Is HorribleWork really profitable on Polymarket?

0x78048aa26ac1967566b8ed11910b529e5f2d7025

Short answer

No, not on a lifetime basis. HorribleWork made Polymarket's daily leaderboard on 64 days (2026-04-15 to 2026-10-03), adding up to $93K on those days, yet verified lifetime PnL is -$408K. The winning days are real; the losing days are simply never on the board. Recent windows from Polymarket: last week +$999, last month +$17K.
