Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/implied-probability]implied probability[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — been using this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, 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 the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]each way trixie[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier extras. The probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The interface is very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]sports odds converter[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually made a difference were the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
