OK — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w return actually was when the place terms changed. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — trebles returns, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig fair odds calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really made a difference were the nerdier extras. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The interface feels a bit basic — not much frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
