Right — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee bets[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. There’s an probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
