Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows profit and total return instantly, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]oddsmatcher calculator free[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that actually changed how I bet is the nerdier bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you the overround, and a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The design is pretty plain — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it’s fine though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. If you still adds it up in their head, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
