So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/betting-margin]spread betting margin calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
