OK — been on this thing for maybe 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 last week. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an ew payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, 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/each-way]each way double calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. The probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
