OK — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]how to work out each way bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calc[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious bits. The probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
