Polymarket users lose money as top accounts win

A significant majority of users on the Polymarket prediction market platform are experiencing financial losses, with top accounts disproportionately benefiting. Analysis reveals that over 100,000 accounts have lost at least $1,000 since early 2025, while a smaller group has achieved substantial gains. This disparity suggests a concentration of wealth and expertise among a few traders, potentially indicating market inefficiencies or a challenging environment for novice participants. The findings raise questions about the accessibility and fairness of prediction markets.
