So — been using this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]ew bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really changed how I bet is the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
