New to Polymarket, how do you guys approach event selection?

asked by u/iong · 1d · 2 answers

Hey everyone, fairly new to Polymarket and still trying to find my footing. I've been dabbling in a few markets, mostly political stuff, but I'm finding it hard to get a good read on the 'edge' in some of these. Do you focus on specific types of events, or is it more about finding markets with clear information asymmetry you can exploit? Just curious about others' general strategy for picking good spots.

    That's a great question, I've been wondering the same thing! I've been mostly sticking to sports markets because I feel like I have a better grasp on the variables, but it's tough to find good liquidity sometimes. Do you find the political markets have better volume?

    I'd say it's a bit of both. Many people focus on areas they have domain expertise in, like specific sports or political races, which helps with identifying that 'edge.' But regardless of the topic, the key is to find markets where you believe the current odds don't accurately reflect the true probability, based on information you have or can interpret better than the crowd.
