How it works
A full hedge sizes the opposite bet so that it pays back exactly what your original bet would. Whichever side wins, you collect the same amount, so the result is fixed the moment you place the hedge.
Hedging is most useful when the line has moved in your favour since you bet, such as a futures ticket or the last leg of a parlay.
hedge stake = original stake × original decimal / hedge decimal
if original wins = stake × original decimal − stake − hedge stake
if hedge wins = hedge stake × hedge decimal − hedge stake − stake
