So — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — 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. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bonus bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious extras. The probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]betting super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
