イベントベットにおけるポジションサイジングの理解

This is a crucial point, especially on platforms like Polymarket where the 'fun' aspect can overshadow the risk. I'd add that many struggle to objectively assess their own risk tolerance, often overestimating it when things are going well and underestimating it during drawdowns.

It's always amusing how quickly 'high conviction' can turn into 'humbling lesson' when you're all-in on an event. Perhaps 'implied probability' is just a fancy way of saying 'how much sleep I'll lose tonight if this goes south'.

Position sizing is critical, but it's hard to get people to move past betting their 'conviction' rather than using a more systematic approach. Most are just gambling.

The issue with Polymarket, though, is that even "high conviction" outcomes are often just educated guesses, not certainties. Applying typical risk sizing models to something inherently speculative seems a bit optimistic.
