So — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bet calc[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference is the more serious extras. The probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — been using this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]free super yankee bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design is a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
