time factor in polymarket
for the 2028 president bet, results only come out near the end of 2028
now it’s 2025, 3 yrs away
so if we choose this one, it takes 3 yrs to materialize the profit if any
and polymarket offers 4% apy interests
so any strategy also has a hidden time opportunity cost
so likely it’s still better to win by better predictions
polymarket offers sell at any time
and price could change any time
it means if you get better prediction you can profit before the results are out
and it’s like the stock market, with value being the real outcome in the end, or the crowd betted price.
