the numbers on polymarket's buttons have always been confusing to me.

it presents the price per outcome you want to bet, which is the least useful information, imho.

i always feel embarrassed by how much time it takes to realize that the price per bet corresponds to the percent of that outcome (i.e. 64¢ means 64% odds).

i also have no desire to think about betting in terms of "shares." i just want to bet $100 on yes or no and quickly determine how much i'd make if i win.

which of these button patterns accomplishes that?

thought you posted a screenshot lol, felt like they have those bright green buttons all over the place

having % in is a bit better but too small of a detail I think, and how you can see below % isn't always exactly what's the cost of getting in is

but if you want to bet X amount, you don't care how many shares you're buying

what I've figured is that it's easier to understand when you think about shares

so when you get, for example, 100 shares of something that's 0.69, you know you'll get a $100 back if you win and 0 if you loose

and if it's 0.01 per share, you just go for more of those shares
