On Polymarket, the price of each side in a market represents the market’s implied probability. A price of 50¢ for KC on the moneyline means traders collectively believe there is roughly a 50% chance that the Kansas City Royals will win this game. If you buy KC shares at 50¢ and they win, you receive $1 per share — a profit of 50¢ per share. If they lose, those shares are worth $0. The same logic applies to spreads, totals, and player props: a lower price means a higher potential payout but a lower implied probability of being correct.
