A crypto trader from the popular prediction market Polymarket appears to have succeeded in turning his hobby into a source of incredible wealth, earning around $118,000 in just one month.
What makes the success of the trader identified as xdd07070 on the platform even more remarkable is that their original stake was just $170. This means that from mid-January to February 16th, we achieved a return on investment of almost 70,000%.
Polymarket esports strategy drove 70,000% revenue
Additionally, xdd07070 only made 40 trades focused on the results of esports matches, so the strategy itself does not seem to rely on complex models or super-fast trading bots like some of the highly successful accounts we have seen previously.
In fact, strategies include tracking and betting on video game esports matches, with the majority of predictions focusing on popular titles such as Counter-Strike (CS), League of Legends (LoL), and Valorant.
The outliers in this pattern were two trades centered around Dota 2. Dota 2 is a LoL-like game that is a direct successor to the Warcraft 3 mod that arguably established the genre.
Crypto trader first lost over $20,000, then $170 turned into $118,000
Another interesting aspect of trading xdd07070 is the win rate. The first five trades (four LoL-centric and one in CS) all lost, costing Polymarket over $20,000.
After these, the trader’s fortunes changed completely and all 35 subsequent bets were successful, leading to results ranging from $170 to $118,000 and an 80% win rate as of writing on February 16, 2026.
