So — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]betting odds converter calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier bits. The odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz buchmacher[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference was the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
