Viral posts say this Polymarket wallet made $4.1M–$5.6M in a month. The public X-ray shows something smaller, and much spikier.
joseph00677. Account 35 days old, 80% of $ on sports.
Profile PnL (pre-fees): $3.53M
Unsettled: $0 (no open positions)
Fees paid: −$339.7K (9.6% of gross)
Rebates + rewards: +$116.3K
Real bottom line: $3.31M
Leaderboard (realized): $3.19M, rank #48
Last 7 days: −$2.08M
How he likely does it (my read of public data, not fact):
1. Huge single-game bets. Mean ticket $48.8K vs median $628. Biggest win, $1.59M on Arsenal YES at 65.6¢, is 45% of profile PnL.
2. Game-day favorites near coin-flip prices. 100% of dated trades on event day, 62.5% of $ bought at 35–65¢. Other big wins: Real Madrid at 52.7¢ ($1.54M), Atlético at 55.5¢ ($1.30M).
3. Pure taker. About 2% maker fills, so he pays the fee on almost every trade.
The curve: top 5 days = 99.2% of all gains, max drawdown $3.74M, win rate 41.7%.
Verdict: avoid copying. A handful of whale-size soccer bets is not a repeatable edge, and one bad week already took $2.08M off the leaderboard number.
Lesson: a 30-day screenshot is not a strategy. Check concentration and the 7-day line before you follow anyone.

@adriangrowzv After $913M in longs got wiped, BTC above $76K tomorrow is 21.5% on Polymarket. I X-ray what top wallets keep after fees and if it's copyable.
This Polymarket sports wallet shows $4.19M on the profile, but it paid $2.53M in fees, 60.3% of that gross. Rebates ($1.40M) bring the real bottom line to $3.06M.
PnL X-ray of Flaznorp:
• Profile PnL (gross): $4.19M
• Unsettled (open bets at today's price): -$190.7K, about 4.6%
• Fees paid: -$2.53M (60.3% of gross)
• Rebates and rewards: +$1.40M ($155.3K maker, $1.22M taker, $24.7K LP)
• Real bottom line: $3.06M
• Leaderboard (realized): $1.86M, rank 88
• Volume: $507.06M over 2.07M trades, an edge of about 0.6% of volume
• Last 30 days: $1.82M gross, -$1.19M fees, +$695.1K rebates, $1.32M bottom line
How it likely works (my read of public data, unconfirmed):
1. Game-day sports: 81% of recent dollars are sports, 96.8% of dated trades landed on event day. Median gap between fills is 1 s, median ticket $19.
2. Both sides at once: it bought both outcomes in 30.4% of recent markets and has merged YES+NO pairs back to $1, which looks like spread capture.
3. Grinding curve, not a lucky bet: the PnL line is a smooth ramp (R2 0.951) over 75 days. Biggest win is $141.2K, 8% of leaderboard PnL. Max drawdown $743.8K.
Copy or avoid? Avoid copying. With 2.07M trades and a 1 s rhythm this is almost certainly automated, and 45.7% of its bottom line is rebates a normal bettor does not get. The 7-day leaderboard figure is -$926.4K, so it is not risk free either.
Lesson: on a high-turnover wallet, fees and rebates, not the profit headline, decide whether there is any edge.
