Frequently Asked Questions
Should I hedge the last leg of my parlay?
It depends on your risk tolerance and the numbers. Hedging guarantees profit but reduces your maximum payout. If the guaranteed profit from hedging exceeds your comfort level of potential loss, hedging is the rational choice.
How do I hedge a parlay on the last leg?
Bet on the opposite outcome of your final parlay leg at another sportsbook. The hedge amount should be calculated so you profit regardless of which side wins. Use this calculator to find the exact amounts.
