What Is a Hedge Bet?

A hedge bet is a strategy that allows you to reduce risk or guarantee profit by betting on the opposite outcome of your original wager. It’s often used in parlays, futures, or high-stakes bets. With the hedge calculator, you can instantly determine how much to stake to lock in a return regardless of the outcome.

How the Hedge Calculator Works

The hedge calculator betting tool takes your original bet amount, initial odds, and hedge odds to calculate the exact hedge stake needed. Whether you want to secure profit or minimize loss, this bet hedge calculator ensures your strategy is mathematically sound. It supports both American and Decimal odds.

How to Use the Hedge Calculator

To use the hedge bet calculator, enter the amount and odds of your original bet, then input the current odds for the hedge. Choose whether you want to guarantee a profit or break even. The calculator will provide the optimal hedge amount and show your potential outcome either way.

Using the calculator is simple:

Input the amount and odds of your original bet
Enter the current odds for the hedge side
Choose whether you want to lock in profit or break even
See the exact hedge amount and the potential outcomes for both results

This tool helps you make informed decisions quickly, especially when odds are moving fast during live games or final stages of tournaments.

Hedge Bet Example

Let’s say you placed a $100 futures bet on the Cincinnati Bengals to win the Super Bowl at +800. They’ve reached the final, and the current odds on their opponent (the 49ers) are -160. With the hedge calculator, you can calculate how much to bet on the 49ers so that no matter who wins, you walk away with a guaranteed profit.

Hedging Strategy Tips

Using a betting hedge calculator is ideal when your initial bet gains value – such as the final leg of a parlay or a futures bet nearing completion. Smart bettors use hedging to lock in value, avoid volatility, and protect large payouts. Remember, hedging isn't always necessary – but when used right, it's a powerful tool in your betting strategy.
