Right — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it shows returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting blog calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the geekier tools. The odds-to-probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works but the bigger tables are a squeeze. And no proper app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. Anyone who even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
