OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, 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]working out lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious tools. The probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]ew lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
