To hedge a bet, to bet upon both sides; that is, after having bet on one side, to bet also on the other, thus guarding against loss.
Also producing a middling opportunity.
Example: In the NFL playing team A at -2.5 -105 and then finding team B at another book at +3.5 -105. Stats show that since 1984 more games end in a score difference of 3 in the NFL than any other number. Still not a large number though, something like 5-6%.
