So — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting matcher[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 quotenrechner[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier bits. The probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
