Price

In a prediction market, the Price of an outcome is also commonly referred to as the Odds. It represents the implied probability, or the market’s collective estimate of the percentage chance that a specific result will happen.

Prices always fluctuate between 0¢ and 100¢ ($0 to $1) based on real-time news and trader activity.

Example: If the "No change" market is trading at 95.4¢, it means the market believes there is a 95.4% chance the Fed will not change rates. If you are right, your 95.4¢ share grows to a full $1.00 at settlement.
