OK — been using this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]ew calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference was the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface looks a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually shifted things for me were the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
