On popular culture prediction platforms like Polymarket, contrarian traders are performing a clever arbitrage maneuver.



While most people follow the hype on Reddit and passionately discuss the fate of a well-known TV series character, the real snipers are precisely targeting the wave of pessimism. One trader seized this opportunity, accurately controlling a $26,000 position and turning a bearish outlook into a profit.

This is the most interesting part of prediction markets—group sentiment and actual trends always diverge. When retail investors are driven by public opinion, the true traders have already taken the opposite position. This trade serves as a vivid lesson: go against the crowd, control risk, and wait patiently for gains. Throughout the process, the position has been steadily increasing from the start.

Ha, it's the same old reverse arbitrage trick again. Retail investors are still arguing on Reddit, but they've already been harvested.

It's the same old reverse arbitrage trick again. Retail investors are still arguing heatedly on Reddit, while big players have already started reverse bottom-fishing. This $26,000 trade is indeed ruthless, betting on human greed and panic often leading to misjudgments. The Polymarket platform thrives on this.

This is true trading wisdom. A reverse sniper shot can earn tens of thousands of dollars, while retail investors are still arguing on Reddit.

It's the same old trick of reverse operation again. To put it nicely, it's just gambling on human greed. Waiting for the next retail investor to get burned and come to Reddit to complain.

In simple terms, retail investors are collectively performing "Schrödinger's Bull Market," while veterans have long seen through this emotional dance. The $26,000 position has been in the red from the very beginning, which is how the supply and demand curve should look.
