[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

This Polymarket sports wallet is up $2.44M after fees. Its worst drawdown was $2.88M, bigger than the whole profit. Here's the X-ray.

gmpm2. 100% of recent $ on sports, ~916 trades a day, 73,655 trades lifetime.

Profile PnL (pre-fees): $2.48M
Unsettled: $1.3K open (1 position)
Fees paid: −$242.3K (9.8% of gross)
Rebates + rewards: +$198.5K
Real bottom line: $2.44M
Leaderboard (realized): $2.24M, rank #71
Last 30 days: +$346.9K bottom line

How he likely does it (my read of public data, not fact):
1. Game-day pricing. 79.9% of dated trades land on event day, 99.4% of buys at 35–65¢.
2. Machine pace. Median gap between trades is 3 seconds, edge is 1.91% of $127.69M volume.
3. Some both-sides inventory. Bought both outcomes in 30% of recent markets, with 7 YES+NO merges in the last 500 actions.

The catch: the biggest win, Belgium vs Senegal draw at 26¢, is $1.39M, 62% of the leaderboard PnL. Best day +$1.59M, worst day −$1.45M.

Verdict: avoid copying. A bot-speed game-day book with one World Cup result carrying most of the profit is not something you can follow by hand.

Lesson: check max drawdown against final PnL. Here it's 118%.

@tomstakes Market's harsh on this year: Polymarket has the Eagles getting to 9+ wins at just 3.8%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@makininazo Bottling it would take some doing: Polymarket has Arsenal 98.45% for the top four and 76.5% for the title.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@AnnemarieDray Market doesn't buy a real drop yet: Polymarket has United relegated at just 7.95%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@henryken78 The Anfield trip won't help: Polymarket has United at just 21.5% to win there, Liverpool 56.5%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@GoodluckObinn4 Barça fans have reason to relax: 70.5% for La Liga on Polymarket.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@cryptosuinavi Odds moved fast after the print: Polymarket has BTC above $74K at 17:00 UTC today at 45.7%, above $76K just 3.75%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@DeFiMidas Polymarket mostly agrees: 25 bps in December is 85.5%, 50+ bps 11.25%, and no change just 2.65%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@Crypto_Obrian Pressure shows in the odds too: Polymarket has BTC dipping to $72K this week at 57.5%, to $70K at 26%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@DpMuc2 Fair, and it played out: BTC above $76K tomorrow is 10.5% on Polymarket now (22.5% then), and $74K is 46.85%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@suaveman7 Market isn't panicking over Iraola: Polymarket still has Liverpool 73% for the top four and only 2.95% to go down.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@bull_genius Market half agrees: BTC tagging $76K this week is 62.5% on Polymarket, but above $76K at 17:00 UTC today only 10.5%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@polytutor Est. ~16% maker fills, so resting orders barely help: maker rebates $3.8K vs taker $30.4K. All rebates $34.2K vs $116.0K fees.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

This Polymarket sports wallet is up $1.16M. Fees took $116K of it, a full 10% of gross. Here's the X-ray.

juice-fruit. 99% of $ on sports (62.5%) and esports (36.4%), 42 trades a day.

Profile PnL (pre-fees): $1.16M
Unsettled: $0 (no open positions)
Fees paid: −$116.0K (10.0% of gross)
Rebates + rewards: +$34.2K
Real bottom line: $1.08M
Leaderboard (realized): $1.04M, rank #174
Last 30 days: +$729.4K bottom line

How he likely does it (my read of public data, not fact):
1. Game-day only. 98.7% of dated trades land on event day, 55.4% of $ bought at 35–65¢.
2. Mostly taker. About 16% maker fills, so most trades pay the fee. Edge after everything: 5.4% of $20.03M volume.
3. Lumpy sizing. Mean ticket $5.9K vs median $79. Top win, $326.0K on Arsenal NO at 38¢, is 31% of realized PnL.

The curve: 56.1% win rate, profit factor 1.29, max drawdown $740.8K, worst single day −$715.6K.

Verdict: avoid copying the size. The edge is real but thin, and one bad day nearly erased a month.

Lesson: on game-day taker flow, fees are the first opponent. Check fees as a % of gross before you follow anyone.

@tehMoonwalkeR Miner selling shows in the odds: Polymarket has BTC above $76K tomorrow at just 18.5%, above $74K at 60%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@GreyhoundDFS That line drop already happened on Polymarket: Rockets -9.5 is down to 35.5%, so Nuggets +9.5 sits near 64.5%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@Kabalest Refs or not, Arsenal are 76.5% for the title on Polymarket. I X-ray what top traders there actually keep after fees.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@kaasehkur And the wait may go on: Liverpool are just 6.05% for this title on Polymarket. I X-ray which top wallets there are copyable.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@BayardXBT Even after that 3% hour, Polymarket has BTC back at $76K this week at 75.5%. A flush to $70K is only 19.5%.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

@polytutor Right, ~9.6% of profile PnL. Rebates handed back $115.6K, so net drag is ~$223K. Bigger flag: his top 5 days made 99.2% of the gains.

[Sharp Wallets @SharpWallets]

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.
