Right — been using this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting automatcher[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really made a difference was the geekier tools. The implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is pretty plain — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I 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 — type in stake and odds and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]vig calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability betting odds[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually made a difference were the more serious tools. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
