So — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. There’s an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, 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/yankee]irish lottery yankee bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz flag calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
