OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]calculate lucky 63[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way treble calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, 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 each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]bet calculator single[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels a bit basic — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
