So — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]bet accumulator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bets calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really changed how I bet is the more serious extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design feels pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
