Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, 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/lucky-15]ladbrokes lucky 15 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 kalkulátor[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The design is pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]bet lay calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
