Other common Polymarket approaches
Arbitrage
Attempts to combine prices across outcomes or venues so the total payout exceeds total cost. Execution, fees, leg risk and settlement differences can prevent a theoretical arbitrage from being locked in.
Market making
Posts bids and offers to earn spread while managing inventory. It requires active order management and can lose when information moves the fair price.
Rule and resolution analysis
Studies exact definitions, primary sources, deadlines and edge cases. This is central to every strategy because the written criteria determine the payout.
Risk management
Controls position size, correlation, liquidity exposure and settlement assumptions. The goal is resilience to rare losses, not a promise that losses cannot happen.
