حاسبة الوسط (Middle)

A middle bet occurs when you place two opposing bets on the same event where there’s a range of outcomes that would cause both bets to win. For example, betting Over 2.5 goals with one bookmaker and Under 3.5 goals with another — if exactly 3 goals are scored, both bets win.

It calculates the optimal stake for the second bet so that you break even (or lose minimally) if only one bet wins, while giving you a large profit if the middle hits and both bets win simultaneously.

They are similar but different. Hedging guarantees a profit regardless of outcome. Middling aims for a break-even or small loss on most outcomes, with the chance of a large profit if the result falls in the ‘middle’ range where both bets win.

Spread/handicap markets and totals (over/under) are the most common for middle bets. Look for line movements where you can get opposing sides of a game at overlapping numbers, such as Over 2.5 and Under 3.5, or Team -3 and Team +4.
