Someone shared a trick on Polymarket about predicting the sequence of Playboi Carti's new album release and GTA 6 launch. The core idea is quite interesting—using information asymmetry to judge market pricing.
The logic is as follows: if Carti actually announces that he will release a new album before GTA 6, then consider his past record of promising new works but always delaying. Market participants know this history, but the current price may still reflect an expectation that the announcement will happen this time. This expectation gap creates an arbitrage opportunity in the prediction market.
This example really illustrates the point— the efficiency of prediction market pricing depends on participants' depth of understanding of fundamental information. What seems like gossip actually touches on the economic issue of how prediction markets handle "credibility discount." Platforms like Polymarket use this mechanism to quickly incorporate information into prices.

Carti, I don't believe a word this pigeon king says, haha. The market is still struggling with the order, which is truly a huge information gap gold mine.

Carti, this guy is the king of pigeon racing, does the market really believe him this time? Laughing to death, isn't this just gambling on human nature?

Cardi, this pigeon king, how many times has he sent empty pigeons? Does the market really believe him this time? Laughing to death, pure information gap arbitrage.

Wait a minute, there's a problem with this logic... Will the market really be this naive? I’ve been analyzing on-chain data for three days, and whale wallet clusters have already quietly accumulated positions on Polymarket. The price reaction is not what market consensus looks like; it's clearly big players playing the expectation gap game. The Carti case is too superficial; you need to look at the capital flow to understand the truth.

Carti Pigeon King’s persona is so obvious, yet the market is still betting that he will really release this time? Laughing out loud, it's definitely information arbitrage.

Carti is really a living advertisement for market prediction; the Pigeon King is confirmed.
