HEDGE CALCULATOR

You have a bet live and want to lock in a result. Enter the original bet and the price available on the other side; this returns the hedge stake that pays you the same either way.
The maths: Hedge stake = (original stake x original decimal odds) / hedge decimal odds. Guaranteed return = original stake x original odds. Guaranteed profit = that return - (original stake + hedge stake).
FAQ
What is hedging a bet?
Betting the opposite side of a wager you already have, so that you profit or break even regardless of the outcome. It trades upside for certainty.
How do I calculate the hedge amount?
Divide the original bet's total return by the decimal odds now available on the other side. That stake returns the same amount as your original bet.
Is hedging always worth it?
No. If the numbers lock in a loss, hedging converts a live bet into a guaranteed loss. The calculator says so explicitly when that is the case.
