Frequently asked questions
When should I hedge my bet?
Hedge when you want to guarantee profit from a winning position or minimize losses when odds have shifted unfavorably since your original bet.
Does hedging always guarantee profit?
Not always. Hedging can guarantee profit if your original bet is in a winning position, but it may only minimize losses in other situations.
What's the downside of hedging bets?
Hedging reduces your maximum potential profit in exchange for reduced risk. You sacrifice upside potential for guaranteed returns or loss minimization.
