So — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]fractional kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier extras. They’ve got an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface feels a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]accum calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet was the more serious extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
