How this market works
- Prices run from 1¢ to 99¢ and represent the implied probability of the outcome. A YES price of 40¢ means the market implies a 40% chance of YES.
- Each correct share settles at 100¢ when the market resolves. Buy at 40¢ and, if YES is right, you gain 60¢ per share.
- Your trades move the price: buying pushes a side up, selling pushes it down. You can sell any time before close to lock in gains or cut losses.
- The AI estimate is an independent model view. When it differs from the market price, that gap is the “AI edge” shown above.
