Funny enough, I was interviewed for this article, but none of my points made it into the piece.
Iām not a trader. Iāve traded enough to understand how things work. Iāve opened multiple Polymarket accounts and tested different strategies to learn what works and what doesnāt.
For example:
Are divorce markets gambling or smart ways for culturally savvy women to beat the bank?
Take the June 30 divorce markets. Margot Robbie at 96c? Bill Clinton at 98c? Thatās a 4c and 2c return over 3 months. Annualized, itās more like 12% and 8% return. Diversified over several markets (so one black swan doesnāt kill your bankroll), this seems like a good way for prediction markets to be an alternative to other yield investments.
What Iāve said many times: prediction markets arenāt just for trading, theyāre a news engine. Media often portrays prediction markets in an ugly way because theyāre threatened by that shift.
No one pushed me into this space.
I discovered prediction markets in August, did my own research, made my own content, was not sponsored by anyone and reached out to the big PM companies myself.
Everyone has a role here. Whale traders wonāt make content. Content creators wonāt be full time traders. Iām a builder in the space, and I make content because I want to help others understand what Iāve learned so far.

One of the safest bets in my opinion right now š
@Polymarket
Around +5ā6% to the deposit, nothing crazy, but very clean.
ChatGPT has been holding the #1 spot in the US App Store for a long time now, with a huge gap from the rest.
Momentum hasnāt really faded, and competitors arenāt even close.
Sometimes the best plays are the boring ones.
Polymarketās 2026 Partnerships: Prediction Markets Already Going Mainstream
2026 has only just begun, but @Polymarket is already moving fast.
Before the year has fully taken shape, the platform has lined up collaborations that push prediction markets far beyond their original niche. What stands out is not just who Polymarket is working with, but how early these moves are happening in the year.
Together, these partnerships point to a clear ambition: make prediction markets part of everyday information, culture, and decision-making.
Some of these distinguished partnerships include:
Golden Globes
One of the most eye-catching moves of the year was Polymarketās partnership with the Golden Globes. For the first time, a major entertainment award show integrated live prediction market odds into the viewing experience.
Instead of relying only on critics or social media hype, audiences could see what thousands of people collectively thought would win, in real time. This pushed prediction markets into pop culture and proved they can add context, not noise.
Parcl
Polymarket also expanded beyond politics and current events through its collaboration with Parcl, a real-estate data platform. Together, they launched housing price prediction markets based on transparent city-level indices. This matters because it shows prediction markets can be used to track slow-moving, real-world economic trends, not just one-day events. Itās a step toward using collective intelligence to understand the economy.
Dow Jones Media Group
Another major signal of credibility came from Polymarketās data partnership with Dow Jones Media Group. Polymarket odds began appearing across outlets like The Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch.
This was a turning point. When traditional financial media starts using prediction market data, it reframes Polymarket from a betting product into an information source. It suggests that markets built on incentives can sometimes reflect reality faster than polls or expert commentary.
New York Rangers
Sports was another big focus early in 2026, and they carried into hockey with the New York Rangers partnership.
Polymarket integrated prediction markets into game broadcasts and in-arena experiences at Madison Square Garden. This wasnāt about gambling for its own sake, but about making games more interactive and measurable through crowd belief.
Weāre just 14 days into the new year so you just know this is only the Beginning
Polymarketās early 2026 partnerships tells us that at the start of the year, the platform is positioning prediction markets as a tool for understanding the world, not just speculating on it.
By entering media, entertainment, sports, real estate, and regulated consumer apps so early, Polymarket is setting the tone for what the rest of the year could look like.

How I farm profit on market that most people call pure gambling?š°
I've already shared my insights and tips multiple times about betting on the Elonās tweets count, but here are the key points:
> ENTER LOW!!!
At the end of the day, Elon is a real human being and his actions can't be fully predictable, so entering above $0.50 is way too risky.
Even though many people are used to thinking that 50%+ means a high probability, in Elon markets THIS DOES NOT WORK.
> Analyze how much sleep he had over the past few days, where he's likely located, and how long it's been since his last chatty mood.
The more time has passed since the last chatty mood, the higher the chance he'll do a lot of tweets.
> replies DO NOT COUNT ā only quotes and original posts matter.
> Learn patterns: if he's at a conference or business meetings - expect very few tweets.
But after that ā there's a high chance of a repost spam session :)
Not financial advice.
āHow is @fogo artificially keeping its token price inflated?
š§”FOGO is pumping an empty order book on Hyperliquid.
To maintain a price thatās completely unrealistic for their network - 1.5b fdv valuation, to make this price they need only ~$150k.
š§”You can see this on the screenshot ā a negative position accumulated by their wallet to inflate expectations among retail investors.
āļøThe key issue: their pre-market token has no other listings, which means no oracle to provide a fair price.
They exploit this and manipulate the market by liquidating shorts with just ~$150k.
š§”Additionally:
On https://t.co/h2d9f0Q54e, they created an empty order book at $700M FDV for only $1ā2k.
To crash it, ~$500 is enough.
š§”Day-one unlock is 39%.
Even if we assume the team and investors wonāt sell on day one, thereās still ~6% allocated to the community.
āQuestion:
Can a blockchain with zero ecosystem and ~ $100M valuation in investments absorb that level of sell pressure, even at $700M FDV?
Iām confident the answer is no..
š§”Thatās why Iām buying positions on @Polymarket :
⢠$1B ā NO
⢠$2B ā NO
⢠$700M ā NO
NEW Polymarket: Will Elon Musk rejoin the Trump Administration in 2026?
I've been diving into the resolution criteria for this market, and honestly, they seem pretty murky:
ļ¼"Publicly announced by official government channels": would a post on Truth Social or X actually count as an "official channel" for the market's resolution?
ļ¼If Trump officially nominates Musk for a cabinet position, the market resolves to "Yes" the moment the announcement is made - even if the Senate later blocks the appointment!
ļ¼"joke" risk: what's stopping Trump from making a statement just for the memes or as a joke?
I try to avoid trading on markets where the rules aren't crystal clear!
Putting the rules aside, I think it's legally disadvantageous for Musk to formally "join the administration" given his business empire and potential conflicts of interest!
Trove public sale total commitments - and why I am berrish about this sale.
General info about the sale :
ICO date: 8th Jan 5pm UTC - 11th Jan 5pm UTC
ICO supply: 12.5%
Raise target: $2,500,000
FDV: $20,000,000
My take:
> I don't believe there will be any considarable commitment to this sale.
Current volume is $68,033,318, which is statistically low for a solid
perp DEX. Quality perp projects usually have much higher volume.
> Another red flag is that they initially tried to raise at a $40m valuation, couldnāt properly justify it, and failed to hit the target. Later they said they would bring in investors, but that never happened and the plan was dropped. Investors were refunded and offered to join the $20m ICO on the same terms as everyone else. Also there is a limit ofc in the ICO ofc.
> It looks like the team is irresponsible and probably underfunded, and is trying to grind money through the ICO.
So Iām buying NO shares in the >$8M & >$10M range.

Polymarket prediction:
Arsenal to win the English Premier League ~73%
A 73% win chance on @Polymarket says pretty clearly, that Arsenal is in control.
This title push is built on numbers that usually belong to champions, and Arsenal have been giving us just that. They have continued to create chances consistently, and give up very little at the other end.
Simple story: they score enough, and concede less.
Their expected goals (xG) numbers tell the real story. Arsenal consistently generates chances that should lead to goals, while limiting opponents to low-quality shots. Teams that finish seasons with this kind of xG gap usually end up lifting trophies. This is a pattern weāve seen over and over in title-winning sides.
Now look at the opposition.
Manchester City are the closest threat, but their defense has been shakier than usual, and theyāve dropped points in games they normally control. Liverpool has been inconsistent, strong one week and flat the next. Tottenham is doing what Tottenham usually does . Chelsea are still rebuilding, Inconsistent results, a young squad, and no real title rhythm. Manchester United isnāt even in the conversation lol.
So while Arsenal keep stacking clean wins, their rivals are leaking points and confidence.
Momentum also matters.
Big wins over strong teams send a message, not just to fans, but to opponents. Arsenal now walk into games expecting to win, and thatās dangerous for everyone else.
Put it all together:
⢠Strong attacking data
⢠Elite defensive numbers
⢠Consistent form
⢠Rivals full of flaws
Thatās why a 73% Polymarket probability makes sense. If anything, it might still be conservative.
Conclusion:
Iāll be buying Arsenal to win the Premier League calmly, confidently, and will
probably be smiling when the times comes. The percentage might increase more so
buying now is probably the best move.
Nfa though, dyor.š
