Bet Hedge Calculator
A hedge is a second wager on the other side. This sizes the hedge so both outcomes return a similar amount. Hedging reduces both risk and ceiling.
Formula
Hedge stake = original payout / hedge decimal. Guaranteed ≈ original payout − hedge stake.
Worked examples
$100 at -110, hedge +120. Hedge stake ≈ $86.96 to lock a similar return.
FAQ
Should I always hedge?
No. Hedging buys certainty and gives up expected value if the original bet still has an edge.
