OK — been using this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]how to work out an each way bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious tools. The implied probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]free super heinz bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the nerdier extras. There’s an probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
