Understanding Prediction Markets

Prediction markets, like Polymarket, function as decentralized platforms where users can trade probabilities on future events. The price of a contract represents the market's perceived probability of that event occurring. For example, a probability of 0.0005 translates to a 0.05% chance. These probabilities are dynamic and can change based on new information, user sentiment, and trading activity. The `currentProb` value directly reflects this consensus. A significant `deltaPct` indicates a rapid adjustment in market expectations.
