OK — been using this thing for something like a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me a few days back. Am UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]calculate each way odds[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that actually changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There’s an odds-to-probability converter that shows the overround, plus a kelly staking tool — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout feels pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
