So — have been messing about with this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d say something since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, generally stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, for context.

How I found it was actually a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.

Their single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, either odds format. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where most people I know lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/lucky-15]working out lucky 15[/url] — free, no signup.

The thing that really made a difference were the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m covering two or three runners.

It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you even now does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

OK — have been messing about with this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.

How I found it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.

The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return straight away, fractions or decimals. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator app[/url] — free, no signup.

One thing that genuinely made a difference is the more serious tools. There’s an implied probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.

Couple of gripes. Its interface is very functional, let’s say — zero polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. Phone-wise it works but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. There’s nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.

Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of arguments with the bookie.

OK — been using this thing for about a few months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am based in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.

How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. Now I stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.

The single bet calculator tool is the bit I use most — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you want a look, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/patent]bet calculator patent[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.

What actually changed how I bet was the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator is handy too if I’m splitting a race.

Couple of gripes. Its design looks a bit basic — no polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.

Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, works. If you honestly works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
