Found the real Cooper Flagg printer on @Polymarket and it’s not a human.

Most people saw one lucky bet.
This one shows a system.

And it matters because it exposes how edge is actually extracted on prediction markets.

What looks unusual (and why it matters):

One trader consistently printing on Cooper Flagg draft markets not by predicting where he goes, but by turning the entire market into a math problem.

Profile:

The Cooper Flagg obsession:
This trader bet on Cooper Flagg getting drafted by literally every NBA team.

Entry prices:
~0.4¢ → 12¢ per outcome

Returns:
192% to 801% per winning leg

That pricing range alone raises eyebrows.

The strategy (this is the key):

He’s not predicting which team drafts Cooper.

He’s betting that:

Cooper Flagg gets drafted somewhere.

Mechanics:

1. Buy every team outcome at ultra-low odds (0.5¢–6¢)
2. One outcome must resolve YES
3. Collect the payout while all others go to zero

This is certainty arbitrage, not forecasting.

Why this screams automation:

Several signals line up:

26,047 total predictions
Identical entry bands across outcomes
Positions entered immediately as markets open
No discretion, no delay, no deviation

Either this is the most disciplined human on Polymarket…
or a bot sweeping low-odds certainty events the moment liquidity appears.

Timing looks algorithmic. Behavior looks systematic.

The numbers don’t lie:

~$777,000 total profit
~$6,756 profit from one player (Cooper Flagg) alone

And Cooper isn’t the point.

This is just one vertical in a broader playbook:
sports drafts, elections, inevitability-style markets.

Anywhere probability collapses to ~100% over time.

What this implies (not guarantees):
Prediction markets aren’t just about information edge anymore.

They’re about:

speed
coverage
automation
capital efficiency

Humans debate narratives.
Bots farm certainty.

Counterpoints:

- Could be an insanely disciplined manual trader
- Could be assisted tooling, not full automation

But 26k trades with this consistency is… unlikely to be human-only.

Bottom line:

The edge on Polymarket is shifting.

From:
“Who knows more?”

To:
“Who can systematically capture inevitability faster?”

If PMs are InfoFi 2.0, this is what early extraction looks like.

Do you think Polymarket clamps down on this or is this just the natural evolution?
