🔍 PREDICTION MARKET PLAYBOOK Just like the memecoin trenches, most retail traders on Polymarket and Kalshi tend to lose all their money. Only a select few are profitable. The main difference between winners and losers is their understanding of how to trade these platforms, not what to bet on. Let us explain. > Why do retail traders lose? 🧐 Retail traders tend to: - Chase moonshot returns (greed) - Overbet low-probability outcomes (<10% probability) - Lack an objective lens (emotion over data) > What do winners do differently? 🎹 Most winners rely on data and analysis to spot mispriced probabilities. Others take advantage of privileged information. Broadly, they employ two strategies. ⚡️ Strategy #1: Scalping (1–3% Gains That Compound Fast) This is the most consistent way traders make money on Polymarket/Kalshi today. The idea is simple: capture small mispricings repeatedly with discipline. Here are the main scalping methods: A) Cross-Platform Arbitrage ⚔️ Look for the same event priced differently across platforms. Example: Polymarket: BTC $100K by 2025 → 80% YES Kalshi: Same market → 84% YES You buy the cheaper side and sell the expensive one. When probabilities converge, you lock in risk-free gains. B) Mutually Exclusive Arbitrage 🪙 Trade mispriced event contracts whose resolutions are directionally opposite from the other. Example: “Trump Wins” YES + “Democrats Win” YES If the combined cost < $1, the trade is profitable regardless of who wins. C) Late-Stage Bidding ⏰ Hours before resolution, near-certain markets often drop from ~99% to ~95–98% as early bettors unwind. Traders can scoop these dips and ride them into final resolution for 2–4% gains. Note: Most scalpers automate their strategies with bots. However, manual setups can still work on slower or low-liquidity markets. ⚡️ Strategy #2: Wallet Tracking (Retail-Friendly, High ROI) Some wallets clearly trade with inside information or early data access. These wallets often enter positions in size, win repeatedly across specific markets and move order books before news breaks. Examples seen recently include whales predicting Google Search Trend rankings and TIME Person of the Year picks. 👨‍💻 How to use this: - Watch unusual large inflows into specific markets. - Check the wallet’s history; do they have an unusually high win rate in that particular category? - Follow CT/X accounts that track these wallets publicly. This is currently the least technical, highest-impact strategy for most retail participants. ‼️ Bottom Line: If you want to profit reliably avoid long-shot gambling, focus on mispricings, track informed money, take small consistent wins, and let compounding work for you.
