#玩家通过预测马斯克推文数量在Polymarket赚取 34.5 million dollars🎯 34.5 million dollars case: Make big money on Polymarket relying on Musk's tweet count
1. Core of the event
- Player: Anonymous quantitative trader (verifiable on-chain)
- Target: Market for predicting the number of Musk X (formerly Twitter) tweets per week/day on Polymarket
- Profit: 34.5 million dollars (approximately 340k USDC)
- Time: End of 2025 to early 2026, single cycle/multiple cycles accumulated
2. Strategy: Statistical arbitrage (simple but effective)
1. Data foundation
- Crawl Musk's historical tweet volume: weekdays > weekends, most active in February, winter is 3.1 times busier than summer
- Calculate daily/weekly averages: for example, December daily average is about 48 tweets
2. Market pricing deviation
- Polymarket prices by range (e.g., 320–339, 340–359…), retail investors often underestimate high-probability ranges
- Players found: the total probability for the 320–400 range is only 79%, but the historical win rate is over 90%
3. Operational methods
- Heavily buy the entire range of 320–400 (diversified betting, covering real distribution)
- Low cost per unit (a few cents), correct settlement is 1 dollar/unit, extremely high odds
- Use mathematical expectation rather than emotion, execute repeatedly
3. Key logic (replicable)
- It’s not about luck, it’s statistical arbitrage**: Using historical patterns to crush retail investor emotional pricing**
- Risk control: Cover high-probability ranges, low cost, high win rate, large odds
- Market loophole: Retail investors on Polymarket often misprice continuous data (tweet counts) relative to the true distribution
4. Similar opportunities (can copy homework)
- Celebrity post counts (Trump, CZ, Vitalik)
- Weekly updates of crypto projects, on-chain activity volume
- Sports event scores, home/away win rates
- Macroeconomic data (CPI, non-farm) range predictions
