Understanding Prediction Markets

This market operates on the principle of prediction markets, where participants buy and sell "shares" representing the likelihood of a specific event occurring. The price of a share, expressed as a probability (e.g., $0.055 means a 5.5% chance), reflects the collective belief of the market participants. A probability of 1.00 (or $1.00) signifies certainty, while 0.00 (or $0.00) signifies impossibility. Changes in probability reflect shifts in this collective assessment based on available information and speculation. The delta percentage indicates the magnitude and direction of the change in probability over a specified period.
