OK — been using this thing for about four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com]how to work out a single bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually shifted things for me was the nerdier extras. There’s an implied probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are 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. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe four months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an ew return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator save the student[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the more serious extras. They’ve got an implied probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who even now does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
