OK — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. The implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half 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. The layout looks pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, 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 actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky 15 ew calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference were the geekier extras. The implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface is pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
