Right — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout feels a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference is the geekier tools. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface is a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — 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 say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator sports betting[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. The probability converter that shows the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design looks pretty plain — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
