OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]lay bet calc[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the geekier tools. There’s an implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]fixed odds calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the geekier extras. The implied probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mainly 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 work out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and you get profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion sports betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier tools. There’s an probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels pretty plain — no flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
