So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calc[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If you still does the maths on paper, try it — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/trixie]each way trixie[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, barely any ads, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually shifted things for me was the geekier extras. The implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
