Understanding prices is the key to making money on Polymarket. Here's everything you need to know.
On Polymarket, share prices represent probabilities as percentages:
YES at 65¢ = 65% chance of happening
NO at 35¢ = 35% chance of NOT happening
Important Rule:
YES price + NO price always equals $1.00 because one of them must happen.
YES Price
65¢
NO Price
35¢
Example: You buy 10 YES shares at 65¢ each
💵 Cost: $6.50
🎯 If Correct: $10.00 payout (10 shares × $1.00)
💰 Profit: $3.50
Pro Tip: Prices change in real-time as traders react to news. Buy when you think the market is underestimating an outcome, sell when it's overestimating.
