Understanding Polymarket Probabilities

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market platform where users can trade contracts based on the outcome of future events. The probability displayed for each market represents the collective belief of traders, expressed as a percentage (0% to 100%). A contract trading at 90% probability, for instance, implies that traders believe there is a 90% chance the event specified in the market question will occur. Conversely, a 10% probability suggests a 10% chance. These probabilities fluctuate based on new information, news flow, and the aggregated trading activity of participants. The market resolves to YES (100%) if the specified condition is met by the resolution date, and NO (0%) if it is not. The `currentProb` is a direct reflection of the underlying contract price on the platform, democratically determined by supply and demand.
