automatically buys "No" for every non-sports market and holds to resolution.
The bot does not buy "No" on every non-sports market. Its own code filters heavily and only enters some standalone yes/no markets when the NO ask is at or below a configured price cap.
Full reasoning
The repository linked in the post describes a narrower strategy than "every non-sports market."
- The README says the bot "buys No on standalone non-sports yes/no markets", not all non-sports markets.
- The market-discovery code applies multiple filters before a market is even considered: it must be binary yes/no, not sports, standalone (not multi-market events / neg-risk bundles), and it must end within a default 3-month window.
- The execution config also sets a
max_entry_priceof0.65by default, and the strategy code skips markets whose NO ask is above that cap. So even among eligible markets, it does not buy every one; it only buys when the market is in range.
Because the bot excludes many non-sports markets and only buys under specific conditions, the claim that it buys "No" for every non-sports market is inaccurate.
