OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]novig calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really made a difference were the nerdier tools. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — 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 a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]online matched betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
