OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how to work out a lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
