Hedge bet calculator
How this calculator works
Hedging a bet means placing a ποντάρισμα on the opposing outcome after your original position has already been placed (usually after the original has moved in your favour). The goal is to guarantee a κέρδος or reduce μέγιστο loss regardless of which outcome occurs.
For the "lock in equal κέρδος" mode, the calculator finds the hedge ποντάρισμα that makes both scenarios return the same net κέρδος. The formula is: hedge ποντάρισμα = (original ποντάρισμα x original αποδόσεις) / (1 + hedge αποδόσεις - 1), which simplifies to: original win return / hedge αποδόσεις.
Concretely: a 50-unit original ποντάρισμα at 4.00 returns 200 if it wins (150 κέρδος). To hedge at 1.40, the απαιτούμενο ποντάρισμα = 200 / 1.40 = 142.86. If the original wins: κέρδος = 200 - 50 - 142.86 = 7.14. If the hedge wins: κέρδος = 142.86 x 1.40 - 50 - 142.86 = 7.14. Both scenarios return the same κέρδος.
The "guarantee no loss" mode calculates the hedge ποντάρισμα needed so that neither outcome results in a loss. This is the break-even hedge. For the example above, any hedge ποντάρισμα that covers the original 50-unit investment while the original side returns surplus qualifies.
The "custom ποντάρισμα" mode lets you βάλε any hedge amount and see the resulting κέρδος/loss scenarios side by side. This is useful when you want to partially hedge rather than fully lock in a result.
Note that hedging always reduces μέγιστο upside in exchange for certainty. The right amount to hedge depends on your risk tolerance and the size of the in-play price move since your original bet was placed.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις
When should I hedge a bet?
Hedge when your original επίλεξεion has moved significantly in your favour and you want to secure some κέρδος before the γεγονός concludes. Common scenarios include a ποδόσφαιρο team winning at half time and you want to guarantee a return regardless of the second half result.
Does hedging reduce my profit?
Yes. By placing a ποντάρισμα on both outcomes, you are spending additional money. The locked-in κέρδος will always be less than your μέγιστο potential upside from the original bet alone.
Can I hedge a parlay?
Yes. If the final leg of a parlay is pending, you can hedge the last leg on the opposing outcome. Use the original potential parlay payout as your "original ποντάρισμα" and the last-leg αποδόσεις as the hedge αποδόσεις.
What is partial hedging?
Partial hedging places a smaller ποντάρισμα on the opposing outcome than a full lock would require. It reduces exposure without fully locking in κέρδος, leaving some upside on the original bet.
Is hedging the same as arbitrage?
No. Arbitrage places both bets simultaneously before the γεγονός from separate bookmakers. Hedging places the second bet after the first has already been made, typically when the position has moved in your favour.
