OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m 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 pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky15 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious bits. They’ve got an probability thing that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]free trixie bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference was the more serious tools. The implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
