Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calculator double[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface is pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]what is a lucky 63[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If you still adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
