Understanding Polymarket Probabilities

Polymarket is a prediction market platform where users trade shares representing the probability of future events. The price of a 'YES' share, ranging from $0.00 to $1.00, directly reflects the market's perceived probability of an event occurring. For example, a share price of $0.315 (or 31.5 cents) indicates a 31.5% perceived chance of the event happening. A higher share price suggests a greater likelihood, while a lower price indicates a reduced likelihood. These probabilities are dynamic and fluctuate based on trading activity, which itself is driven by participants' interpretation of new information and market sentiment. The market resolves at $1.00 if the event occurs and $0.00 if it does not.
