Right — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]betting percentage calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
