Understanding Prediction Markets:

Prediction markets, like Polymarket, operate on the principle of collective intelligence. Probabilities displayed reflect the aggregated beliefs of traders based on the available information and their assessment of future events. A probability of 99.95% suggests that the market participants, collectively, believe the event (Over 3.5 goals in this match) is almost certain to occur. The `deltaPct` highlights the magnitude and speed of shifts in these collective beliefs over a specified period. Traders buy 'Yes' shares if they believe an outcome is more likely than the current probability suggests, and sell 'Yes' shares (or buy 'No' shares) if they believe it is less likely. This dynamic trading activity drives the probabilities towards reflecting the market's best estimate of the likelihood an event will occur.
