Identifies five MEV-style edges on Polymarket that most retail traders are unaware of: oracle latency arbitrage (trading on news before UMA oracle updates), resolution arbitrage (front-running outcome settlement), dispute sniping (gaming the UMA dispute process), orderbook imbalance exploitation, and conditional probability arbitrage across correlated markets.

Catalogs eight distinct arbitrage strategies available on prediction markets: classic YES+NO mispricing, cross-platform, range, conditional, time, hedged, resolution, and orderflow arbitrage. Each type includes concrete examples with dollar amounts and specific risk factors to watch for.
