@thejayden What would the buy condition and sizing calculation be to maximize reversal potential to get < 1 and minimize risk of a loss. I tried to emulate a similar strategy and thatās where I got stuck reverse engineering.
My ideas for lowering mention sniping #latency:
- Colocate a server
- Host my own voice to text models (maybe add speaker identification)
- Rewrite logic in rust
- Faster streaming service
Feel free to share your thoughts or if your interested in getting access to the code š¬
Sniping mention markets on @Kalshi . Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Hitting every word, but competition is heating up. Trades arenāt going thru like before. Itās definitely a latency game now.
Iāll share my thoughts below on lowering latency š
Starting to see promising arbitrage and sniping results from my bots for @Polymarket and @Kalshi
P/L for this week: ~30%
Plan to scale capital over time with confidence/ consistency and test more strategies.
Definitely hard when trying to do two things that can consume all your time. Sacrifices are inevitable.
One thing thatās been helping me is to remind myself to prioritize health and energy. When I fail to do that my productivity slips and more costly mistakes are made.
Most important:
- Touching grass
- Consistent sleep schedule
- Drinking water
Glad you liked it! There are tons of interesting insights to be found around prediction markets.
I think a big X factor that is overlooked is how accessible the data is. For example if you want quality historic price data for stocks or options, itās cumbersome and expensive. In contrast predictive markets provide it for free:
@Kalshi - https://t.co/zX8AVDbiAq
@Polymarket - https://t.co/O0NiMtUJha
Prediction markets are at the stage options were in the 1960s or sports betting pre-2018.
The data shows why theyāre tiny today ā and what it will take for them to go mainstream. š§µ
1/ Current state
ā¢Kalshi: ~$1B monthly volume, 62% market share. Median contract = only ~$9K traded. Liquidity depends on one market maker (SIG).
ā¢Polymarket: ~$1.1B monthly, but concentrated in a few traders. Avg trade ā $4.8K. U.S. access only now returning with QCEX license.
By comparison:
ā¢U.S. options: hundreds of millions of contracts/day.
ā¢U.S. sports betting: $150B handle in 2024 after PASPA repeal.
2/ Why options exploded (1973)
ā¢CBOE launch + SEC approval = legal clarity
ā¢BlackāScholes = shared pricing model
ā¢Market makers designated to post continuous quotes
Liquidity went from obscure OTC to one of the worldās deepest markets.
3/ Why sports betting exploded (2018)
ā¢PASPA repeal = regulatory clarity
ā¢Mobile apps = easy access
ā¢FanDuel/DraftKings leveraged DFS base ā instant liquidity flywheel
Volume jumped from near-zero to $150B+ handle in <6 years.
4/ Prediction markets today
They lack:
ā¢Regulatory clarity: still treated as gambling in many states.
ā¢Depth: Kalshi median market ~$9K vs. $100M+ for liquid options.
ā¢Shared framework: no universal way to hedge or quote risk.
Liquidity is fragmented, spreads wide, and big orders move markets.
5/ The path forward
For prediction markets to go mainstream:
ā¢Regulatory āPASPA momentā ā clear national approval.
ā¢Institutional MMs (more SIGs) to tighten spreads.
ā¢Standardized risk framework (probability surfaces, correlation models).
ā¢Integration into financial infra ā brokers, APIs, structured products.
Without these, volumes stay in the billions.
With them, weāre talking trillions.
6/ The takeaway
Options and sports books didnāt grow because people suddenly cared more about stocks or sports.
They grew because the rules changed and a framework for risk emerged.
Prediction markets are waiting for the same spark.

The ārigged realityā take has it backwards.
With real liquidity, prediction markets stabilize: deep books make manipulation costly + arbitrage wipes it out.
And real liquidity brings regulation, which fights info laundering = insider trading.
Instead of chaos, you get the cleanest audit of truth.
Liquidity is here, more is coming:

Regulation has started:

More is needed:

Building a realtime data core that pulls from @Kalshi and @Polymarket in hopes of finding some alpha. The end goal being to create, test and validate different trading strategies.
Seems there maybe opportunities for:
- Market making
- Cross platform arbitrage
- Sniping
- +EV Bets
Open to connecting with anyone who finds this interesting.
