OK — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting automatcher[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious extras. There’s an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — 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.
Couple of gripes. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
