So — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]odds calculator matched betting[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference is the more serious tools. There’s an probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The design looks a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
