Right — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, 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.
What genuinely shifted things for me is the nerdier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine but the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
Right — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com]free bet calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the geekier bits. They’ve got an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for about five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com]single bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually made a difference is the more serious bits. The implied probability thing that shows the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is a bit basic — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
