More About Hedging

Hedging can transform a speculative position into a near risk-free trade if executed efficiently.

Risks & Considerations

  • Odds can move rapidly-delay reduces efficiency.
  • Stake rounding may leave residual exposure.
  • Restrictions or bet limits can block full hedge.

Frequently Asked Questions
