Polymarket Sports Arb

Open Source polymarket_binary_arb prediction API-Based MIT License

Binary arbitrage on Polymarket sports markets. Buys YES on both sides when combined < $0.98. One side always pays $1 — guaranteed profit. Based on the $619K strategy (7,877 trades, ~$79/trade avg). Profit is guaranteed in theory — one outcome MUST happen.

Strategy Blueprint: This bot operates on prediction market contract prices, not traditional stock/crypto data. Backtest results are simulated to illustrate the strategy logic. Real performance depends on execution speed, market liquidity, and platform fees. No guarantees of profit.

Based on a real Polymarket wallet that made $619,000 in 12 months using pure math — no prediction required. The Strategy: In any binary sports market (Team A vs Team B), one side MUST win. If you can buy YES on both sides for less than $1 combined, you're guaranteed a profit. Example: Finland YES at $0.37 + Switzerland YES at $0.63 = $1.00 (break even). But sometimes you find Finland at $0.37 + Switzerland at $0.58 = $0.95 — that's a guaranteed $0.05 profit minus the 2% platform fee. How it works: 1. Scan Polymarket CLOB API every 45 seconds for binary sports markets 2. Check if YES(A) + YES(B) < $0.98 (accounting for 2% fee) 3. Buy both sides simultaneously with Fill-or-Kill orders 4. Wait for the game to end — winning side pays $1, losing side goes to $0 5. Collect profit, reinvest, repeat Reference wallet: 0xD9E0AACa471f48F91A26E8669A805f2 — 7,877 trades, ~21/day, $3K-$9K per side, +$619K total. The full source code includes Polymarket CLOB API integration, orderbook parsing, position sizing, and risk management.
