OK — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]odds matching[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually made a difference was the more serious bits. The probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
