So — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am 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 e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]whats a super heinz bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. There’s an probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]what is a trixie bet?[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels a bit basic — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference were the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
