Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]each way bet calculator william hill[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely made a difference is the geekier bits. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is pretty plain — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works but the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
