Understanding Market Mechanics

​
How Prediction Markets Work

Prediction markets aggregate collective wisdom by allowing users to trade on event outcomes. Each market has two outcomes:
  • Yes shares: Represent belief the event will happen
  • No shares: Represent belief the event won’t happen
The price of each share reflects the market’s collective probability estimate.

​
Example Market

Question: “Will the Warriors win the NBA championship?”
  • Yes shares: Currently trading at $0.65 (65% probability)
  • No shares: Currently trading at $0.35 (35% probability)
If you believe the Warriors have a 70% chance, you’d buy Yes shares at $0.65, expecting them to rise.
