts to catch the cross only some time after the start of the QTE. Before using this method, in 80% of cases I lost this competition. As soon as I started using it, 90% of attempts were successful. It could be a coincidence, I can't guarantee it.
3) Attacks have 5 colors - white, blue, green, red and rainbow. And the attack power corresponds to this gradation. White - a light slap for a drop of damage, red - a powerful attack for a quarter of the strip. Rainbow is a separate conversation. If you win with a rainbow background, get ready to squash quickly
, because Each press will add damage to the enemy. Some opponents can be taken out with one rainbow attack.
4) Jennifer has a starting attack, with which you can deprive the enemy of a quarter of his health from the beginning of the battle. It works randomly, but I got the feeling that pressing buttons at the beginning of the battle contributes to the appearance of this attack.
PS Do not participate in a big game where you are offered to guess all the winners for 10kk. This does not count towards the trophy, you will spend a lot of time on this (if you go to the end), and it will be of little use. Not counting the money, which by that time you will have plenty of.

The fastest way is to bid above 10,000,000 yen. With high stakes, you will win every third tournament. While I was betting ten thousand, I suffered for a very long time
