How futures work
You place the bet now at the available odds. The bet settles when the future event resolves. Your stake is locked up until then.
Why futures often offer value
Pre-season futures markets are typically less efficient than in-season markets. Books haven't had as much sharp action to refine the prices.
Hedging futures
If your futures bet is in contention near the end, you can hedge with a same-side bet at current prices to lock in profit. Use our hedge calculator.
