🚨 Don't delete this article before reading it carefully.
All truly profitable strategies on Polymarket are stuck in two edge zones.
The middle area is a graveyard.
Once you understand why, you won't lose anymore.
Your entry points have been secretly eating away at your profits all along. Basically, it's fees, but almost no one thinks about it.
The fees here are quadratic. Near 1 cent and 99 cents, they are very cheap; in the middle at 50 cents, they are the most expensive.
Look at where the big funds are lurking.
Sweepers buy on the near-99-cent side of the order book, almost without paying fees.
Specialized black horse bots buy in at 5 to 20 cents, which is nearly free.
Market makers place GTC limit orders, which not only have zero fees but also earn rebates.
See the common point? Their strategies all live on the edge of the order book.
Now look at the middle. Making directional bets around 50 cents is where fees bite the hardest.
You need real skill to cover this cost before earning your first penny.
That's why your coin-flip machine with a 53% win rate still bleeds losses.
It's also why many mythic-level bots collapse once you factor in fees.
Look at this account:
He made $2.3 million from Bitcoin arbitrage and then disappeared.
Because his entry points are always near 50 cents, and fees completely eat up his advantage.
The rule is simple: operate on the edge, avoid the middle.
Either buy on the almost certain side with negligible fees, or place passive buy orders to earn rebates.
That huge fee near 50 cents is a tax on anyone who thinks they can predict the next move.
Stop paying it.
Unless you've calculated and the result is truly positive.
Good luck.
