Understanding Hedging
Hedge betting involves placing a second bet to reduce risk or lock in profits on an existing wager. It's ideal for futures bets, longshots, or when odds have moved significantly in your favor. For example, if you bet $100 on a team at +750 to win the championship and they reach the finals, you can hedge by betting on their opponent to lock in guaranteed profit.
