So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]ladbrokes bet calculator lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference were the more serious extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee calculator bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
