OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/dutch]dutch betting formula[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its design looks pretty plain — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched bonus bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference were the more serious tools. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The interface is pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability betting odds[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the geekier bits. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
