So — been using this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]treble betting calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The design feels a bit basic — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]how much is a 50p each way lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout looks pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]irish lotto trixie bet[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability calculator that shows the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
