OK — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]trixie betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier extras. The probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their 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. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]patent bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really made a difference were the more serious extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — been on this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]permed patent bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference were the nerdier tools. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
