So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference were the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]calculate a betting accumulator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference was the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for something like five 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. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]free super heinz bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference was the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
