Right — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
