Prediction market sports trading has become an everyday activity for millions of forecasters around the globe. In some cases, highly skilled predictions can mean millions in profit – although becoming a successful pro sports trader requires a lot of research and existing knowledge.
Polymarket maintains updated profiles on its most profitable sports traders. If you’re interested in learning how much the top forecasters on Polymarket have made, read on as we provide a list of the top 5 all-time sports traders on the exchange.
Three out of the five Polymarket account names on this list are also among the top 5 Polymarket traders of all-time, regardless of which market types they engage with. Polymarket “swisstony” is one such entry.
Over the course of 216,000 sports predictions, “swisstony” has experienced close to $60 million total wins against only $50 million in losses. Overall, this places the account at a PnL of $9.5 million in net gains. That’s extremely impressive given the number of sports markets that this account has traded.
With a win percentage hovering around 54%, “swisstony” still keeps more than 1,000 trades active, meaning that he is still constantly making predictions on the Polymarket platform in an effort to increase his total all-time profit. Polymarket data suggests this account’s net worth is an estimated $1.2 million.
“RN1” is another top Polymarket forecaster for all markets. With that said, sports trading has been kind to “RN1,” who has the highest win percentage – 55% – among all top sports forecasters on this list. Unlike our previous entry, this account has less activity along with an estimated net worth of $218,000.
Still, you can’t argue with the PnL numbers… “RN1” has a profit versus loss margin of $9.49 million; just out of first place in that category. A total of $30.6 million in winning trades versus just $21.1 million in losing trades means “RN1” is well within distance to become the cumulative number one top sports trader on Polymarket.
This account shows even fewer trades than the top two Polymarket accounts, and the estimated net worth is close to break-even. However, that doesn’t take away from the 53.3% winning percentage on sports trades, nor does it impact this account’s total PnL of $4.78 million.
A solid third place entry on our list, “GamblingIsAllYouNeed” has won $40.5 million from sports predictions and only lost $35.7 million. The account only has about 10 active trades at the moment, but its history suggests a lot more activity, with 98,300 positions over its lifetime.
The name on this account suggests a tie with Ethereum “HODLers” and, by far, possesses the highest estimated net worth of all the Polymarket traders on this list. With more than 5,000 prediction market positions linked to sports events, “0x2a2c…9bc1” has won 51.4% of all sports trades.
Moreover, the account has an approximate net worth of $7.3 million, with $42.2 million in winning sports forecasts versus just $38.2 million in losing positions. The PnL of this account is over $4 million as a result, and there are roughly 30 active trades still pending for this Polymarket user.
This is the only Polymarket account on the Top 5 all-time most successful sports traders list that has actually lost more trades than won, with a winning percentage of just 48.7. It’s not necessarily about winning “percentages,” though. As long as you make more than you lose on sports trades, you’re out of the red.
“Countryside” has amassed 1,300 total positions over the lifetime of the account – with $35.3 million in wins against $31.8 million in losing sports forecasts. This equals a PnL just shy of $3.5 million; good enough to make the Top 5. Polymarket estimates this account’s net worth to be $690,000.
If you’d like to get started trading on prediction market sports markets, you can sign up for a new Polymarket account and make trades that you believe in. While you may not achieve the heights of the Top 5 all-time most successful sports traders, you might manage to turn a profit if you’re willing to put in a lot of time researching. Or, you can opt for a more “casual” sports trading experience and avoid the headaches involved with doing “deep-dives” into your predictions.
