Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
