Hedge
You've got a bet down and the other side is now available at a price. Enter both and this works out exactly how much to lay on the opposite outcome — to lock in equal profit, free-roll your stake back, or dial your own exposure.
Original bet the wager you already placed
The hedge the opposite side, available now
How hedging works
Hedging means backing the opposite outcome of a bet you already have, so the result is the same — or close to it — however the event settles. It trades a bigger maybe for a smaller certainty.
The equal-profit formula S · d₁ ÷ d₂
To pay out the same either way, hedge stake × original decimal odds ÷ hedge decimal odds. That makes both tickets return the identical amount, so your profit is locked regardless of the result.
Equal profit
The classic lock. Both outcomes return the same, so you collect one fixed profit no matter who wins. Best when the price has moved hard in your favour — a longshot now in the final, a live lead.
Free roll
Hedge just enough that the downside breaks even — if your original loses you walk away flat, and if it wins you still pocket a trimmed profit. You keep a live shot at the upside with zero risk.
Custom & the slider
Drag the slider to set any hedge between zero and a full lock. Hedge less if you still fancy your original; the chart shows exactly what each outcome pays so you can pick your own balance of risk and reward.
