1.075 decimal, -1,329 American, 93.00% implied probability
Buying at 93¢ means risking 93¢ to win the rest of a dollar. That is a payout ratio of 1.08 (decimal odds) or -1,329 in American notation, and it implies an implied probability of 93.00% probability before fees.
What a 93¢ share pays
Each share pays $1.00 on a win, so the profit per share is a dollar minus the price. On 100 dollars' worth of shares the return is 107.53, a profit of 7.53.
| Stake | Profit | Total return |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 0.75 | 10.75 |
| 25 | 1.88 | 26.88 |
| 50 | 3.76 | 53.76 |
| 100 | 7.53 | 107.53 |
| 500 | 37.63 | 537.63 |
| 1,000 | 75.27 | 1,075.27 |
Break-even and long-run results
Because the price is a probability, the break-even rate is the price itself: 93.00%. If your own estimate of the outcome is higher than 93.00%, the share is value; if it is lower, it is not.
| Win rate | Return on stake |
|---|---|
| 50% | -46.2% |
| 55% | -40.9% |
| 60% | -35.5% |
| 65% | -30.1% |
| 93% | -0.0% |
At 93¢ the market is confident: an implied chance of 93.00%. High-priced shares pay little and lose everything on an upset, which is why traders in this range care about the spread and about fees more than about the headline price.
Converting 93¢ by hand
Treat the price as a probability: 93¢ is 93.00%. Decimal odds are one divided by that, 1.075, which bookmakers would display as 1.08. American odds follow from the decimal price: a favourite, so −100 divided by (1.075 − 1) gives -1,329. In fractional terms the closest traditional price is 7/93.
YES, NO and the spread
On a liquid market the YES and NO prices add up to about $1.00; at 93¢ the NO side should be near 7.00%. Anything above $1.00 in total is the spread, the prediction-market equivalent of a bookmaker's vig. Enter both sides in the Polymarket converter to measure it.
Fees and comparison with sportsbooks
Fees, where a market charges them, come off profit and work exactly like exchange commission. At 2% the share is worth 1.074 decimal, at 5% 1.072. A sportsbook offering better than the effective price beats the market.
| Commission | Effective decimal | Effective American | Break-even |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2% | 1.074 | -1,356 | 93.13% |
| 5% | 1.072 | -1,398 | 93.33% |
