A trainee programmer working in Guangzhou built a trading bot using Claude and netted $63,000 on Polymarket
Median trade size: $7. Average edge per trade: 2.5% stable spread.
No single home-run trade — just a 2.5% edge repeated 38,764 times, stacked up.
Three moves combined:
- Use a probability model to find undervalued outcomes, place low-limit orders
- Near market close, if a spread still exists, sweep the almost-certain side
- Pick up cheap tails — if the market suddenly jolts, they act as a buffer
No directional bet, just feed on that few-seconds pricing gap.
This is what running a quant system in a prediction market looks like.
