OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]match bet calc[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. The implied probability calculator that shows the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/betting-margin]spread betting margin calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me is the nerdier extras. The implied probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
