Right — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and then be surprised. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/no-vig]no-vig calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What actually made a difference was the geekier extras. The implied probability thing and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is a bit basic — no polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the lucky 63 breakdown need a bit of scrolling. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame but you asked.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
