Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]american betting odds converter[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
