So — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread 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 actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]acca bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really made a difference were the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
