Right — been on this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually changed how I bet is the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The design feels pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now adds it up in their head, try it — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
