So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/dutch]dutch betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
