Hedging a bet is a risk management strategy in gambling or investing where a bettor places one or more additional bets to offset the risk of their initial wager. The goal is to secure a guaranteed profit or minimize losses, regardless of the outcome. This approach is often used when circumstances change, such as a live event unfolding differently than expected, or when a bettor wants to lock in a portion of potential winnings before the final result is determined.

Absolutely, you've explained the concept of hedging a bet perfectly. It's all about managing risk and potentially ensuring a profit or limiting losses. By placing additional bets to balance the potential outcomes, bettors can adjust their position based on changing circumstances. It's a useful strategy for those looking to protect their investment or take a more conservative approach in uncertain situations. Hedging can be a valuable tool for both beginners and experienced bettors when used thoughtfully and strategically. It gives bettors more control over their potential outcomes and can help them navigate unexpected developments or shifts in the betting landscape.
