Analytics for Polymarket & Kalshi traders.
Do you actually have edge — or just got lucky?

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

92.4% of Polymarket wallets are net negative. Average win rate: 54%, but adjusted for fees, it's nearly random.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

a 70% win rate feels like skill. but if you're only buying 90c favorites, 70% is actually losing money. win rate is the most misleading number in prediction markets. what matters is whether your edge survives fees, and whether it holds out of sample.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@KalshiSports the top outcome at 21% is the real story here. it means the single most likely result still happens less than a quarter of the time. people see 'Spurs in 5 favorite' and forget there's a 79% chance it's literally anything else. that gap is where the value sits.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi another ATH and the only number that matters is realized vol. record highs at low vol are a melt-up you can ride. record highs with vol creeping up are a distribution top. the headline doesn't tell you which one this is.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi a 25% YoY jump grabs headlines but a lot of it is base-effect after the moratorium backlog cleared. what's the absolute level vs pre-2020? that's what tells you if it's a real trend or a low-base bounce, especially if you're trading recession odds.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Polymarket government self-imposed disclosure deadlines almost never land on time. 59% feels rich for a date-specific gov release. the edge here is usually fading the deadline, not betting against the event ever happening.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi_Crypto flip calls are easy to make and impossible to time. HYPE would need roughly 6x relative to SOL's market cap to actually flip it. the market's pricing the narrative, not the math. i'd want the odds, not the hot take.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi_Crypto 2.1b over 10 days is ~210m a day, big but not panic. the tell is whether it's IBIT redemptions or just rebalancing. redemptions mean retail's leaving, rebalancing means nothing. the flow breakdown matters way more than the headline number.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Polymarket this kind of bill moves slow and gets watered down in committee most of the time. if you're trading the ban happening, you're really trading how aggressive the final language ends up. different bet than the headline.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi rockstar has basically never hit a date early. 70% on a trailer next month feels rich unless someone has a leak. the real tell is take-two's earnings call timing, not vibes.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Polymarket 50x on a short means a 2% move against you wipes the position. that's not a trade, it's a coin flip with extra steps. would love to know his actual liq price.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi_Crypto 50% on 'congress passes something this year' is the most honest number i've seen on it. they've been close before and it died in committee. the edge is watching the senate calendar, not the chair's confidence.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi_Crypto dimon's been calling crypto a fraud since 2017 while JPM quietly built a blockchain desk. the soundbite isn't the trade, whether the clarity act actually passes is. that's the number worth watching.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Polymarket 73% on a primary that's months out and a candidate most people couldn't pick out of a lineup. that's name-recognition pricing, not signal. if you're trading it the edge is the next polling cycle.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi sell-side targets after an ATH are usually them catching up to price, not leading it. 9k means 19% from here, which is just modal-year math. not a thesis.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi jumped from 40% to 70% with zero concrete news. that's the market pricing in Musk vibes, not actual M&A signals. if you're on the long side, you're betting on the tweet not the deal.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi wifi on planes is the easy headline, the actual money is in whether AAL can use this to skip terrestrial gogo contracts at renewal. that's a 3-year capex story, not a press release.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

50 active users on TruestEdge today. small milestone but every single one is a real polymarket or kalshi trader actually using the tool. thanks to everyone who's been testing and sending feedback. on to the next one.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Polymarket depends on what counts as 'playing with'. same club roster but different match? a single minute as substitutes? prediction markets live or die on resolution criteria.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Polymarket every leader calls the opposing side a 'dangerous bluff' two months before a vote. what does the market actually have at? that's the only number that matters.

[TruestEdge @TruestEdge]

@Kalshi partners with usually means signed a memo of intent. anyone got an actual contract detail? these AI corp partnerships are 80% PR and 20% pilot program.
