Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]betting converter odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet is the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/betting-margin]overround calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
