Breaking news: A groundbreaking on-chain analysis has uncovered the shocking truth 🚨 that Polymarket’s prediction markets are about as fair as a coin toss with a magnet. Turns out, the house isn’t the only one winning-just 0.04% of traders are taking home 70% of the cash. What a surprise.

Profits concentrated at the top

Because nothing says “decentralized utopia” like a few hundred wallets hoarding $3.7 billion. These high-rollers? They’re not just reading headlines-they’re probably psychic, or at least subscribed to a better newsletter.

In contrast, the average Joe’s “winning” strategy involves buying low, selling lower, and calling it “experience.”

The reality for ordinary traders

To join the “I’m Rich Now” club, you need to be in the top 4.9%. Translation: You’re more likely to get struck by lightning while holding a winning lottery ticket. Meanwhile, 63.5% of traders are nursing losses small enough to shrug off but big enough to make therapy worthwhile. 💆♂️

How Realized PnL Is Calculated

Realized PnL = Total sale proceeds + redemption money – purchase costs. TL;DR: If you haven’t cashed out, you’re just playing with monopoly money, sweetheart.

In conclusion, Polymarket’s a high-stakes poker game where the pros have x-ray glasses and the rest of you? You’re just happy they’re letting you sit at the table. 🍀
