Right — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]converter odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels pretty plain — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
