A trading algorithm, known as the swisstony wallet, has reportedly transformed a mere $5 into $3.7 million by exploiting broadcast delays on Polymarket, a prediction market platform. The algorithm capitalizes on the time lag between live sports events and their broadcast on TV, which can range from 15 to 40 seconds. By receiving real-time data directly from stadiums via API, the bot executes trades before the market adjusts to the actual game events.
This strategy, termed 'Reality Arbitrage,' allows the bot to buy undervalued bets before the broadcast catches up, effectively profiting from the delay. The swisstony wallet's performance chart shows an astonishing 740,000% return on investment, raising questions about market efficiency and fairness. As more traders become aware of this exploit, the opportunity to profit may diminish rapidly.
