Right — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and then be surprised. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly criterion formula[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that really changed how I bet was the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
