So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]outplayed calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. The probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface is a bit basic — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/double]double calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious bits. The implied probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
