So — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a mate asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the part I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting risk free bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What genuinely changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability thing that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is pretty plain — zero frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable though the acca grid are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me a load of “wait, that’s it?” moments.
