So — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]heinz bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is 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. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for maybe a few 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 based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]49s yankee bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its 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 although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
