Polymarket profits concentrated as top 3.14 percent take more than 30 percent
A study analysing all Polymarket trades from 2023 to 2025 concluded the platform’s accuracy reflects an informed minority rather than the “wisdom of crowds.” The paper examined 1.72 million accounts across 210,322 markets and about $13.76 billion in trading. It classified 3.14 percent of accounts as skilled winners, who with market makers took more than 30 percent of profits. About 67 percent of accounts were classified as unskilled or unlucky losers and absorbed all losses.
