Right — been on this thing for maybe five 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. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 calc[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — 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 stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious extras. The probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
