OK — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was actually embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me were the geekier tools. There’s an probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If you still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
