OK — been using this thing for something like four 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 a few days back. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]coral bet calculator lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me were the more serious extras. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 calculator bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference is the nerdier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
