How Polymarket betting works?

Polymarket betting works through share purchases on outcomes. Betting process: Select market - Choose the question you want to bet on.

Analyze odds - Check the current share price (probability). Place bet - Buy shares in your predicted outcome. Hold or trade - Keep shares until resolution or trade them early.

Settlement - Receive $1 per winning share when market resolves. Betting mechanics: You're not betting against the house - You're buying shares that other traders are selling. Share price = probability estimate.

Profit = difference between $1 payout and your purchase price. You can bet YES or NO on any market. 60.
