Polymarket Ohio Governor: market, prices, and arb setup
If you searched for "Polymarket Ohio Governor" you're likely tracking the market for Ohio's gubernatorial outcome. Polymarket lists binary markets where YES/NO prices reflect market odds; the pair should sum to $1.00 at fair value. For traders, the immediate task is watching best-ask prices on both legs for intra-market arbitrage opportunities. PolyArb watches these markets with 40ms latency, Telegram + Discord alerts, and a $7.62 minimum guaranteed edge per trade.
How the Polymarket Ohio Governor market works
Polymarket runs a CLOB on Polygon and represents each outcome as CTF ERC-1155 tokens redeemable for $1.00 after resolution. In a binary market like Ohio Governor the fair prices of YES and NO should sum to $1.00. Trades are settled in pUSD and Polymarket sponsors gas via its Relayer, so you only need pUSD in your wallet to trade. UMA handles resolution; disputes can delay settlement.
Spotting intra-market arbitrage on Ohio Governor
Intra-market binary arbitrage appears when bestAsk(YES) + bestAsk(NO) < $1.00. Buying both legs mints a complete economic position that can be redeemed for $1.00 after resolution; the difference is the raw edge. That edge is mathematical but not risk-free: resolution disputes (UMA), partial fills, slippage, fee changes, and settlement timing can eat profit. PolyArb monitors spreads at 40ms latency and sends realtime alerts so you can act before spreads vanish.
Practical checks before you trade
Confirm fees and category: maker fees are zero but taker fees vary by category. Verify tick size (usually $0.01, tightening near price extremes) because it affects fill granularity. Check your wallet type (Gnosis Safe or Proxy) and ensure pUSD balance; Polymarket will deploy a Proxy on first transaction if needed. Never use VPNs to bypass geo-restrictions.
