So — been on this thing for about a few months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, mostly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an each way payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always lose track. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]betting percentage calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that genuinely made a difference were the more serious tools. There’s an odds-to-probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutching one is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — no flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. And nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
