Hedge calculator

You have a bet that can win. Enter it and the odds on the opposite side to see the hedge stake and the guaranteed result.

How it works

The hedge stake is chosen so you collect the same total whichever side wins: original return ÷ hedge decimal odds. The guaranteed profit is that return minus both stakes. Hedging gives up the chance of the full payout, and the hedge price includes the sportsbook margin, so it costs expected value. See implied probability and the vig.
