OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odd converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What really made a difference were the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The design looks a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz with singles bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout looks pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]how is matched betting calculated[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier tools. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
