Prediction market platforms might have an interesting exploit if they're not careful about transaction monitoring. Here's how it plays out: someone creates a fresh wallet and places a substantial bet—say 30k to 50k—into a market with insider-level conviction. The copycat bots immediately kick in and start mirroring positions because the wallet looks credible and the bet size signals confidence. From there, two outcomes unfold: either the market moves against the crowd and the original wallet holder pockets the difference as the bot-driven positions unwind, or they ride the wave higher. It's a classic information asymmetry play, though prediction markets are getting smarter about detecting these patterns.

The new wallet's large sell-off triggered bot copy trading; this tactic is truly unbeatable.

This trick has been played out, and the smart contract predicting the market needs to be updated.

Haha, the new wallet's way of harvesting users is really impressive. Are robots so easy to fool?

honestly the "getting smarter about detecting" bit is where it gets funny... like, are they tho? seems like every cycle we're just reshuffling the same game theory problems with slightly better obfuscation. path dependency's a bitch.

This tactic is the same as a certain pump case I've seen before, just about to be explicitly stated.
