Right — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]football bet accumulator calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
