What is sports-trading-bot?

This project is a copytrading bot for Polymarket, a platform where people bet on the outcome of real world events. The bot watches one or more chosen trader addresses, called leaders, and automatically copies their trades. It is written in TypeScript, with the author also mentioning a separate Rust based version built for faster execution. The idea behind the bot is that prediction markets can be very unpredictable, especially in fast moving categories like sports and crypto, where prices and positions can shift in an instant. Rather than focusing on one type of market, the bot is designed to copy trades across many categories at once, including politics, sports, crypto, economic events, and more. The author describes this as a long term approach built around following experienced traders, spreading risk across many markets, and aiming for steady results rather than big, risky wins. Settings in a file called trade.toml let you adjust things like how long before a market resolves the bot should stop trading, profit targets, and limits on how much to buy at once. The README notes that different market types behave differently: politics and economic markets move slowly and suit medium term copying, sports and crypto markets move fast and benefit from websocket connections, and experimental or low liquidity markets carry more risk and should use smaller trade sizes. To run it, you clone the repository, install dependencies with npm, and fill in a .env file with your wallet's private key, a proxy wallet address if needed, and a signature type depending on whether you use a plain wallet, Magic login, or a Gnosis Safe multisig wallet. The README lists a table of specific trader addresses the author has been tracking, along with links to profit and loss screenshots for each one. The author also mentions being open to contact for anyone interested in buying or learning more about the system, with a Telegram handle provided for that purpose.
