So — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m based in the UK, generally do football and horses, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was genuinely pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting profit calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The design is a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
