A hedge is a bet on the other side of a bet you already hold, usually the last leg of a parlay or a futures bet. Sized right, you make the same profit whichever side wins.
The formula
Hedge stake = original stake × original decimal odds ÷ hedge decimal odds. Both outcomes then pay the same total, and your profit is that payout minus both stakes.
When it's worth it
Hedging trades upside for certainty, and you pay the book's margin a second time. It makes sense when the locked-in amount matters more to you than the bigger, riskier payout.
