When to Hedge
Three situations where hedging makes mathematical sense.
You placed a +400 futures bet at $100 and the team is in the final. Hedge the other finalist to guarantee profit regardless of outcome. The earlier you hedge, the worse the hedge odds, and the more certainty you buy.
Sportsbook sign-up bonuses ("free bet") don't return the stake if you win. Hedge a free bet on one side with your own money on the other to convert roughly 60% to 80% of the free bet value into cash you keep either way.
You don't have to fully hedge. A partial hedge (betting less than the full hedge stake) reduces your max loss while preserving some upside if your original bet wins. Use the Custom mode to dial in your risk tolerance.
They are three different positions and only one of them covers every outcome. A hedge reduces exposure on a ticket you already hold; it may or may not lock in a gain. The guide sets out the distinction before you size anything.
