What hedging means

Hedging means taking a position on the opposite side of a pick you already have, usually after the line has moved in your favor. Done right, it can lock in a guaranteed profit regardless of which side wins — though as shown above, it can also just lock in a guaranteed small loss, depending on how good (or bad) the current opposite-side price actually is.

How to use it

Enter your original stake and the odds you got on your original side, then the current odds available on the opposite side. The tool calculates the exact stake on that opposite side that makes your profit or loss identical regardless of which one actually hits.

Why both outcomes are shown

The whole point of the hedge stake formula is that both outcomes come out equal — but "equal" doesn't automatically mean "profitable." If the opposite side's price has gotten worse rather than better since you made your original pick, hedging can still be the right move to cap a loss, it just won't be a guaranteed win. Showing both resulting numbers side by side makes that clear before you commit to it.
