Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz kalkulátor[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]how to work out a lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference were the more serious extras. The implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
