Understanding Prediction Markets:

Prediction markets like Polymarket operate on the principle of crowdsourced information. Probabilities reflect the collective belief of market participants about the likelihood of a specific event occurring. A probability of 0.9995 means that traders, collectively, assign a 99.95% chance to a particular outcome. These probabilities can change rapidly based on new information, team performance, or shifts in market sentiment. They are distinct from fixed odds betting and represent a dynamic assessment of event likelihood.
