Right — been on this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. I’m in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]work out single bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me were the more serious bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. Its layout looks a bit basic — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w return would be with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/betting-margin]pinnacle margin calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a 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 spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is pretty plain — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
OK — have been messing about with this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you put in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]how to work out an accumulator bet[/url] — free, no signup.
What actually made a difference is the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it works although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
