I Built an AI That Made $3,500 Betting While I Slept
This AI agent made $3,500 while I slept. No exaggeration. It placed 64 real bets using live Polymarket odds, and I didn’t touch a thing. In this video, I’ll show you exactly how I built this autonomous trading system step-by-step, and I’m open-sourcing the full code so you can try it yourself.
I started with just $1,000 and let the bot trade on real markets like sports, politics, and more, using ChatGPT, Claude, Python, and Polymarket’s official SDK. The result? It grew my bankroll to $13,500 in one week, with a 68% win rate.
⚠️ This is not a simulation. This is real money, real trades, and a real AI doing all the work.

First
congrats 😀
An AI made every decision. I just pressed “go.”
I’m answering every single comment for the next 24 hours.👇
your a very inspiring guy, thx for all the videos and hope you never stop inspiring us!

Legendary
do you think polymarket will continue being good at predicting an outcome
Yes, it’s the most reliable source of truth for lots of events these days. Betting markets in general are more reliable predictors than pundits
Gr8 Betting Agent, waiting for more, Thank you Siraj♥
Can’t wait for more videos and the community
So if you have this system, why not bet just huge amounts, scaling the system to multiple instances, instead of making this video and opening the code for everyone?
Because I’d rather inspire builders than hoard edge. I’ve already made enough, and I say in the video it’s risky, not guaranteed to scale. It’s working for now, but it’s still gambling. This is proof-of-possibility, not a get-rich scheme

Thanks so much!
6:42 ah yes, my favorite hockey players Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant.
lol wut? XD
The Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks are NBA teams, not NHL teams my guy.
Hmm do you have a community to using ai and similar to build cool and helpful stuff
Yes it’s called the Arena and it’s launching this month, waitlist https://www.thearena.tech
I am a huge fan of yours, I just cloned the repo and seems like is not functional and the codebase is full of placeholders and ai hallucinations. Maybe you accidentally pushed the wrong codebase because I see “polyagent” repo in the video and not Poly-Trader that you made public
Long time fan of siraj, but unfortunately that’s usually par for the course with his projects, it’s always been that way. He’s an entertainer that inspires people to code more than an actual educator.
Thanks for the helpful comment. There’s quite a few scripts in there, I will clean it up now, expect a commit within a few hours.
@@SirajRavallove that shirt, looks like from india
Can you make me some shtuff? Please?
What are you tryna build?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let the fire of entrepreneurship engulf the world!
Can I do micro bets? I like the idea of 24 /7 microbetting, not comfortable with AI choosing bet sizes. Or the commission structure won’t enable?
Yes you can absolute do micro bets. Just set the minimum and maximum bet size thresholds for the bot in the config file. Open the repo with cursor, and ask cursor agent to run the code for you and instruct you on setup as well. Let me know any questions
Thanks so much….
