Part 3/7:
Here's how it works in simple terms: You look at the list of upcoming events shown on the Poly Market homepage, which could be anything from "Is it going to rain in New York City tomorrow?" to "Who's going to win the next presidential election?" You choose an event that you're interested in and predict the outcome. For example, you might think it's going to rain in New York City tomorrow. To make the bet, you buy shares in the outcome you believe will happen. If your prediction turns out to be correct, you can sell your shares for a profit. If you're wrong, you lose the money you spent on those shares.
