‍Polymarket Trader Loses $2 Million in 35 Days A high-stakes trader on the decentralized platform Polymarket, known as "beachboy4," has suffered a loss exceeding $2 million in just 35 days. Despite a 51% win rate across 53 trades, aggressive strategies and a lack of risk management led to significant capital erosion. Data from Lookonchain highlights the risks in prediction markets. The trader's strategy featured a skewed risk-reward profile, with a maximum profit of $936,000 contrasted by a $1.58 million individual loss. Average trade sizes of $400,000 indicated a high-exposure approach. The trader consistently purchased "consensus direction" outcomes at inflated prices, concentrated on transparent markets like sports, and failed to employ stop-loss orders or hedging strategies. This resulted in losses from a few high-probability bets exceeding cumulative gains, underscoring the importance of capital preservation and strategic entry in DeFi prediction markets.
