Nothing left unsaid
Why is the training free? Here's the straight answer
We trade these markets ourselves and we build tools for them. Later we'll offer those tools on a subscription — we're saying so upfront so you're not looking for the catch.
But any tool has the same problem: it's useless to someone who doesn't understand how the market works, where the share price comes from, or why you never put your whole balance into one trade. That person loses money, blames the tool, and leaves.
So we teach first, for free. You'll learn the mechanics, practise the strategies without money, and decide for yourself whether you need anything else. If you do, we'll offer it. If you don't, the knowledge and the skill stay with you either way.
We do not take funds under management, we do not sell signals, and we do not promise returns. This isn't charity — it's how we build an audience that understands what it's doing.
Why now
Prediction markets today are where crypto was in 2016
Prediction markets have stopped being a niche for enthusiasts: volumes are growing, platforms are moving out of the grey zone into regulated territory, and institutional money is arriving.
What that means in practice: the market is still inefficient. Share prices regularly diverge from real probabilities, spreads are wide, and there are orders of magnitude fewer professional participants here than in equities or crypto.
Those divergences are exactly what people who understand the mechanics get paid for. In two or three years, when the large professional desks arrive, the gaps will close — the same way they already closed on traditional exchanges.
The window is open. It won't stay open forever.
How it works
Arguments about the future that pay real money
Polymarket is the largest venue where people from all over the world take positions on future events. No derivatives, no exchange jargon — it works the way it does in real life, except settlement is automatic.
1
You pick a question
"Will the Fed cut rates in September?", "Who wins the election?", "Will this team win the match?", "Will Bitcoin be above $X by Friday?"
2
You buy a share
"YES" if you think the event will happen. "NO" if you think it won't.
3
The price is the probability
A share costs between 1 and 99 cents. If YES costs $0.62, the market puts the odds of the event at 62%.
4
Event happens — the share becomes $1.00
You paid $0.62, you receive $1.00, you keep $0.38 per share.
5
You don't have to wait for the outcome
You bought at $0.40, the event became more likely, the share rose to $0.75 — sell right now and take the $0.35.
You cannot lose more than you put in.The maximum loss on a trade equals the price of the share. There is no leverage, no liquidation, no margin call, and no request to top up your account.
Where the profit comes from
Three ways people earn on prediction markets
Guessing at random is not a strategy. Three things get paid on this market: other people's expertise, your own informational edge, and mathematics. We cover all three, from the simplest to the hardest.
Following the smart money
The idea.Polymarket publishes an open leaderboard — the trade history and results of every participant. Some of them are consistently profitable across hundreds of trades. You'll learn to select those people by objective metrics and to read the logic behind their entries.
What you'll learn.How to read a leaderboard, which metrics lie and which don't, and how to tell a genuine edge from a lucky short run.
Beginner — where almost everyone starts
Your informational edge
The idea.A share price is the averaged opinion of a crowd. Crowds are wrong on a schedule: they react to news late, overprice loud events and underprice boring ones. If you follow a specific subject closely, you will regularly spot markets where the price doesn't match reality.
What you'll learn.How to turn your understanding of a subject into a number, compare that number with the market price, and work out whether a trade is worth opening at all.
Intermediate — the most interesting strategy for well-read people
Mathematics and price gaps
The idea.The YES and NO shares on one question should always add up to exactly $1.00. During busy moments the sum temporarily drifts apart. These situations don't require you to predict the outcome at all: the profit comes from the price difference itself.
What you'll learn.How to find those situations, how to calculate the real return after fees, and why most apparent gaps are actually traps.
Advanced
All three strategies are taught as manual trading — you place the trades yourself and understand why. How this scales further, we'll show at the end of the course.
See it live
Watch what this actually looks like on screen
No slides, no theory. A real screen recording: we open the platform, find a market where the price diverges from the real probability, talk through the reasoning out loud, and place the trade. You'll see the whole process from start to finish.
We're not going to tell you this is easy money. Most beginners on any market lose their first deposit — and almost always for the same three reasons. The whole course is built around making sure you don't repeat them.
Practice mode firstYou test your strategy on live markets and log every trade, but without real money. After a while you'll have your own statistics: how many trades, what share you got right, what your expected value looks like. Only then does putting money in make sense.
Position sizing rulesConcrete limits: what percentage of your capital may go into a single trade, daily and monthly loss caps, and when to stop entirely. We give you a calculator that works it out for you.
A trade journalWithout written records it is impossible to tell whether your approach works or you simply got lucky. We give you a ready template and teach you to read your own numbers.
What we don't doWe don't take funds under management, we don't ask for access to your accounts or wallets, we don't sell signals, and we don't promise returns. What you get is knowledge and method.
Who is responsible for what
Let's draw the line clearly and upfront, so there's no misunderstanding later.
We are responsible for this:that the course materials do what they claim — explain the mechanics of the market, cover the strategies, and set out a method for managing risk.
You are responsible for everything else:the decision to participate in prediction markets, the choice of strategy, the size of every trade, the amounts you deposit, compliance with the laws of your country and the rules of the platform, your tax obligations — and the financial outcome, whatever it turns out to be.
We are not liablefor your losses, lost profits, the actions or failures of any trading platform, or any other consequence of your decisions. Everything you do on the market, you do at your own risk.
We do not provide individual investment advice and we do not provide financial services. No course material constitutes an instruction to place any specific trade.
No method guarantees a profit. These rules limit your losses — they don't eliminate them. Most participants on any market lose money at the start, and you may be one of them. Only use funds whose loss would not change your life.
In practice
What this looks like in practice
Case 1. Why a 37% hit rate can still be profitable
Starting capital
$99.00
Period
3 hours
Strategy
Following top leaderboard participants
Trade size
Fixed, $5.00
Trades
8
Correct
3 of 8 (37.5%)
Result
+$13.00
What matters here isn't the size of the profit — it's the principle.
A 37.5% hit rate sounds like failure, and that's exactly why most beginners quit at this point. But the three winning shares were bought at very low prices and settled at $1.00: the asymmetry between risk and reward covered five losing trades with room to spare.
The core skill we teach is counting expected value, not counting wins. Someone watching their win rate closes the account after the fifth loss. Someone counting expected value keeps following the rule.
Disclaimer: a sample of 8 trades over 3 hours is statistically meaningless and supports no conclusions about returns. This case illustrates a principle, not an expected result. Over a different period the result could have been negative.
Case 2. Earning on price gaps
The situation:on short five-minute markets, the prices of the YES and NO shares drift apart during busy moments, and the combined cost of both sides falls below $1.00.
These situations occur regularly but last seconds
The result barely depends on which way the market moves — the profit comes from the price difference, not from predicting anything
The main constraint is fees and execution speed, and calculating those before entering is exactly what we teach
Disclaimer: the result depends on liquidity, fees and the activity of other participants. In quiet periods these situations may not appear at all.
Curriculum
Five modules — full understanding in one evening
We don't stretch the material over months and we don't split it into "levels" so we can sell you the next one. Five modules give you the complete picture: what this market is, where the profit appears, how to start technically, how not to lose money, and how to test your approach in practice.
1
How a prediction market works
The mechanics, why the share price equals the probability, how this differs fundamentally from betting and from an exchange, what types of markets exist and where the money sits among them.
→ You understand what you're looking at when you open the platform
2
Three strategies and how to pick yours
Each strategy on real examples. An honest account of the strengths and weaknesses of each, and who each one suits.
→ You've chosen an approach that fits your knowledge and your time
3
The technical start
What you need to access the platform, how to deposit and withdraw, what fees exist, and the mistakes beginners make most often at this step. Plus a 14-point safety checklist.
→ You're technically ready for your first trade
4
Managing risk
Position size, loss limits, expected value, the trade journal. The three reasons beginners lose their first deposit, and how to avoid them.
→ You have personal rules written before your first trade, not after your first loss
5
Practice in practice mode
How to run your chosen strategy on live markets without money, what to record in the journal, and the signs that tell you it's time to move to real funds.
→ Your own statistics and a reasoned decision, not an emotional one
We strongly recommend spending time in practice mode before your first real money. Those who skip this step usually lose their first deposit. We will keep reminding you of that — even though it slows our own sales down.
What comes next
And then you can stop doing it by hand
Markets run around the clock, and price gaps live for seconds. No human can watch hundreds of markets at once, stay awake, and keep their emotions out of it after a losing streak.
That's why experienced participants eventually move to automation: the rules you worked out for yourself start executing without you — faster, and without emotion.
We're building a tool for that, and we'll open access to a limited group — starting with people who've been through the course and already understand what they're doing. Automating a bad strategy only accelerates the losses, which is why the order is this way round: understanding first, tool second.
[Name], [role]. [One or two sentences: how long you've been in this, what you did before, how you came to prediction markets and why you decided to teach it.]
We're not an info-product business and we're not a trading school. We trade these markets ourselves and we build tools for them. The course exists as a by-product: we got tired of explaining the same things over and over in private messages.
We answer in the channel personally, not through assistants.
Is this for you
Honestly: this isn't for everyone
This is for you if
You're an adult with a regular income and you understand what risk means
You're willing to spend an evening on the course and some time afterwards practising without money
You want to understand the mechanics rather than receive ready-made "signals"
You're prepared to start with $50–100 and are genuinely willing to lose it
This isn't for you if
You need money urgently and this is your last cash
You're looking for guaranteed returns — they don't exist, and we don't promise them
You want to hand money over to someone else and not think about it
You're not willing to keep records and work with numbers
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Isn't this just gambling?
The difference is where the edge comes from. In a casino the expected value is always against the player — that's built into the rules. On a prediction market you're trading against the opinion of other participants, and if you understand a subject better than the average participant, the edge is on your side. That's why this market has people with consistently positive results across hundreds of trades, and casinos don't. The risk of losing money is real, and we're not hiding it.
How legal is this?
Prediction markets operate legally in most jurisdictions and are gradually moving into regulated territory. But platforms maintain lists of restricted countries, and those lists change — check the current status of your country; there's a separate lesson on this in the course. We provide educational materials, not financial services.
How much money do I need to start?
The course and practice mode are free — you don't need any money at all. For your first real trades, $50–100 is enough. Increasing that only makes sense after several weeks of your own positive statistics.
I know nothing about crypto. Will I manage?
Yes. The technical module walks through everything step by step with a checklist, and it's a one-time setup.
How long does the course take?
One evening. We deliberately don't stretch the material: five modules are enough to understand the market fully and get started. After that it's practice at your own pace.
Are you responsible for my results?
No. We provide knowledge and method — the decisions are yours, and so are all the financial consequences of those decisions. We don't manage your funds, we don't give individual advice, and we guarantee no outcome. That's a position, not a legal formality: anyone in this field who promises to be responsible for your profit is misleading you.
How much will I earn?
We don't know, and neither does anyone else. Anyone quoting you a specific return figure is either mistaken or misleading you. What we give you is an understanding of the market, three working strategies, a method for managing risk, and a practice mode — so you can judge your own result before risking money.
What happens after the free course? Will you sell me something?
Yes, and we're saying so in advance. Later we'll offer access to our tools for this market. It's entirely voluntary: the knowledge and skill from the course stay with you regardless.
You can start tonight. And without a single dollar at risk
While most participants on this market make decisions on emotion and news headlines, the people who understand the mechanics collect the difference between the price and the real probability.
You can spend six months piecing this together from scattered articles. Or you can go through a structured course tonight and open your first practice trade tomorrow.
Participating in prediction markets involves the risk of losing the funds you commit. This project provides educational materials and is not responsible for your financial decisions or their consequences. Only use funds you can afford to lose.
