Right — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]49s yankee bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually shifted things for me is the more serious bits. The odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout is pretty plain — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
Right — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I never could work out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I’m on daily — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me was the more serious bits. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design looks very functional, let’s say — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
