Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion calculator sports betting[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. The implied probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
