A study proved that $40 million was extracted from Polymarket in one year using a single mathematical formula I found a wallet that is using it right now on Iran war markets and made $1.4M in one week. Most people on Polymarket try to predict the future. Will there... be a war. Who will win the election. What will happen next. I spent months doing the same thing. Reading news. Watching debates. Building my little models of what I thought should happen. And losing money. Not because I was wrong about events. Because I was wrong about the game itself. The game is not about predictions. And the wallet I'm about to show you is living proof. Three weeks ago I pulled the full trade history of this wallet: What I saw at first didn't make sense. He was opening the same market more than 30 times. US strikes Iran by January 11. US strikes Iran by January 12. January 13. January 14. January 15. January 16. January 17. The same event. Different dates. Over and over. First thought: this person is obsessed with Iran. Second thought: this person doesn't care about Iran at all. Here's what he's actually doing. Polymarket creates separate markets for the same event with different deadlines. Will the US strike Iran by March. By April. By June. These are not independent questions. If the strike happens in March then April and June automatically resolve to YES as well. But Polymarket prices each market separately. And the crowd prices them emotionally. Fear spikes on Tuesday night because someone tweeted something. One market jumps. The others lag behind. For a few minutes and sometimes hours prices on related markets stop converging. When you buy NO across multiple dates and the total cost is 94 cents and the guaranteed payout is $1 regardless of what happens you're not betting. You're collecting a 6% return on mathematical inevitability. That's the entire strategy. He buys dollars for 94 cents. I checked his numbers. On the Iran series alone he pulled $247,000 in realized profit across seven markets with different dates. Average purchase price of NO positions from 72 to 95 cents. Each one resolved at $1. The biggest hit was the government shutdown market. $88,000 in profit. Same logic. Buy both sides when the total cost is less than a dollar. One side pays. Math does the rest. 85% of his capital is in political markets. Wars. Elections. Geopolitics. Not because he has strong geopolitical convictions. Because political markets on Polymarket are where the math breaks most often. Why political markets specifically? Because they generate the most emotion. When CNN runs breaking news about Iran at 11 PM thousands of people rush to buy YES on the nearest date. They overbid the price. They panic. They push one market out of line with the rest. That panic is his paycheck. And now the part that actually matters. I dug deeper into how this type of arbitrage works at scale and found a study that made everything click. A team analyzed every trade on Polymarket over 12 months. They found 17,218 market conditions. 41% of them had an exploitable pricing error. And the total profit extracted by arbitrageurs was $40 million. The top single wallet made $2 million using one algorithm. The Frank-Wolfe method. I'll explain without math because the concept is simple even if the calculations aren't. Imagine you walk into a store that sells lottery tickets for 7 different drawings. Each ticket is priced separately. The store doesn't coordinate prices between drawings. You notice that if you buy a certain combination of tickets across all 7 drawings the total cost is $94 but you're guaranteed to win exactly $100 no matter which drawing hits. You don't need to predict which drawing will win. You just need to notice that the store mispriced the tickets. Here's Frank-Wolfe in one sentence. It scans thousands of related markets simultaneously and finds combinations where the total price is less than the guaranteed payout. Then it calculates the exact amounts to buy on each side to maximize the spread. The reason a human can't do this manually is scale. There are hundreds of active markets on Polymarket. Many are connected by logic. If event A happens then event B must also happen. If candidate X wins state Y then the national result shifts. The number of possible combinations grows exponentially. While you're checking 10 markets by hand the algorithm has scanned 17,000. What anoin123 does is a manual version of this. He picks one cluster of related markets like the Iran date series and runs the logic in his head. Buy NO across seven dates. Total cost less than a dollar. Wait. Collect. The automated version does the same thing but across all markets on the platform simultaneously. My personal takeaway after three weeks of studying this. I spent months trying to be smarter than the crowd. Reading polls. Watching news. Forming opinions. And the whole time there was a category of traders who had zero opinions about anything. They just waited for the crowd to misprice related markets and collected the difference. The uncomfortable realization is that prediction markets are not actually about predictions for those who make the most money. They're about math. And the math breaks every day because people trade on emotions and the platform prices markets independently of each other. I don't have the infrastructure to run Frank-Wolfe at scale. But I don't need to. Wallets like anoin123 do this in plain sight. Every trade on the blockchain. Every entry price. Every exit. Every timestamp. I stopped trying to predict events. I started watching wallets that make money regardless of what happens. The difference in my results is so stark it's uncomfortable to think about. If you want to understand the full math behind this the study is publicly available. Search for Arbitrage in Prediction Markets on arXiv. But the short version is this. Every time the crowd panics about a war or an election and pushes one market out of line with its related markets someone on the other side quietly buys dollars for 94 cents. The question is not whether they'll strike Iran. The question is whether you noticed that seven markets about the same event are priced as if they have nothing to do with each other. That gap is where the money lives.show more

When I was 8 years old, growing up in Taipei, I called my aunt in San Francisco and asked: What is the best science and technology school in the world? She said MIT. I went on the internet, found it, and decided that was where I was going. All because of a Steven Spielberg movie about a little robot boy who wanted to find his mom. I grew up as an only child. What stayed with me from that movie was not just the technology. It was the possibility that one day, an artificial companion could understand how I felt. That was the first time I remember being moved by a technology that could change how humans experience reality. Years later, I did get to MIT. I studied AI before it became obvious. I became a machine learning engineer, built my first company, joined a $3.5B VC fund, left to build again, failed, started again, moved to New York alone, and built through one of the hardest crypto markets as a solo founder after the collapse of FTX. I kept going because I have always been drawn to technologies that change how humans understand the world. AI was the first version of that. Crypto and prediction markets are the next. I believe the future I am building toward is inevitable. The only question is whether I get to be one of the people who helps realize it. That future is a world where markets become information-first. The old model of trading was asset-first. It rewarded people with capital, financial education, institutional access, and better tools. But the next generation of markets will be shaped by information flow, narrative, attention, politics, culture, sentiment, and collective belief. Prediction markets make this shift obvious. They are one of the first asset classes where the value is informational, not purely financial in the traditional sense. Your edge does not have to come from technical analysis or a traditional finance background. Your edge can come from knowing something before it becomes consensus. From seeing reality shift before the market prices it in. Someone with firsthand knowledge of an unfolding event can have more alpha than an institution with a much bigger balance sheet. They turn belief into price. But price alone is not enough. Polymarket shows what the market thinks will happen. ARES is built to understand why the market is changing. We are building an information-first trading platform for prediction markets and other narrative-driven assets. One that does not just show traders what is moving, but helps them understand why odds are shifting, why narratives are forming, and why the future is moving in a certain direction. But the bigger vision is not just a better trading terminal. We want to turn every trade into an information object. Every position can become a piece of content. Every market view can become a signal. Every trader can build a reputation around conviction and accuracy. Most feeds rank information by engagement. Who got the most likes. Who already has the biggest audience. Markets allow us to rank information differently. How much are you willing to stake on what you believe? How often have you been right? That creates a fundamentally different kind of media feed. One powered by conviction, track record, and market incentives. One that becomes harder to fake. One that can help people understand not just what the market thinks will happen, but why reality is changing. I also believe prediction markets are one of the few markets where humans can still have a real edge over AI. AI knows what is already on the internet. But humans experience reality before it becomes data. We see things before they become headlines. We hear things before they become reports. We feel shifts before they become consensus. If those signals can be priced, organized, and made legible, then more people can gain access to financial opportunity, information agency, and power. That is what Ares is building toward. I spent years watching founders from the VC side of the table, always thinking: I wish that was me. Now it is. I talked about this journey and the thesis behind Ares in my conversation with Dmitry on Predict Time If you are building, trading, investing, or thinking deeply about prediction markets and information markets, I would love for you to watch it. And if you want to collaborate on what we are building, contribute to the vision, or join the team, we are always open to exceptional people across functions. DMs are open.

this is legitimately brilliant trying it today because if this actually works the way he describes I'm completely changing how I trade on prediction markets like Polymarket i just gone through The Smart Ape 🔥's bot, he just spent weeks building a free tool that connects Polymarket odds to real-time news because he was tired of manually tracking everything. the insight here gathered is perfect: - top traders on Polymarket aren't running sophisticated bots. - they're just faster at spotting when the market price diverges from reality. - markets stay mispriced for HOURS after major news drops. 10-30% off sometimes he built polymarketnews(dot)xyz and it's actually insane: - AI scrapes every major publisher - flags bullish/bearish news with green/red markers directly on the price chart - updates in minutes. for instance, the Iran Khamenei market example, the news drops suggesting power consolidation, market doesn't react for hours, then crashes 40% I've been saying this forever, information asymmetry is the only real edge in prediction markets and he just made it for free absolute gold here i genuinely think this is one of those tools that becomes essential infrastructure for anyone serious about prediction markets. the edge isn't the bot it's the speed of information and he just leveled the playing field

This wallet turned $5 into $3.7M by betting on things that will never happen. No algorithms. No insider info. Just garbage collection. Last week I gave Claude Code a simple task: find me a wallet whose profit is mathematically impossible for a human. The script ran for 12 minutes. Returned one address. I opened the profile expecting an HFT monster. Direct API to Binance. Microsecond execution. The kind of bot you cannot compete with. Instead I found a janitor sweeping up coins everyone else ignores. His profile: I spent the night scrolling through his trade history. First ten trades I checked: Will aliens land on Earth by 2025? > NO at $0.97 Will the Pope resign this month? > NO at $0.94 Will Bitcoin hit $500K this week? > NO at $0.99 Will WW3 start before Friday? > NO at $0.98 All NO. All boring. All profitable. And then it hit me. He does not predict the future. He bets against miracles. You know that feeling when you realize you have been playing the wrong game entirely? I have spent two years looking for the perfect trade. This guy made $3.7M betting that crazy things will not happen. I felt like an idiot. But at least now I see the game. Here is his actual strategy broken down: A market opens: Will a UFO land on Times Square tomorrow? A crowd of gamblers buys YES for 2 cents. Just for fun. What if, right? Swisstony walks in. Buys NO for 98 cents. Tomorrow comes. No UFO. He takes his dollar. Profit: 2 cents per dollar. Risk: almost zero. Almost. There is always a black swan. But in 15,000 trades, he has not met one yet. Sounds boring? 2% profit? Now multiply that by 15,000 trades per month. January alone: - 47 impossible event markets: +$8,400 - 23 celebrity death hoax markets: +$3,100 - 31 apocalypse prediction markets: +$4,700 While you and I are spinning the roulette wheel looking for x10, he IS the casino. The house always wins. Not because it is smarter. Because it bets on the boring. Instead of hunting for a gold bar, he collects bottle caps. Millions of them. And it turns out bottle caps are worth more than gold. The second part of his strategy is even simpler. Logical holes. If event A already happened, then event B is now impossible. The news is out. But the market is still digesting. The crowd reads slowly. He does not wait. He enters and takes money from people who have not refreshed their feed yet. I checked his stats this morning. 23,000 people now watch this wallet. But here is the irony. Most of them try to copy his entries. They miss the point entirely. You cannot copy a trade that closes in 6 hours at 99 cents. By the time you see it, it is done. What you CAN copy is his logic: find markets where the boring outcome pays. Right now there are 47 open markets about things that will never happen. Celebrity pregnancies. Alien invasions. Political impossibilities. By tomorrow, half of them will close. Swisstony is probably already inside. Two years I have been looking for edge. Reading analysis. Building models. Trying to be smarter than the market. This guy made $3.7M betting that the world will stay boring. Right now somewhere someone is betting $50 that aliens will land tomorrow. Swisstony is about to take that $50. Will you keep betting on miracles? Or start collecting from believers?

Chamath and Larry Summers Debate the Market Reaction to Trump's Tariffs Lawrence H. Summers: "If this is such a terrific thing, why do markets think it's so terrible for the American economy?" "Maybe the market's just completely wrong ... but the job of markets is to look forward." "It's to look passed the immediate." "It's to see what the long run consequences are going to be." "And markets are making a pretty devastatingly negative judgment on this step." Chamath Palihapitiya: " Larry, that's not true." " So let's just establish a couple facts about 'the markets.'" "Number one, there are two markets and they behave totally differently, and sometimes inversely to each other." "There's the stock market and there's the bond market." 1) Stocks: mean reversion "With respect to the stock market, what they are debating, and you're right Larry, is what is the effective long-term rate of return a dollar needs to generate in order to pay me back that dollar?" "That is what the fundamental stock market does." "And what we've seen for many years with trade imbalances, trade deficits, and close-to-zero interest rates, of which more of that happened under Democrats than Republicans, we have allowed the stock market to inflate past historical averages." " What we've actually seen happen in the last week is what most people would call mean reversion." "The stock market is still way above where it was last year, two years ago, three years ago." "What has happened is that the forward multiples have compressed. So that's number one. That's a fact." 2) Bonds: it's possible a major trade blew up "And then with respect to bonds, what we are seeing now is there are two very complicated issues." "In the last two days, we saw one part of the bond market totally get out of whack." "And what we know is that the yields changed materially in a very acute way, which is atypical of how the bond market typically digests a philosophical change in approach to policy." " What we heard in the last 24 hours is a lot of this move may have been attributed to an enormous levered bet on US treasuries by a Japanese hedge fund." " It will take three, and four, and five, and six weeks for us to really know." 3) Private credit: something to watch closely " Separately, what we do know, though, where the structural complexity of the market — and this is where, Larry, I agree with you — is acute and important to observe is in the credit markets for private companies." "And that is where you have to pay a lot of attention."

Polymarket vs Sportsbooks: Why Betting Apps are Toast On E248, Chamath and Friedberg discussed why prediction markets like Polymarket are killing traditional sportsbooks. Friedberg: “I think gambling generally, as we call it, should be decriminalized.” “And I don't like this state-by-state set up with gambling.” “I think we should have a federal regulatory body.” “This is not going away. People love to bet on stuff. This is part of sports, this is part of the culture.” Chamath: “ Look at Polymarket.” “Polymarket raised at, whatever it was, $1-2B at $9B. Then the next weekend they announced sports betting and now they're raising money 30 days later at, allegedly, $12-15B.” “And you can see, by the way, the way that DraftKings and FanDuel stock have reacted to this, those companies are toast.” Friedberg: “ The Polymarket model is the best model because it creates a market.” “And so as information flows in, that market will dynamically adjust and everyone will get a more fair price.” “Polymarket actually has the news before the news does.” “And this is one of the most powerful outputs of Polymarket, is they're actually getting a read on what's going on in the world before the media recognizes it, before the public recognizes it.” “When you put money up, it actually turns out that when people have incentives, that market will find the truth.”

A Chinese MIT professor explains how financial and prediction markets actually work. Everything you need to understand both. Most people lose money in markets not because they pick wrong - but because they dont understand the structure they're playing against. Who sets prices. How liquidity works. Why derivatives exist. How market makers profit from every trade regardless of direction. This lecture explains the actual mechanics. After it you'll see every Polymarket market differently - not as a bet, but as a pricing problem with a correct answer that the crowd hasn't found yet. That gap between the crowd's price and the correct price is where money gets made. One hour. Jake Xia. MIT. Bookmark this.

Remember the Truth Social post by Trump on March 12, 2026: "The US is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money." He is effectively trying to do two things: to force Iran into submission while simultaneously coercing the global market to rely on American oil and gas at inflated prices, for which he constrains the Strait of Hormuz. Iran shall not bend, of course. But he has no clue about the dynamics of the world energy markets. So, this shall backfire, but at the cost of others—in particular, the Asian markets.

You know NOTHING about arbitrage. If you watch sport or crypto markets, you already LOST. This guy makes $30k / month on weather markets. Because there's NO COMPETITION. His bot is trading every market AUTOMATICALLY. Here's how he applied the strategy from my article: His script identifies weather markets with spreads. And the best part is that almost each of them has it. Why? Because of low liquidity. This trader used one simple formula to trade those markets: Buy YES if P_model > P_market + T Buy NO if P_model < P_market − T So each time he's buying two outcomes at the same time. And wins. Check his last trade: It looks like he turned $200 into $6,000+ by betting on 0.2% outcome. But here's the real math: He he bought his YES shares at $0.002. At the same time he bought NO side at $0.994. The spread was tiny, just $0.004. That's why his actual profit is not $6k. He lost his NO position (-$6,072k) and won on YES side (+$6,172k). So his actual profit is just $100. His profile: He’s not betting on temperature. He’s buying a mispriced binary pair. If both sides together cost less than $1, the payout at resolution is $1. Most people try to be right. He just makes sure the math can’t be wrong. That's why you always have to double check everything. Details show the full picture.

A programmer found a bug in the laws of probability. Now he collects $35,000 a day for exploiting it. How do you make money betting against yourself? Sounds like idiocy. Looks like $236,000 in pure profit. 2 months ago this wallet did not exist. Today it holds $236,000 in pure profit. He does not read news. Does not watch charts. Does not listen to analysts. He just sees the moment when math breaks. And takes the difference. I found this wallet buried in the 15-minute leaderboard. First thought: another HFT bot catching milliseconds. I was wrong. The exploit is public. So is the wallet: First thing that crashed my brain. This bot does not bet on direction. It does not care if the price falls or rises. It bets on BOTH outcomes. Simultaneously. How do you make money betting against yourself? I broke down the mechanics and felt like an idiot. Here is the glitch this script exploits: On Polymarket every market has two outcomes: YES and NO. In a perfect world their sum always equals $1.00. But we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a world of panic, FOMO, and people staring at charts at 3am. When volatility spikes, the crowd goes insane. YES price flies to 60 cents. NO drops to 35. Total cost of both outcomes: 95 cents. The bot sees this instantly. It buys YES. It buys NO. Same second. Investment: 95 cents.сGuaranteed payout: $1.00. Profit: 5 cents. Does not matter where the price goes. To zero or to the moon. The bot already won before anything happened. Now multiply this by hundreds of trades per day. 5 cents becomes $50. $50 becomes $500. $500 becomes $5,000. $35,000 every day. While the programmer sleeps. I analyzed the entry timings. The bot does not trade randomly. It hunts in the first 5-10 minutes after each market opens. Why? Because that is peak chaos. New candle. New contract. Fresh fear. Liquidity has not settled yet. The window of opportunity lasts seconds. For a human it is invisible noise. For code it is harvest season. Think about what this means. While 70% of Polymarket traders lose their deposits guessing direction, reading news, drawing support lines... This bot simply collects tax on their emotions. Every panic sell you make creates a pricing error. Every FOMO buy you make breaks the math. The bot is patient. The bot is precise. The bot has no nervous system. I thought winning in this market required insiders or $10k servers. This wallet proved me wrong. You do not need to know the future. You just need to know that YES + NO should equal $1. And when the crowd in panic makes the sum equal $0.95... That difference is your profit. The question is not whether these opportunities exist. The question is who takes them while you blink. Right now somewhere a new market just opened. Volatility is rising. Prices are diverging. This bot is already counting. You can keep guessing. Or you can get in line behind the one who already hacked the game. In one second he will press Buy. Twice. On both sides. And you?

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Iran's 10-point proposal amid announcement on the ceasefire, Former Minister of State for External Affairs, MJ Akbar says, "I do not believe that a ceasefire could have been announced without a broad agreement on key factors. And obviously, Iran's nuclear program has to be one of the major factors, because if you don't have an agreement on that, then this is a hoax. But the point of fact is that one day before this war began, America and Iran had agreed, even on the language, which leaves the world perplexed as to what this war was about. Because over and over again, you say that the war is about nuclear weapons and Iran's potential. So if on the eve of the war, you had accepted an agreement in which Iran had also accepted America's language, then I think the war had to be an exercise in political hysteria, for purposes that are not fully comprehensible to the same world..."

.Martin Shkreli explains why he's both bearish on prediction markets and runs a bot that makes a market in the Bitcoin 15-minute Polymarket markets: "How much are you just financializing for financializing's sake, and is that sustainable when you actually need people with tons of money to fight the arbitrage gradient?" "For example, I've been running this bot on Polymarket that makes a market in the Bitcoin 15-minute markets, which are somewhat inefficient." "Nobody needs to trade this. There's no actual benefit to trading this, other than that you can take two-to-N bets - you get around 96 bets a day - and with the money velocity of getting a lot of those right, you can compound insanely well." "Of course, it's random. But people's hope springs eternal that they could somehow get the rhythm of the market every 15 minutes. I think it's a waste of ingenuity and engineering."

The most profitable strategy on Polymarket in 2026 is 30 years old and has generated $100 billion. It was not invented by a trader. It was invented by a mathematician Jim Simons, creator of Medallion Fund, the hedge fund that returned 66% annually for 30 years straight and outperformed Buffett, Soros, and all of Wall Street combined. The formula is publicly available, but on Wall Street you need billions and 300 PhDs to run it. On Polymarket you just need a laptop. The entire strategy in one line: small edge × many positions × low correlation. Let me break it down simply. Imagine a coin that lands heads 52 times out of 100. Flip it 10 times and you will not notice the difference. Flip it 10,000 times and you are in profit not probably, but mathematically. Simons did not guess where the market was going. He took hundreds of positions with a tiny edge on each one and waited for statistics to do the work. Some always lost, but the sum of wins was always greater than the sum of losses. On Polymarket this formula works better than anywhere else. Hundreds of markets, prices set by a crowd that makes mistakes every day, inefficiencies at every turn, and the entry threshold is not a billion but $100. I found a wallet that is already trading by this formula. 96 positions spread across politics and sports. Profit: $53K. Sharpe Ratio 3.43, which is higher than Medallion Fund itself and better than 91% of traders on the platform. You can open it and see every trade: 73% on Polymarket are trying to guess and losing. Maybe it is time to start counting?

Rogin: It looks very likely that we're about to restart bombing of Iran. And there are a lot of reports out there that this is about to happen. And what that means is that all of the problems, not just with the US economy, with the economy of every country in the world, are about to get worse. And it means that the Iran war is going to go much longer than otherwise anticipated. And that is a disaster not just for Americans, but for all people. And then if you think about the effects on energy and then manufacturing, and then rates will continue to go up, and then inflation, it's a it's a calamity for the world economy with no strategy whatsoever.

My wife's accountant called yesterday. Asked where the micropayments of $12 to $87 are coming from, hitting the account every 15 minutes, around the clock. First question: Is this legal? How much per month? There was no third question. He asked for the link. Three months ago I lost $1,800 on Polymarket in one week. I was betting on politics, trusting my gut, down every single night. My wife said either you stop or I am calling my mother. I did not stop. I stopped trading myself and started studying the people who trade better. On Polymarket every trade is on the blockchain. Every wallet, every entry, every exit. I expected to find a genius with a secret strategy. Instead I found a wallet that does the same thing every 15 minutes and makes more than I make in a month. His strategy is so simple that I felt embarrassed for not noticing it sooner. When BTC makes a sharp move, contracts on Polymarket update with a few seconds of delay. Two contracts that together should cost a dollar suddenly cost 40 to 60 cents. This wallet buys both, waits 15 minutes, and collects a dollar. It does not need to know where BTC is going. It just needs to catch the moment when the market blinks. For two weeks I just watched. Every morning I opened the profile. Up again. Occasionally down, but against the bigger picture it was like a scratch on the hood of a new Mercedes. Then I thought: enough standing outside the window watching people eat. Here is the profile, you can break down the history yourself: After a month I had so many micropayments coming in that the accountant noticed. He went quiet for a second and said: "So you are not trading. You are copying someone who trades math, not the market." For two years I was looking for a complicated strategy. The most profitable one turned out to be so simple it is almost insulting. I could have started two years earlier. One thing changed. I stopped thinking I am smarter than the market.

🚨 LMFAO! Iran just went full DELUSIONAL mode They now reportedly view the standoff with President Trump as a competition of “endurance” And Iran thinks THEY have the upper hand in that fight 🤡 “Iran sees this as a game of endurance. They believe that time is on their side and that ultimately the domestic pressure, when it comes to energy markets and the stock market, will force President Trump to make a deal that's in their favor.” “That is not the truth. That is not the reality." "The president and his counterparts in Israel have the ability to continue this operation for MONTHS if they need to." — Trey Yingst

A Python script pulled $325K from the same price gap over and over. It appears every few seconds. This bot catches it first. I found distinct-baguette buried in a leaderboard. Another crypto bot grinding 15 minute windows. Almost closed the tab. Then I saw the win rate. 80%. That is low for a profitable bot. Way too low. Something was off. Turns out I was looking at it wrong. → Account: This bot does not predict anything. Does not care if BTC goes up or down. Does not read charts. Does not time entries. It just watches one thing: prices that do not add up. Sounds weird until you see the trick. Polymarket 15 minute windows have two sides. YES and NO. One of them always pays $1. So YES + NO should always equal $1. That is just math. But when markets move fast, prices slip. YES at 48 cents. NO at 49 cents. Total: 97 cents. The bot sees this. Buys both sides. Waits. Market closes. One side pays $1. Spent 97 cents. Keeps the 3 cent difference. Does not matter who wins. The script checks Polymarket every few seconds. BTC. SOL. XRP. Anything with volume. The moment prices slip under 99 cents combined, it fires. Three cents per trade. Repeat it tens of thousands of times. That is how you get to $325K. The 80% win rate finally made sense. He is not trying to pick winners. He is locking profit before the bet even resolves. Everyone else bets on outcomes. This bot bets on broken math.

A very harsh threat, made by Netanyahu toward Iran. What is behind the heightened tone? It is not only harsh, it is also unusual. The event that took place in recent months was a paralyzing fear of what is called miscalculation. They will think that we will attack first, even though that was not the intention, and then they will attack, and the entire region will be dragged into another round of confrontation. In a region where there is fear of miscalculation, you are not supposed to announce this kind of thing in the Knesset. I just want to make that clear. Yesterday, Naftali Bennett promoted his press conference on the conditions of soldiers, okay? He gets six million views because the timing looks like a countdown and he is a former prime minister, so the Iranians are in hysterics that he is actually announcing that they are going to attack. That’s the atmosphere. So when Netanyahu attacks like this and makes an unprecedented threat—not only harsh but also unusual—one can’t help but think that for Netanyahu there is a message, or something more problematic than miscalculation. And he wants to warn the Iranians. Now, what’s the issue? The issue is that if the Iranians come to the conclusion that their regime is on the verge of collapse, there is one thing that might save them. And that is an attack on Israel. Because we saw during the war what is called “rally around the flag.” Even those who were in the opposition rallied around the flag when their country was attacked. It is not only the Islamic Republic that is under attack, but also the Islamic Republic of Iran. That is essentially the issue, and that is what Netanyahu, in my opinion, is trying to stop with the threat he issued after the security discussion.
