Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really changed how I bet were the nerdier bits. There’s an probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
