#TraderProfitTradedReturn
Return = profit as a share of what was traded. Big profit often comes from big size, not accuracy.

What you get

Profit, with the size behind it

Every trader's profit next to how much they traded, so a $50k win on $2M of bets reads very differently from $50k on $100k.

Wins and losses

Each top trader's best and worst settled results, plus a running feed of the biggest wins and the biggest losses.

Full track records

Premium adds win rate, record and ROI over each trader's last 100 settled positions, and a filter for the most accurate.

What it is, and what it isn't

It is

  • Public Polymarket data, organized and explained
  • Charts of each trader's profit over time
  • Sports news and the traders you choose to track

It isn't

  • Picks, tips or a betting service
  • A place to place bets: you never trade through us
  • A promise of results: past results don't predict future ones

Free to use. Premium is $4.99 a month or $40 a year, cancel anytime.

Questions

What is Ball Knowledge?

A research tool for sports prediction markets. We show how the top Polymarket sports traders actually perform: what they won, what they lost, how much they risked to get there, and whether they hold their bets or sell early.

Where does the data come from? Is it real?

Yes. Every trade on Polymarket is public, and we pull it straight from Polymarket's public data. We organize it and explain it; we don't make any of it up. Leaderboards refresh every minute or so, though Polymarket's data is occasionally delayed.

Is this betting advice?

No. We don't give picks, tips or predictions. Ball Knowledge is information only. Past results don't predict future ones, and following anyone's bets can lose money.

Do I need a Polymarket account?

No. Ball Knowledge never connects to a betting account, never takes bets and never holds your money. If you want, you can link your own public Polymarket wallet so friends can see your moves, but you don't have to.

Can I place bets in Ball Knowledge?

Not inside the app. Tap “Copy bet” on any bet and pick where to place it: Polymarket opens that exact market, and Kalshi, DraftKings, FanDuel and other apps open with the bet copied so you can paste it into their search. Prices differ between apps, so check the odds first. Polymarket decides who can trade where; in the US, that's the Polymarket US app.

What do win rate, return and “held to the end” mean?

Win rate is the share of a trader's last 100 finished bets that made money. Return is their profit divided by how much they traded in that period, so a big win on a huge amount of betting reads differently from the same win on a small amount. “Held to the end” means they kept the bet until the game was decided; “sold early” means they got out before that. Selling at 98¢ or more counts as holding to the end.

Why are some traders shown as “70%+ trader”?

Those traders have won 70% or more of at least 20 finished bets. The free plan hides who they are; Premium shows them and their full records.

What does Premium include, and what does it cost?

Premium is $4.99 a month or $40 a year. It adds full track records, how each trader exits, the hidden 70%+ traders, lock-screen notifications, unlimited tracking (free accounts can track 3 traders) and no sponsored posts. Cancel anytime in Premium → Manage billing, and you keep Premium until the end of the time you've paid for.

How do invites and free weeks work?

Your username is your invite code. Share it from the Friends tab. When a friend creates a new account with it, you both get a free week of Premium. You can earn up to 26 free weeks, and they never turn into a paid subscription on their own.

Why aren't notifications showing up on my iPhone?

Lock-screen notifications are a Premium feature, and on iPhone they only work in the Home Screen app (in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen) on iOS 16.4 or newer, with notifications allowed. In Leaders → Following → Notifications, tap “Check notifications” to see which step is missing.

Is my information private?

Yes. We never sell, rent or share your personal information with advertisers, data brokers or anyone else. You can delete your account and everything we store about you anytime in Account → Delete account.
