Hedge Bet & Cash Out Calculator
Already have a bet running? Work out how much to place on the other side to lock in the same profit whatever happens, and compare it with a cash-out offer.
How to use the hedge bet calculator
Enter the stake and odds of your original bet, then the odds now available on the opposite outcome.
The calculator gives the hedge stake that leaves you with the same profit whichever side wins.
If your bookmaker offers a cash out, type it in to see whether cashing out or hedging leaves you better off.
Example: A £10 bet at 5.00 hedged at 2.20 needs a £22.73 hedge stake. You make £17.27 whichever side wins.
Frequently asked questions
What is hedging a bet?
Placing a second bet against your first to guarantee a result or reduce risk.
When should I hedge?
Usually when the price on your original selection has shortened, so you can lock in some of the value.
Is hedging better than cash out?
Often, because cash-out offers usually include an extra margin. The comparison shows the difference.
Can I hedge only part of a bet?
Yes. Any stake below the suggested hedge stake keeps more upside on the original bet.
