How Polymarket arbitrage actually works

Polymarket markets are either binary (YES/NO) or multi-outcome; fair prices sum to $1.00. Intra-market arbitrage buys the cheapest combination of outcomes whose sum is below $1.00 and holds a complete set of outcome tokens so the difference is the raw edge. You settle through the Conditional Token Framework (CTF) and redeem winning tokens for $1.00 after resolution. Remember that while the spread is mathematical, trades carry risks: resolution disputes via UMA, slippage or partial fills on the CLOB, taker fees, settlement timing, and smart-contract risk.

Why latency and execution matter for sports arbitrage

Sports markets move quickly around new information and liquidity changes; edges that exist for seconds can vanish once other traders act. PolyArb's 40ms latency aims to capture short-lived opportunities more reliably than slower bots. Faster execution reduces partial fills and slippage, increasing the chance that the combined best-ask fills at the expected price. Even with fast execution, always account for taker fees and tick-size behavior near price extremes.

Comparing Polymarket to other sports betting venues

Polymarket is a decentralised prediction-market exchange on Polygon using pUSD and a CLOB; it’s different from centralized sportsbooks and alternative prediction platforms. Cross-platform arbitrage (Polymarket vs Kalshi, PredictIt, Manifold, or sportsbooks) is possible but out of PolyArb’s primary scope, which focuses on intra-Polymarket opportunities. If you’re coming from centralized sportsbooks, note Polymarket’s geo-restrictions and that using VPNs violates Terms of Service. Settlement, resolution, and fiat onramps differ across venues.

Practical setup and risk management

PolyArb runs non-custodially and uses your wallet to place orders through Polymarket’s Relayer; you keep control of funds and outcome tokens. The service includes Telegram and Discord alerts so you can monitor fills and outstanding positions. Manage position size to limit exposure to UMA disputes, settlement timing, and market-moving news. Do not assume any trade is unconditionally risk-free: always weigh resolution risk, fees, and smart-contract considerations.
