Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds format converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout looks pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/patent]permed patent bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There’s an probability calculator that shows the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet is the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
