Polymarket World Cup Delta Pairs

Thesis

This skill links two related market types for the same team:

  • group-stage advancement
  • outright World Cup winner

It enters a pair:

  • buy NO on "team to advance"
  • buy YES on "team to win World Cup"

The goal is to monetize structural mispricing and event-driven repricing between connected markets.

What it does

  • scans active 2026 World Cup advance + winner markets
  • pairs markets by normalized team name
  • computes pair economics:
    • pair_cost = (1 - advance_yes) + winner_yes
    • settle edge if team fails to advance: 1 - pair_cost
    • reprice edge if team advances: (winner_yes + boost) - pair_cost
  • enters only when both edge thresholds pass
  • applies spread/slippage safeguards + cooldown + daily budget
  • supports --venue (sim, polymarket, kalshi)

Defaults

  • dry-run by default
  • per leg: $4 (pair spend = $8)
  • daily budget: $30
  • max pairs/run: 2
  • winner repricing boost: +0.10
  • team universe seeded with 15 national teams (editable via team_universe)

Exit logic

  • explicit exit rules can be added in future revision

Market selection

  • Active 2026 FIFA World Cup team-advance and outright-winner markets

Position sizing

  • fixed per_leg_usd on each leg

Risk controls

  • max_spread, max_slippage_pct
  • cooldown_hours
  • max_pairs_per_run
