It’s been a long time since I really put thought into Polymarket’s hottest markets. The reason is simple: the cost-effectiveness has dropped. You have to stay idle and grind just to find an opportunity—switching back and forth among a dozen or so markets, watching the charts, and also keeping an eye on the order feed. You end up busy all the time, but there aren’t many chances to make a move, and you might even get trapped and be unable to sell.

Luckily, today in Shanghai, Chengdu, and Wuhan there were plenty of opportunities, while Guangzhou and Beijing turned out to be the ones that set you up. As for lottery opportunities in other Asian cities, none of them worked out—just a small profit.
