Polymarket bot norm1e69 nets $246K via 45,799 tiny arbitrage trades

A Polymarket trading bot account norm1e69 went viral: $18.6M traded since August, $246.8K profit, but its biggest single win was just $264.63 — averaging about $5.39 per market across 45,799 markets.
The strategy is machine-like arbitrage, not genius prediction:
- It lives in BTC, ETH, SOL "Up or Down" markets that settle every 5–15 minutes, plus a few League of Legends games
- Per the circulating breakdown, it buys both Up and Down in 89% of markets — the two sides always pay out $1 combined, so buying the pair for under $1 locks in the gap risk-free
- The edge: a loop that never gets tired — let code take the 45,799 trades and let Claude hunt cheap pairs
Takeaway: you don't need a smarter model than everyone else, you need automation that doesn't fatigue.
