The market is the average of all shares. Some shares are more risky than the market as a whole and some are less risky. The beta measures the systematic risk relative to that of the market. So a share with a beta of 2 has twice the systematic risk of the market, whereas a share with a beta of 0.5 has half the systematic risk of the market.
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on CAPM.
