Polymarket trader makes $330k in a day predicting sports results

A newly registered trader on Polymarket , one of the most widely used online cryptocurrency prediction market websites, has managed to turn a nearly $330,000 profit in a single day. Going by the name of NBA101 , the trader has made 48 predictions since they joined earlier this month, most of them sports -related. The latest was an $82,000 bet on Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers on January 13, which turned a 312% profit of approximately $256,500 for a total win of more or less $338,000 when the Sacramento team beat the L.A.-based rival 124:112. Adjusting for a nearly $9,000 daily loss on other positions, the figure came out at precisely $329,931.27 at press time. NBA101 ’s Polymarket profile.
