How a Polymarket bet works and where PolyArb helps

A polymarket bet is a trade on Polymarket where you buy outcome shares that pay $1 if they resolve YES. Traders use the CLOB and pUSD to place limit or FAK orders; prices reflect market-implied probabilities. If you’re looking to profit from short-lived mispricings, arbitrage between complementary outcomes is common. PolyArb automates that process with 40ms latency, Telegram and Discord alerts, and a $7.62 minimum guaranteed edge per trade.

What a polymarket bet actually buys

When you place a polymarket bet you receive ERC-1155 outcome tokens under the Gnosis CTF. Each token is worth $1 if its outcome resolves YES and $0 otherwise. Trades settle in pUSD on Polygon; Polymarket sponsors gas through its Relayer so you don’t pay gas directly. Binary markets use YES and NO; multi-outcome markets split probability across N outcomes summing to $1.

Common order types and execution risks

Polymarket supports limit orders and market-style FAK orders that fill immediately or cancel. Spread, tick size, and taker fees affect execution; maker fees are zero. No trade is unconditional profit: resolution disputes via UMA, partial fills, slippage, fee changes, and settlement timing create real risks you must manage.

Why intra-market arbitrage exists

Intra-market arbitrage happens when summed best asks across complementary outcomes are less than $1. Buying the complete set (or both binary legs) locks a mathematical edge equal to $1 minus the sum of best asks. These edges are typically small and fleeting on liquid markets; speed and reliable order routing make the difference between capturing and missing them.

FAQ

Is a polymarket bet the same as placing a binary option?
They are similar in that each share pays $1 if YES; however Polymarket uses ERC-1155 outcome tokens and a CLOB on Polygon rather than centralized binary option contracts.
Can I place polymarket bets without paying gas?
Yes. Polymarket sponsors gas via its Relayer, so end users don’t pay gas for wallet deployment, approvals, CTF ops, or order placement.
Does PolyArb custody my funds to place arb trades?
No. PolyArb is non-custodial: it automates order placement and CTF actions while you retain control of your pUSD and wallets.
