So — been on this thing for maybe six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, 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 shows profit and total return with no faffing, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/double]double bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks very functional, let’s say — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but 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. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, 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 returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]work out lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference is the geekier tools. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
