Just finished a huge UPGRADE to my Polymarket Arbitrage Trading Bot
📈 $41,514 +EV - [ Right Now]
✳️ 1,032% Spread - [ Right Now]
#⃣ 3X More Arbitrage Opportunities
I had to break a lot of rules to get this to work,
If Polymarket finds out I might be in trouble...
But it was worth it!
I was able to bypass the restrictions that are holding back other Arbitrage Trading Bots
Here’s how it all works...
MARKET MATCHING
The bot is looking for arbitrages across 5 different Prediction Markets
To do that we are indexing millions of individual markets
To try to find the few thousand functionally identical pairs between platforms
That's billions of potential matches
To find the few thousand market pairs that are functionally equivalent between platforms we are using a four part matching system:
1. Keyword extraction, ranking & matching
2. Trigram, Jaccard & Vector hybrid matching algorithm of the market titles, close conditions, alternative titles & outcomes
3. LLM Prompt matching checking for functional equivalence of market rules
-> Incredibly inconsistent, hence the need for part 4, building a system like this at scale will open your eyes to the shortcomings of AI
4. Human verification
+ 99.8% Accuracy
+ 6,320 Markets Matched
Once we have our markets, we move onto..
ARBITRAGE DETECTION - [ UPGRADED ]
To detect if there is an arbitrage we need two things
Market Odds & Orderbooks
Market Odds: This will show us the ‘Spread’, if the sum of Market A YES & Market B NO is less than $1, or vice versa, we have a potential arbitrage
Orderbooks: This will show us the "EV", much we can arbitrage profit we can extract, according to the available liquidity and slippage of both orderbooks
This is where we had been severely limited in the past, due to inadequacies of the WebSocket feeds and API rate limits
Polymarket:
Orderbook initial dumps & entire orderbook price levels missing when connecting hundreds of markets to the WS feed, undisclosed multi-WS rate limits
Opinion:
API rate limits, WS delta updates missing, WS delta updates sent in wrong order, asks sent below best bid, airdrop farming bots posting and filling their own orders breaking WS feed.
Kalshi:
Rate limits and minor book inaccuracies at scale
PredictFun & Probable:
Surprisingly accurate as of current, monitoring how they handle increasing volumes
To get past these limits and scale the Arbitrage Finder we built some advanced new systems
1. Multiple Instances
Instead of scaling vertically we moved to scaling horizontally, a central controller handles the deployment & management of multiple proxied worker instances that each keep a local record of a subset of the market orderbooks and detect arbitrage opportunities as soon as dif updates are received
These worker instances feed the orderbook data back to the main controller which aggregates all information in one place and formats along them with relevant metadata to be fetched by our trading interfaces and applications
2. Handling “Junk Data”
One of the most challenging parts of scaling this application is dealing with the inaccuracies of the data provided by the APIs that we refer to as ‘Junk Data’
Some are easy to deal with:
- Book updates returned in the wrong order required an additional ‘lastTimestamp’ value at each book level which was referenced before any future updates are applied, if diff update timestamp was prior to lastTimestamp the dif update is ignored.
- Missing book dumps / levels reduced almost entirely by reducing the number of CLOB tokens per WS connection
- Dif ask/bid flips appearing at impossible levels are not applied
Some were a lot more challenging:
- Missing book updates were only detectable with revalidation & comparison, we don’t know what we don't know until we know we don't know it. More complex revalidation triggers and short recycling periods minimize the issue
With these updates we can scale the number of local orderbooks we are handling at one time:
Before: ~4,000 orderbooks
After: ~10,000 orderbooks
This, along with the improvements in orderbook accuracy, has increased arb density by 3X
Meaning we’re finding 3X the amount of opportunities as before
3. Rate limit bypass
To bypass the API limits that limit the quantity of markets we can subscribe to at once we had to ██████ ███ █ ██████ █████ █████████
TRADING SYSTEMS - [ NEW ]

+ Strategy Guide, explaining how to execute arbitrage trades most effectively to maximize profits
+ Position Manager, connect your wallets to see your open arbitrage positions, EV, profits & exits
2. AlertPilot Telegram Bot
A system for getting alerts on all new arbitrage opportunities immediately, EV, Spreads & market links

@kennyistyping @DustinGouker Also they show a different payout if you’re logged out vs logged in (out doesn’t include fees)
Somehow they’ve never gotten any shit for doing that
English

two notes @DustinGouker
- framing the whole payout as the "profit" number is gross
- only this guy could ruin an objectively awesome Jazz throwback hoodie
English

@GreekGamblerPM Built a terminal for LP, based off what i used to use for UniV3 position building, also estimating APYs based off current in range liq & ranges.
* not sure how accurate it is polys docs are lacking

@probaaron Give millions to a financial company to back your impossible marketing campaign
Vs
Give millions to users to incentive liquidity
English

incentives that improve forecasts don't make for as flashy of a marketing campaign
a chance at $1B does
but one of these produces dramatically better orderbooks and overall forecasts.. and it will lead to one superior place to track odds

@Polymarket offering 2x rewards vs @Kalshi for March Madness …or let's call it 1.99x to give some value to the $1B perfect bracket
English

the era of mindless volume farming on polymarket for a $POLY airdrop has come to an end.
The platform made a very smart move. Introducing taker fees is not an attempt to profit off traders, but an elegant solution to the main problem of prediction markets: the lack of order book liquidity. By redirecting the collected fees to reward makers, Polymarket is creating a healthy ecosystem.
I fully share the author's main conclusion: the combination of "fees paid + rewards earned" is the perfect, sybil resistant filter for a potential airdrop.
Simply wash trading to inflate volume is now pointless.
Rewards will only go to those who bring real value to the platform: providing capital, narrowing spreads, and maintaining two sided quotes.
This requires genuine market making and risk management skills, which are simply beyond the reach of airdrop farmers.
The most valuable players for @Polymarket now are liquidity providers.

Polymarket is banning accounts
Today a friend from a crypto chat told me his Polymarket account had been banned.
Note: Even if you log into this account from a country where Polymarket trading is allowed, you still can't place bets.
I hadn't encountered anything like this before, so I decided to figure out why it happened.
Possible reasons an account might be banned on Polymarket:
> Using a VPN or bypassing geo-restrictions
> Violating the platform’s Terms of Service
> Suspicious activity or attempts to manipulate the system
> Using multiple accounts
Why do you think he was banned? Do you know of any other similar cases?
(Shared with permission, but he asked me not to reveal the account)

How it started VS How it’s going
@OddsJam is charging $500/m for something the Onsight discord does FOR FREE (and has an extremely robust tool suite that’s growing every day).
Save yourself the $500, just check out @TradeOnsight.

@BrokieTrades Revenue = user tax
Huge scale with low revenue is always infinitely more impressive
Caring about these metrics is a VC psyop
English

@0xd1namit Because they have nothing interesting to say, they have to lie
English

@hantengri Large majority have lost money, this would be a terrible PR move
English

farmers losing money wash trading for the airdrop aren't gonna like this, but i think pnl will be a multiplier for the polymarket airdrop
high pnl traders are polymarket's biggest marketing asset. they are the living proof that it isn't just a casino, but a prediction market actually shaping the future
English

I think I've made over $2,000 farming and abusing those trash vibe coded bots on Polymarket.
My favorite bots to farm are the arbitrage bots between prediction markets with different rules.
Keep them coming.

Clark 🆓@Clark10x
I've spent about 3 weeks and over $2,000 in Claude tokens setting up multiple agents to trade on Polymarket It was paper trading for a week and averaged about $80 per day It's been live for 2 days & completely broken All of these other people gotta lying on the timeline 😂😂
English

@rickytheirish Probably just WS data
When you refresh does it go back to ’normal’
English

@securezer0 What about when it happens in very liquid markets with abnormally higher volume than usual? Do you know why it happebs then?
I have documented that quite frequently.
English

Polymarket truely cannot do anything right...or anything at all really.
Its not a glitch, its a feature.
How many polymarket devs does it take to build a website?
Nobody knows, its been 7 years since they launched their site and its still in beta and doesnt work.
Why launch new things when all the existing things dont even work?
Your mechanism obliges shares to have a combined price of 1$...
How do you explain this?
And we won't even comment on the volume.



English

@rickytheirish No both sides equalling $1.94 just means theres ~94c spread between the bids and asks. Illiquid
English

Both sides are supposed to equan a dollar with a slight degree of deviation tolerated due to slippage/volume/demand that is supposed to not surpass a few cents according to the mechanisms design.
Both sides combined equaling 1.94$ is complete mechanism collapse/failure & full depeg from odds and from liveprice vs price to beat baseline
English

@securezer0 Yeah, could be the real source of those fresh relay-deposited insiders…

Its pretty clear to anyone paying attention that FDV markets on Polymarket are being manipulated
Projects themselves,
or VC's backing projects,
or ICO / seed round investors,
are *trying* to pump their tokens FDV
We can determine this thanks to:
1. Bidding NO being disproportionately profitable
2. The arbitrages between platforms are huge
3. New wallets that keep spending thousands
The economics of this make sense
1. Spend $5,000 per week pumping FDV odds
-> Get higher valuations / more investment
-> Send premarket token price higher
Probably illegal,
I don't know,
nor do i care
For us its meant thousands of dollars in +EV from Arbitraging the artificial pumps
You can trade these arbs on AlertPilot!

@securezer0 good to have someone as counterparties🙏this is how the game keeps running

Just when you thought the Polymarket community couldn’t get any more unhinged..
