So — been using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way payout actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]save the student matched betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. And no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
