Our hedging calculator

Our back lay or hedging calculator, allows you to calculate your lay bet amounts and your lay liability. Hedging is a strategy whereby you lay off a back bet to minimise risk and secure a profitable position. It can be difficult to know how much you need to stake on your lay bet to create a scenario where either outcome produces the same result. Our lay bet calculator does this for and factors in the commission that betting exchanges like Betfair charge.
