Étiqueté : single bet calculator
Right — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely embarrassing — I couldn’t ever figure out what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/each-way]each way betting calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that really made a difference was the more serious bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter which shows you what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
OK — been on this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was actually a bit daft — I never could work out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you put in stake and odds and you get the return straight away, either odds format. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/treble]betting trebles[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks very functional, let’s say — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine though the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
Anyway. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, try it — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for something like four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me last week. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an e/w payout actually came to when the place terms changed. I used to just guess and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — type in your stake, the odds and you get the return straight away, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-63]lucky 63 betting calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability thing and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. The interface looks very functional, let’s say — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it works although the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
