Decentralized Betting, Crypto News, and Polymarket Strategy Explained

In this episode of the Building Web3 Podcast, Jax Dwyer sits down with OxSimpleFarmer, the founder of Clutch Market, to discuss decentralized betting, crypto news, prediction markets, and how real world assets (RWA) are changing the future of Web3 applications.

Clutch Market is a fully onchain, non-KYC betting platform built on Arbitrum. It brings together real world event predictions, political outcomes, and sports betting in one place. Powered by Polymarket data, Clutch enables users to build custom parlays that combine DeFi odds, sports props, and political forecasts, all from one smart contract–secured dashboard.

In this interview, you’ll learn how Clutch Market improves on traditional betting platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings, how it allows users to earn yield as the house through decentralized liquidity pools, and why crypto-native parlays offer unique value not found in Web2 platforms. Whether you’re a Polymarket user, a crypto bettor, or someone interested in real world assets and decentralized finance, this episode will give you a complete breakdown of where the market is headed.

We also cover UX challenges, smart wallet onboarding, the power of combining AI and betting strategies, and how Clutch is leveraging Arbitrum’s low-fee infrastructure to drive volume and growth.

For builders and investors, this conversation offers deep insights into what it takes to ship real products in DeFi, how to grow a Web3 betting platform, and what areas of the crypto ecosystem are ripe for innovation.
