OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]bet calculator heinz[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really shifted things for me was the nerdier tools. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design looks pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — been on this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]oddsmatcher calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]irish lottery yankee bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me was the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
