How to use the Hedge Calculator

Hedging means betting against a bet you already placed so you collect regardless of the outcome. You typically hedge a futures or live bet that has moved heavily in your favor (your team is up 3-0 in the World Series, your futures ticket is now worth way more than you paid for it).

This calculator takes your original odds, your wager, and the current opposite-side price. It solves for the hedge stake that locks in equal profit on both outcomes — that's the slider at 100%. Slide toward 0% to risk less on the hedge and keep more upside if your original bet hits, at the cost of a smaller guaranteed floor.

When the opposite side is heavily juiced, the math sometimes says hedging actually loses money — better to let the original bet ride. The result panel will show you whether a hedge locks in a profit or a loss before you commit any cash.

Frequently asked questions

To lock equal profit: hedge stake = original wager × (original decimal odds) ÷ (hedge decimal odds). The slider scales that base stake from 0% (no hedge) to 100% (full lock).
