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 the other day. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]what is a trixie bet?[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design is a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]bet accumulator calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels a bit basic — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
