So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always lose track. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]horse racing accumulator calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing which shows you the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The design feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
