There are important problems in physics related to the concept of probability. One of these problems is related to negative probabilities used in physics from 1930s. In spite of many demonstrations of usefulness of negative probabilities, physicists looked at them with suspicion trying to avoid this new concept in their theories. The main question that has bothered physicists is mathematical grounding and interpretation of negative probabilities. In this paper, we introduce extended probability as a probability function, which can take both positive and negative values. Defining extended probabilities in an axiomatic way, we show that classical probability is a positive section of extended probability.
