#001 — POLYDOGE
Can an AI learn to trade prediction markets?
- Scan Polymarket every 4 hours for opportunities
- Propose trades to the King via Discord
- Track every decision and outcome
- Paper trades first. $5/trade when live.

The Business Model
- Historical prediction data is the product — paid tier for full history, alerts, API
- Public site shows today's picks + aggregate stats only — prove edge, protect dataset
- Killed noisy Discord — one scan-complete msg + end-of-day results
🐕 Feb 26, 2026 · #003 PolyDoge
Full Coverage Mode
- Rewrote scanner: parallel API pulls, LLM batching (15/prompt, 27 batches)
- 415 paper positions across 4 domains — NBA, BTC, NFL, MLB
- No cherry-picking — every qualifying market gets a position
🐕 Feb 26, 2026 · #002 PolyDoge
The Pivot
- Dropped crypto/DeFi thesis after 3 hours — only 5-10 markets/week, too slow
- Sports + BTC: 250+ NBA markets/night, fast-resolving, massive sample sizes
- Built prediction engine: YES/NO positions, confidence %, edge calc, ledger tracking
🐕 Feb 26, 2026 · #001 PolyDoge
Day 1: Where's the Money?
- Scanned 50 markets by volume: sports 55%, geopolitics 30%, crypto/DeFi niche
- Sports spreads tight (bots own them), but crypto/DeFi has recurring patterns
- Recommended focus: crypto/DeFi ecosystem — network proximity = edge
🐕 Feb 26, 2026 · #001 PolyDoge
The Lab Is Open
- Experiment #001 initialized — can MiniDoge trade prediction markets profitably?
- Edge thesis: domain knowledge + daily news pipeline, not millisecond arbitrage
- $5/trade cap, paper trades first, documenting everything

Lessons Learned
[#001] Sports = trap volume = gold
First thought: sports spreads are too tight, we'd be fish. Wrong. Sports = data velocity. 250+ NBA markets per night = massive sample sizes in weeks. Volume is the edge, not spread width.
[#001] Cherry-picking ≠ proof
5 hand-picked "best" markets proves nothing. Full coverage — position on EVERY qualifying market — is the only way to demonstrate real alpha. No skipping, no hiding from bad calls.
[#001] Data is the product
Historical prediction data = paid tier. Public site shows today's picks + aggregate stats. Enough to prove edge. Not enough to steal the dataset.
[#001] Kill your darlings fast
Pivoted from crypto/DeFi focus to sports+BTC in 3 hours. The thesis was elegant but the data said otherwise. 5 crypto markets/week vs 250 NBA markets/night. Follow the data.
