Étiqueté : single bet calculator
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an each way payout actually was with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]american betting odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me is the nerdier tools. The probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you even now adds it up in their head, give it a go — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for something like a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
The reason I started using it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever work out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — type in the price and your stake and it spits out returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the multiples — 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 lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]lucky fifteen bet calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
What really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. The implied probability thing that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. Its interface feels a bit basic — no polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, have a look — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d write something up since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m based in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an ew return actually was when the place terms changed. I used to just eyeball it and get a shock. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/betting-margin]bookmaker margin calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually made a difference was the nerdier bits. The probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is terrifying. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works though the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s nothing on the app store, 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 does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
