Étiqueté : single bet calculator
So — been on this thing for about four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an ew return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — type in the price and your stake and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly stake calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference were the geekier extras. The probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. The layout is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, just the site — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could work out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I type the odds in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I’m on daily — you drop in your stake, the odds and it shows profit and total return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]odds accumulator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely shifted things for me is the more serious bits. There’s an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, plus a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for about five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me the other day. Am UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I could never figure out what an e/w payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and you get returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the fiddly ones — doubles and trebles maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/accumulator]treble accumulator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really shifted things for me was the more serious bits. The probability calculator that shows what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too if I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its design feels a bit basic — no flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable but the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, barely any ads, does the job. If you honestly adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
