What is hedging a bet?
Hedging means placing a second bet on the opposite outcome of a wager you already have. It is most useful when your original bet is close to winning — for example the final leg of a parlay — and you want to guarantee a profit instead of risking it all on one result.
Enter your original bet's odds and stake, then the current odds on the opposite outcome. The calculator shows exactly how much to stake on the hedge and the result you lock in either way.
Frequently asked questions
When should I hedge a bet?
The two most common cases are locking in a guaranteed profit on the final leg of a long-shot parlay, and cutting your losses on a bet that now looks likely to lose.
Does hedging always guarantee a profit?
No. A hedge guarantees the same result either way, but whether that result is a profit or a reduced loss depends on the odds. The calculator shows you which one applies.
