Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]ladbrokes bet calculator lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier bits. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]ew trixie[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. The implied probability converter which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
