Understanding Prediction Markets:

Polymarket operates as a decentralized prediction market. The probability displayed for an outcome, such as "Newcastle United FC win on 2026-05-17," represents the collective belief of market participants regarding the likelihood of that event occurring. This probability is derived from the trading prices of the shares associated with that outcome. For instance, a share trading at $0.85 suggests an 85% implied probability of the event happening. These probabilities are dynamic and adjust based on supply and demand for shares representing each possible outcome, reflecting the consensus view of market participants. The `deltaPct` value indicates the percentage change in the implied probability over the `windowLabel` period.
