Right — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/implied-probability]odds probability calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. The probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky fifteen bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the geekier tools. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels pretty plain — no 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 make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk]single calc[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference is the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
