So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mainly 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 never could figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the part I’m on daily — type in stake and odds and you get the return with no faffing, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, which is where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly stake calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference is the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its design is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
So yeah. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — it’s saved me a fair few “wait, that’s it?” moments.
