“most polymarket users lose money, but rarely more than a hundred dollars”
Pew Research Center analyzed nearly 12,000 Polymarket accounts over six weeks and found the typical user placed 46 trades across 10 active days, with an average trade value of $6.50 and a net loss of under $2. More than half of traders (58%) gained or lost less than $100, while sports traders were substantially more active than those focused on politics or crypto.
