OK — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, which is where I always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 bet calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that really made a difference were the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its layout feels very functional, let’s say — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s browser only — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
