Understanding Prediction Markets

Prediction markets, like those on Polymarket, function by allowing users to trade shares in the outcome of future events. The price of a share represents the market's collective assessment of the probability of that outcome occurring. For example, a share trading at $0.50 implies a 50% probability of the event happening. A share trading at $0.05, as seen in this instance, indicates the market currently assesses a 5% probability for the event's resolution in favor of the positive outcome.

When a market price `deltaPct` shows a significant negative percentage, it signifies that the perceived probability of the event's positive resolution has decreased substantially within the specified timeframe. Conversely, a positive `deltaPct` would indicate an increase in perceived probability. The `currentProb` reflects the most up-to-date probability derived from the market's current share price.
