So — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]4 fold bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/patent]patent calculator bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely made a difference was the more serious extras. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
