Hedging
Industry and product terms
Definition
Placing a second bet against your own position to lock in a smaller guaranteed result. Legitimate as risk management, and also a common escalation route: hedging a parlay usually means placing more bets, not fewer.

Additional citation research
The original definition and sourcing warnings are retained. These sources support only the claims identified below, not necessarily the full entry.
Remaining evidence gap: No authoritative or peer-reviewed citation currently supports the definition. It remains industry usage, and guaranteed result, legitimate, and escalation-pathway claims are unsupported; a second wager can reduce risk without guaranteeing a result.
