Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]bet calculator super heinz[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]convert odds[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels a bit basic — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no app, it’s browser only — 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 even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]super heinz bet[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the more serious bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
