Polymarket functions as a probability market where participants stake capital on outcomes. The market price directly reflects collective belief about event likelihood. For retail participants without domain expertise, sustainable edge is challenging to maintain.

After analyzing retail strategy patterns, I've identified three actionable approaches:

1
Endgame sweep: Capture small spreads through convergence into expiry with low-friction execution

2
Lottery flow: Purchase long-tail outcomes with minimal position sizing for nonlinear returns on reversals or jumps

3
Coin-holding hedge: Treat event contracts as simplified insurance, focusing on allocation and cost management
