How Polyburg Election Alerts Work

Step 1: We Track Political Whales

Not random bettors. Elite political traders with proven track records:

  • 91% win rate on 2024 election markets
  • $2M+ total volume (skin in the game)
  • Specialization in specific states or race types
  • Access to non-public polling data, ground reports

Step 2: Real-Time Whale Alerts

🗳️ ELECTION ALERT — Conviction: 10/10
Market: Will Democrats flip Arizona Senate seat?
Trader: @ElectionWhale2024 (91% win rate, $1.8M volume)
Position: $72,000 YES @ 58¢
Expected Edge: 18-25% ROI
Reasoning:
• Gallego (D) leads by 6pts in internal polling (unreleased)
• GOP primary still contested (weak challenger)
• Latino turnout up 12% in early voting vs 2024
• Maricopa County trends favor Dems (+3% shift since 2024)
🎯 ACTION: Consider YES @ 58-60¢

Step 3: Monitor & Exit

Elections are long-duration trades (months, not days). Strategy:

  • Early entry: Bet months ahead when odds are mispriced
  • Partial exits: Lock in profits as odds move (e.g., buy @ 58¢, sell @ 72¢)
  • Watch whale exits: If the trader who alerted you sells, consider following

Real Example: 2024 Nevada Senate Race

The Setup (June 2024)

Market: Will Jacky Rosen (D) win Nevada Senate race?
Polymarket Price: 62¢ (62% implied probability)
Public Polls: Rosen +2 (within margin of error, toss-up)

What Polyburg Saw

Top political whale @ElectionKing made a massive YES bet:

• Position: $84,000 on Rosen YES @ 62¢ (Conviction: 10/10)

The Edge

  • Early voting data: Clark County (Vegas, heavy Dem) turnout up 8%
  • Union ground game: Culinary Workers Union (60K members) all-in for Rosen
  • GOP challenger weak: Sam Brown underperforming in fundraising
  • Historical trend: Nevada Senate hasn't flipped in midterm since 2010

The Result

Rosen won by 5.2 points.

YES shares (bought @ 62¢) resolved at $1.00.
ROI: 61%

Users who followed the whale alert turned $1,000 into $1,610 in 5 months.

"I saw the alert in June, bought @ 62¢, sold half @ 78¢ in October (locked in 26% gain), held the rest to resolution (61% total). Best political trade I've ever made." — Marcus, Pro subscriber
