Understanding Prediction Markets

Polymarket operates as a decentralized prediction market where users can bet on the outcome of future events. The probability displayed for any given outcome represents the collective belief of market participants, derived from the trading prices of shares.

A probability of 54% suggests that, based on current market activity, there is a 54% chance the New York Knicks will win the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and a 46% chance they will not. Prices are denominated in "shares" of an outcome, with each share representing a claim to $1 if the outcome occurs. A price of $0.54 for the Knicks to win implies a 54% probability.

Market prices can fluctuate based on new information, shifting sentiment, and trading activity. The "odds_shock" trigger indicates a significant percentage change in the probability over a defined recent period (in this case, 1 hour).
