Context on Prediction Markets:

Prediction markets, like Polymarket, operate on the principle of wisdom of the crowd. The probability assigned to an event reflects the current consensus among traders about the likelihood of that event occurring. A probability of 50% suggests an even chance, while probabilities closer to 0% or 100% indicate a stronger consensus on the event being unlikely or highly likely, respectively. These probabilities are not predictions but rather derived from the price of shares in a market contract, where a share represents a payout if the event occurs. The 'odds shock' trigger indicates a substantial percentage change in probability over a short period, suggesting a notable shift in market sentiment or information flow.
