The French Polymarket ‘whale’ raked in more than $50 million more than previously reported on President-elect Donald Trump’s win.
The French “whale” who bet millions on a Trump win raked in about $85 million in profits – more than $50 million more
The mysterious French trader told the Journal he downplayed the size of his bets “for reasons of personal safety and to limit the disruption in my personal life, should my identity be disclosed some day.” The trader said he started placing hefty bets on Trump over the summer after he looked at polling data and concluded the Republican candidate was the likely winner. But the polls showed Trump and Harris locked in a tight race.Meanwhile, Polymarket’s website on the morning before Election Day said Trump had a 58.6% chance of winning the presidency while Harris’ odds stood at 41.4%. The site’s bets were a more accurate prediction than the most recent polls.
