Predicting the market and going all-in is a dead end.
A trader used a real account to demonstrate a complete greed tragedy. He made a profit of $5,000 in the first round but did not take profits. In the second round, luck was on his side, and his account skyrocketed to $250,000. Most people would have stopped here—but he didn't. The next day, this $250,000 was completely wiped out in the next prediction, returning to zero.
From doubling to bankruptcy, the entire process is like a roller coaster ride. Frequent all-in bets, lack of risk management, no stop-loss awareness—these are typical gambler's mindsets. The high volatility of prediction markets amplifies the consequences of every decision. No matter how much money is earned, a single out-of-control bet can wipe it all out.
This case is worth reflecting on: in any trading market, greed is always the biggest enemy.

$250,000 wiped out overnight, this is the result of going all-in, very typical.

250,000 to zero, this is the cost of all-in... I've also seen people like this, always thinking they can win each time.

This guy really has a pure gambler's mentality, couldn't hold onto even 250,000...

250,000 to zero, it really was just a blink... This guy just didn't take stop-loss seriously.

Clear now, this is a typical gambler's logic. At the moment of $250,000, you should have walked away completely.
