Right — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier bits. There’s an probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface is pretty plain — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
