So — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns straight away, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/yankee]free super yankee bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/trixie]union jack trixie calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. There’s 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 far too aggressive. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me were the nerdier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
