Right — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]free dutching calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference is the nerdier extras. There’s an probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface looks pretty plain — not much polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way treble calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. The implied probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]treble accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference is the more serious extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design is very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
