Hedge Calculator

Work out the hedge stake that locks in the same profit either way.

How it works

Hedging places a second bet on the opposite side so the combined position pays the same no matter what happens. The equal-profit stake is (original decimal odds x original stake) divided by the hedge decimal odds.

A hedge gives up some expected value in exchange for certainty. Whether that trade is worth it depends on the prices and on how much variance you want to carry.

Calculators show the math. The CappingAlpha rankings do the rest: every game, every day, run through our proprietary scoring engine.
