Traders use pizza orders to predict the market, Polymarket makes $80,000 overnight

【Crypto World】A trader recently shared a bold trading story on X. Using a peculiar data monitoring tool, he made a profit of $80,000 overnight on Polymarket(, a well-known prediction market platform).

What’s his secret? He developed a robot that tracks the dining habits of specific institutions. By monitoring surges in orders during unconventional hours, he can infer whether insiders are busy with “special affairs.” When the robot detects abnormal signals, he immediately acts—buying large amounts of shares related to a certain geopolitical event on Polymarket. When the risk event finally unfolds and the prediction is correct, he profits.

This case is quite interesting, showing that some traders are using unconventional data sources( to extract signals from everyday life details) to drive trading decisions in crypto prediction markets. Although this approach is a bit hardcore, it indeed reflects the creative thinking of Web3 traders—how to gain an informational edge through alternative data is an ongoing exploration for prediction market players.
