OK — been using this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator save the student[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me were the geekier tools. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
