So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, 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/yankee]super yankee calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks a bit basic — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]bet calculator double[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
