Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 calc[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference was the more serious extras. There’s an probability calculator that shows the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how many horses in a lucky 15[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
