Right — have been messing about with this thing for about four months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and you get returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]accumulator odds checker[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
