Hedge bet calculators are critical in sports betting, as they show you how to reduce risk.
Arbitrage betting, or hedging a bet, is a less risky approach to betting. It involves placing proportional bets on every possible outcome of an event (with different bookmakers) so regardless of what happens, you will find success. A sports betting arbitrage calculator, or hedge bet calculator, shows you how to hedge a bet and lock in a return.
Arbitrage exists because bookmakers set their odds independently. In other words, the odds on 1Xbet are not the same as the odds on Betway. When these odds get "out of sync", arbitrage can exist, which allows you to hedge your bets.
If you enter the Odds for any two-way market in the hedge bet calculator to the left, it will work out if there is an arbitrage opportunity and tell you how much you need to stake. You input how much money you are willing to wager on one side, and we show you exactly how much you need to bet on the other. It doesn't matter whether you are betting $50 or $500, our arbitrage calculator will show you exactly how much money you will earn with each arbitrage opportunity.
Our page has an automatic arbitrage calculator built in, so you can quickly pull up current arbitrage opportunities and determine exactly how much to get on each side before the lines, or odds, change.
