OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]ew single bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference was the more serious tools. They’ve got an probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just 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 part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]free lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier extras. They’ve got an implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]each way trixie[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks a bit basic — zero flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
