So — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]bookmaker margin calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me was the more serious tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
