What is hedging a bet?

Hedging means placing a bet on the opposite outcome of a bet you already have, so you guarantee a profit or cap a loss regardless of the result. It is common on live bets and long-shot futures.

How do I calculate the hedge stake?

Hedge stake = (original stake x original decimal odds) / hedge decimal odds. That equalises the payout on both sides so your profit is the same whichever wins.
