Right — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never get my head round what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee calculator bet[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me was the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability converter that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface looks pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, works. If you honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
