What is Hedge Calculator?
A tool that computes the stake needed to hedge an existing bet to lock in profit or limit loss.
Definition
A hedge calculator inputs your original stake, original odds, and the current odds on the opposing side. It outputs the hedge stake required to either (a) guarantee equal profit on both outcomes or (b) lock in a specified amount. Especially useful for futures bets that reach their final stages — you can hedge a World Cup outright after your team reaches the final. Free hedge tools live at OddsJam and BettingTools.com.
Example
Original $100 on Argentina at 12.00 ($1,200 potential). Final reached, opponent now at 2.20. Hedge $400 → $400 profit guaranteed either way.
