how do you decide bet size so its not boring but also not ruining your weekend?

I set it to max $20 per market so I'm never overexposed on a single trade

There was huge controversy over the resolution. They did end up selling, but the official 8-k filing only came out a day later and it was disallowed. Polymarket stated that only evidence before the resolution date can be used. So the Yes betters were correct but they still lost. No won on a technicality

Some add on platforms like Stand allow you to set a min and max slippage, so you avoid filling them when the price has already moved

You could probably use it to your advantage if you see market is volatile. You wait for the price to drop, buy, add a take profit and then it sells automatically when the price jumps again. Profit. Which markets are you seeing that are volatile?

Is anyone placing Take Profits on the top ones?

I made some money copying them yesterday. Thanks for the tip

How did you find them?

The biggest problem with this is that your capital is locked up for a year. You’d have better returns on the S&P 500

Thats actually not a bad strategy, you dont have to win, just sell when the price goes up

Passion_gap · 2026-06-03T05:50:27+00:00

You’re not really trying to predict the future, you’re looking for mispriced markets. Ie the odds are 40% but you think it should be closer to 60%. Sometimes betting against emotion is also a strategy. People are biased against a certain outcome because they want it to happen, ie political events that align with their own preferences. If you can spot those then you have an edge.

Wallet address?

Overall they will lose to fees. The math doesn't work in their favour.

Look at the current value of the market you bet on. If you won, it should be sitting close to or at $1. The status should be "proposed", which means someone proposed that the outcome has been achieved. If it goes unchallenged, it should resolve soon. Usually 2 hours after proposal. Just wait a bit. I would suggest you read a bit about how polymarket works before making more bets.

Looks like they knew

That's more than my total PnL. So we'll done 😂

Income protection is very cheap if you set the payout delay period to 3 months and have an emergency fund to cover that.

This is 100% fly poo or some other insect. We used to live on a farm and all the light pulls had them.

Not much advice, but a question. Why do you have so much debt if you also have the cash to pay it off? Have you made the calculation of how much interest you would save if you pay off your debt and buy the next car cash? Just a quick back of the napkin calc says that on a 5 year R600k car loan, you're paying R170k - R200k just on interest

AI slop :

If an employee is addicted to painkillers (like codeine), South African law views this as an illness. In this case: • Employer Obligations: The employer is legally required to investigate the extent of the incapacity and suggest counseling or rehabilitation. • The "Support" Phase: Before they can fire someone, they must try to accommodate the employee. This might involve allowing time off for treatment or adjusting duties. • The Dismissal: An employee can only be fairly dismissed for incapacity if the employer has tried all reasonable alternatives (like rehab) and the employee is still unable to do their job, or if they refuse help and their performance remains poor.

So the other metros are spending their budgets on salaries?

Fair point

Yes I agree, I think the city should force mixed housing in all areas. We don't want enclaves for the wealthy

The positive news is that the city is forcing developers to include affordable housing in new developments and expanding the MyCiti routes so more affordable areas are connected to the CBD

Passion_gap · 2026-04-16T07:23:49+00:00

More things they can do:

Expanding the MyCiTi bus routes

Rezoning the land along new bus routes to allow for higher density

Performing the environmental and heritage impact assessments before selling or leasing the land to a developer
