OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]how to work out an accumulator bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
