So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
