OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me was the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
