OK — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was 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 the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]football bet accumulator calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier bits. The implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how many bets in a lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet was the more serious tools. The probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]heinz bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really changed how I bet was the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
