So — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally 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 honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]permed patent bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me is the more serious tools. The probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
