Understanding Polymarket Probabilities

Polymarket operates as a decentralized prediction market. The probability displayed for any given outcome directly reflects the real-time trading activity on the platform. A probability of 0.50 (50%) indicates that the market believes an outcome has an even chance of occurring. Conversely, a probability close to 0 indicates a low expectation of that outcome, while a probability close to 1.00 (100%) suggests a high expectation.

These probabilities are determined by supply and demand for the shares representing each potential outcome. When a market anticipates an event is more likely to occur, demand for its shares increases, driving the price (and thus the probability) up. When an event is deemed less likely, selling pressure can lower the price and probability. It is important to note that these probabilities are not endorsements or predictions of future events, but rather a reflection of the collective belief of market participants at a given moment.
