Can Polymarket make you rich?

While it's theoretically possible to make significant profits on Polymarket, the data shows most users lose money. According to research: Fewer than 1% of wallets capture about half of all profits on the platform.

1% of accounts net 67% of the profits. 8% vs 14% baseline, suggesting those with insider information can profit significantly. However, for average users without special information advantages, the odds are not favorable.

1% of super-profitable accounts suggests extremely sophisticated traders (possibly with insider access) dominate. Most users should expect to lose money overall. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
