Someone used a sports eSports prediction BOT on Polymarket, starting with $85 in July and earning a staggering $2.6 million.

It’s not based on advanced analytical skills, nor pure luck. It all comes down to one factor: speed.

Just look at these numbers:

Total profit and loss: $2.6M PnL
Number of bets placed: 15,712
Current position: approximately $200k
times profit: 31,400x

Imagine—going from $85 to $2.6 million. This is no joke.

What is the essence of prediction markets? Information asymmetry. Participants who can perceive real-time updates of sports events and eSports matches faster than others always have an edge before the market prices in. That’s exactly what this BOT does: it doesn’t follow the crowd’s analysis, doesn’t wait for consensus, it just gets there one step ahead of the competition to execute trades.

The 31,400x return accumulated over more than 15,000 bets—what’s behind it? Consistent execution, ruthless algorithms, and market inefficiencies’ dividends.

Of course, this doesn’t mean everyone can replicate such gains in prediction markets. But it does prove one thing: in crypto trading, especially in derivative markets like Polymarket, those who master information flow, optimize execution speed, and stick to their strategies often can earn excess returns from the market.

Really? $85炒到2.6 million? Speed is life, brother. --- This bot probably got banned by Poly long ago, too outrageous. --- There is indeed an information gap, but can 15,000 bets all be profitable? Feels a bit unbelievable. --- Algorithms are ruthless, markets are inefficient, no doubt about that. The problem is we don't have that bot. --- Damn, this return rate—if it weren’t for the speed, I wouldn’t believe these numbers. --- 31,400 times? I just want to know if this guy is still on Poly. --- Sports eSports BOT, in simple terms, is about being a nanosecond faster than the opponent, right? --- Want to copy? First, have an algorithm that can handle 15,000 trades, then talk. --- Once such orders are discovered by market makers, it’s game over. Just early dividends. --- Speed comes first. This is no joke in crypto trading. Just look at those high-frequency trading teams to understand.

$85 turned into $2.6 million, this is just outrageous, speed really is the key That's why I always say information advantage is the real money, analysis is secondary The bot executed 15,712 times relentlessly, humans would have gone crazy long ago, this is the mindset of a winner Speaking of which, who the hell can consistently find such opportunities? Most people are still studying K-line charts

Bro, these data are a bit outrageous, only three months? --- Speed is everything, this is the truth of the market --- 31400 times, I’m literally stunned --- BOT will never hesitate, that’s how you win --- The moment information asymmetry disappears, the game is over --- From $85 to 2.6 million, how can that not drive people crazy --- The speed advantage of eSports data flow, can no one replicate it? --- Execution crushes all analysis, wake up everyone --- 15,712 bets, behind it is a pure cold algorithm --- Predicting the market is just like a fast fish eating a slow fish, nothing else

Speed is money, now I understand Making money is about exploiting information gaps, machines are way faster than humans 15,000 bets with stable profits, now that's real skill By the way, is Polymarket really that good? Feels like just cutting leeks Algorithms are ruthless, humans are emotional, that's the difference From $85 to $2.6 million, I just can't figure out how In the era of machine trading, do retail investors really have a way out? The big shot's BOT outperformed the market, I can't outsmart the market with my brain Speed advantage is crucial, but can it be maintained in the long run? That's why you need to hustle with technology, or you'll just get cut

Wow, from $85 to 2.6 million, this BOT's speed is truly incredible... Wait, is this data real? Over 15,000 trades only earning 31,400 times? Speed is justice, and in this market, it's just that brutal. I just want to know if this BOT's strategy will be repeatedly shuffled... Algorithms are ruthless, but the market is also ruthless; sooner or later, it will be copied to death. Is this real? Why do I feel like some key information is missing... This is the paradise for players with an information advantage, wow.
