So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no vig odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design is pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
