Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an ew payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in stake and odds and it shows the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]how to work out a single bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier extras. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent for when I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it works although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for something like six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]single bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it works but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
