So — been using this thing for something like six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/super-heinz]bet calculator super heinz[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s fine though the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — type in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting automatcher[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really shifted things for me were the geekier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
So yeah. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
So — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could get my head round what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting profit calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the geekier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design is pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
