A trader just dumped $106k into a prediction market with only $138 upside. Crazy move? Not really.
Here's the play: when odds get so skewed that an outcome trades at 99%+ implied probability, the payout shrinks but the risk collapses. That's the sweet spot for yield farming via prediction markets.
Instead of chasing hype, position sizing in hyper-certain scenarios clips consistent yields. The math is brutal—tiny percentage gains on massive capital—but in DeFi yield farming terms, it's just farming certainty.

Hmm, is this the legendary "stable arbitrage"? Making 138 with 100,000... I need to calculate how long it will take to recover the principal and interest.

That's the gambler's mentality—throwing 100,000 in just for that pitiful $138 return?

This is like betting on the horse with the lowest odds in the casino, nothing new.

Haha, this is the gameplay of a conservative rookie. Trading 106k for $138, feels like playing a big game of chess.

Really, risking 100,000 to earn 138 yuan—what kind of mental resilience does that require?
