Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]double calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually made a difference is the more serious extras. The probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]single bets calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference is the nerdier tools. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, 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 ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]smarkets[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
