It's a negative sum game (negative because binary prediction markets are zero sum, and polymarket takes a cut), so not surprising.

Idk. If 50% if your data represents less than 1% of your figure...

Half of all polymarket users bet a dollar on one trade, lost, and said "I don't think this is for me"

At least half of all polymarket users are smart.

Shouldn't there be some equivalent volume on the left and right? How is there more money lost than won? Isn't this supposed to essentially be some kind of trade system.

It took me a while to see the orange bit. Sad Trombone I guess..
