Understanding Prediction Markets:

Prediction markets, such as Polymarket, function as decentralized platforms where users can trade contracts based on the outcome of future events. The price of a contract reflects the market's collective belief about the probability of a specific outcome occurring. A contract trading at $0.50, for example, implies a 50% chance of that outcome.

In this case, the contract representing the Detroit Tigers winning against the New York Mets is currently priced at $0.012. This means the market assigns a 1.2% probability to the Tigers winning. The `deltaPct` of -51.30% indicates a sharp decrease in this probability over the observed timeframe (1 hour, per `windowLabel`). Traders adjust their positions based on new information or changing sentiment, leading to these probability shifts. It is important to note that prediction markets are generally unregulated and carry risk; probabilities are dynamic and can change rapidly.
