Prediction markets like Polymarket allow participants to trade shares that represent the probability of an event occurring. The price of a share, which ranges from $0.01 to $0.99, corresponds to the market's collective belief in the probability of that event. For instance, a share price of $0.15 for the Cavaliers to win implies a 15% perceived probability of that outcome. A decrease in share price, such as the one observed, signifies a reduction in the market's assessed likelihood of the event.
