Easy Money

The cockfighting arena on the far left of the map has no cap on bets. Therefore, you can earn easy money by saving right in front of the arena, betting as much money as possible, and reloading until you win.

Good source of starting funds

Once you are able to bet in the fights, go to the arena on the far left of you're map. The fight arenas have a betting cap, but the one on the far left does not.

Save the game immediately before talking to the betting guy at the front of the arena. Then, place a bet for the maximum amount of money you have available. If you do not win, just reload your saved game and try again.

Repeat as many times as necessary.
