Understanding Polymarket Probabilities

Polymarket operates as a prediction market where users trade shares representing outcomes of future events. The price of a share, ranging from $0.00 to $1.00, directly corresponds to the market's collective belief, or probability, of that event occurring. For example, a share price of $0.72 for 'Boston Celtics' indicates a 72% perceived probability of the Celtics winning in the market '76ers vs. Celtics.' If the Celtics win, shares resolve to $1.00. If they do not, shares resolve to $0.00. Participants buy 'YES' shares if they believe the probability will increase or the event will occur, and 'NO' shares (or sell 'YES' shares) if they believe the probability will decrease or the event will not occur.
