How Polymarket betting works

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction-market exchange on Polygon where each outcome share pays $1 if it resolves YES (or the specified outcome wins) and $0 otherwise. Markets use the Gnosis Conditional Token Framework for outcome tokens and a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) for matching. You trade with pUSD and Polymarket sponsors gas through its Relayer.

Common trading tactics

Traders place limit orders, or use Fill-And-Kill (FAK) market orders to avoid excessive slippage. In binary markets the two outcome prices should sum to $1.00 at fair value; multi-outcome markets sum to $1.00 across all outcomes. Frequent tactics include buying mispriced complete sets or legs when Σ best asks < $1.00 to lock in an edge.

Arbitrage, risks, and practical limits

Intra-market arbitrage exploits price sums below $1.00, but it's not without risks: UMA resolution disputes can delay or change payouts; partial fills and slippage can erode profit; taker fees vary by category; and smart-contract or settlement timing risks exist. Polymarket also geo-blocks order placement in many jurisdictions, and VPNs are prohibited by the Terms of Service.

FAQ

Is Polymarket betting legal where I live?
Polymarket enforces geographic restrictions and blocks order placement in many countries and regions; check Polymarket's official restrictions page. Using a VPN to bypass blocks violates the Terms of Service.
What is the difference between market and limit orders on Polymarket?
Limit orders sit on the CLOB until matched. Polymarket's market helper returns FAK (Fill-And-Kill) orders that execute immediately or cancel, which limits slippage.
Can PolyArb trade across other platforms like Kalshi or PredictIt?
PolyArb focuses on intra-Polymarket arbitrage. Cross-platform arb (Kalshi, PredictIt, Manifold) is a different class of strategy and is out of scope for PolyArb's core bot.
