Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie calculator free[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really made a difference is the more serious tools. The probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels pretty plain — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
