Polymarket – What It Is & How to Predict the Right Way

What is Polymarket?

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market platform where users can trade on the outcome of real-world events. Instead of betting, you buy or sell shares based on whether you think an event will happen or not. Each market is priced between $0 and $1, representing the probability of the event.

For example, if a market asks, “Will Bitcoin reach $100,000 by the end of 2025?” and the current price is $0.40, that means the market estimates a 40% chance of happening.

How to Predict on Polymarket

• 1. Create or connect your wallet – You need a wallet like MetaMask or Privy.
• 2. Add funds – Deposit USDC or buy directly using on-platform options.
• 3. Choose a prediction market – Select events like politics, crypto, sports, tech, etc.
• 4. Buy YES or NO shares – If you think the event will happen, buy YES. If not, buy NO.
• 5. Sell anytime or wait – Profit depends on the final result.

Why Polymarket is Growing Fast

Polymarket uses blockchain for transparency. Predictions often outperform traditional polls because real money is involved, meaning users must think carefully before making decisions.
