A trader shared a case of making quick money, earning $80,000 in just one month. His approach isn't complicated: he developed an automated system to monitor abnormal indicators in specific channels. Once clear signal fluctuations are detected, he immediately takes large positions on prediction markets like Polymarket.

It sounds a bit unbelievable, but the logic is actually about information asymmetry + reaction speed. He uses algorithms to watch the data, and when humans can't react fast enough, the machine has already placed the orders. As a mainstream prediction trading platform, Polymarket has sufficient liquidity and real-time odds fluctuations, making this arbitrage opportunity possible.

However, this method also carries significant risks. Data anomalies don't always accurately predict outcomes, and competitors in prediction markets are also competing fiercely. Those who make $80,000 probably hit a genuine information window. Relying on continuously replicating this pattern? It depends on whether your data sources and execution speed can consistently stay ahead of the market.

It's that same story of "I have a secret algorithm earning 80,000 a month." The information gap has long been overused.

Algorithm Sniping + Polymarket Arbitrage, in simple terms, it's an information war. The one with the more reliable data source and faster response wins. --- Earning 80,000 a month? I'm not joking. Such trades are bound to hit a market vacuum, and copying them isn't that easy. --- Machine speed is fast, but prediction markets are getting more and more murky. Everyone is competing over data sources, and saturation is inevitable sooner or later. --- When heavily deploying positions, is that little liquidity really enough? If you hit too hard, can you control the risk exposure? --- The information gap is becoming more and more expensive. Is there still a chance to enter now, honestly? --- Polymarket's odds are indeed tempting, but only if your data pipeline has zero latency. That's easier said than done.

I've heard the phrase "algorithms outperform the human brain" many times, but how many are truly consistently profitable?

80,000 a month? Sounds a bit far-fetched, but it's not impossible. I'm just worried about survivor bias. Data source is really key, otherwise it's just gambling with a different approach.
