POLYMARKET PROFITS ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK 🔮
A recent report from researchers at London Business School and Yale reveals something important:
Only about 3% of users on Polymarket are actually skilled traders.
This small group, along with market makers, generates over 30% of the platform’s total profits.
On the other side, around 67% of users — labeled as inexperienced or unlucky — carry most of the losses.
What does this tell you?
The market is not driven by the crowd.
It’s driven by a small group who understand what they’re doing.
Key Takeaways:
• A small minority controls the profits
• Most participants are providing liquidity through losses
• Experience and skill create the real edge
• Following the crowd rarely leads to success
• Markets reward knowledge, not participation
The conclusion is simple:
It’s not the “wisdom of the crowd”…
It’s the precision of the informed few.
