A Polymarket trader just pulled off an eye-catching move: turning $1,000 into $2 million through microstructure arbitrage. The strategy? Executing over 13,000 high-frequency trades to capitalize on market inefficiencies and bid-ask spreads. This kind of trade execution showcases how precise timing and algorithmic approaches can exploit brief opportunities in prediction market microstructure. Whether this approach scales beyond individual traders or requires institutional infrastructure remains an open question in the community.

Whoa, $1,000 equals 20 million? How aggressive must the microstructure arbitrage be? Making 13,000 trades and really earning like that?

Whoa, $1,000 turning into $2 million? How tiny must the arbitrage opportunity be? 13,000 trades—are they all just bots running?
