Right — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, 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/matched-betting]matched betting tool[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could work out what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]working out lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the more serious bits. The implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
