Hedge bet calculator
How this calculator works
Hedging a bet means placing a stake 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 profittt or reduce massimu loss regardless of which outcome occurs.
For the "lock in equal profittt" mode, the calculator finds the hedge stake that makes both scenarios return the same net profittt. The formula is: hedge stake = (original stake x original odds) / (1 + hedge odds - 1), which simplifies to: original win return / hedge odds.
Concretely: a 50-unit original stake at 4.00 returns 200 if it wins (150 profittt). To hedge at 1.40, the meħtieġ stake = 200 / 1.40 = 142.86. If the original wins: profittt = 200 - 50 - 142.86 = 7.14. If the hedge wins: profittt = 142.86 x 1.40 - 50 - 142.86 = 7.14. Both scenarios return the same profittt.
The "guarantee no loss" mode calculates the hedge stake needed so that neither outcome results in a loss. This is the break-even hedge. For the example above, any hedge stake that covers the original 50-unit investment while the original side returns surplus qualifies.
The "custom stake" mode lets you daħħal any hedge amount and see the resulting profittt/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 massimu 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.

Mistoqsijiet Frekwenti
When should I hedge a bet?
Hedge when your original agħżelion has moved significantly in your favour and you want to sigur some profitt before the avveniment concludes. Common scenarios include a futbol 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 stake on both outcomes, you are spending additional money. The locked-in profitt will always be less than your massimu 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 stake" and the last-leg odds as the hedge odds.
What is partial hedging?
Partial hedging places a smaller stake on the opposing outcome than a full lock would require. It reduces exposure without fully locking in profitt, leaving some upside on the original bet.
Is hedging the same as arbitrage?
No. Arbitrage places both bets simultaneously before the avveniment from separate bookmakers. Hedging places the second bet after the first has already been made, typically when the position has moved in your favour.
