OK — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky15 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference was the more serious tools. There’s an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]ew lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really changed how I bet is the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks a bit basic — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
