Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 calculator free[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — been on this thing for about four 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 the other day. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]each way single bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really changed how I bet was the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — been on this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w 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 bit I use most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting finder[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
