OK — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]calculate yankee bet[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet was the geekier bits. The implied probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface feels 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 works although 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.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
