Étiqueté : single bet calculator
So — been using this thing for something like four months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me last week. I’m UK based, mostly bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an e/w return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you put in stake and odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. It also handles the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, a yankee, and that’s where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
What really shifted things for me was the geekier bits. There’s an probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design feels a bit basic — zero flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it works but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. And nothing on the app store, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If anyone still adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been on this thing for something like five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me last week. I’m in the UK, mainly do football and horses, small stakes, for context.
What got me on it was actually pretty stupid — I never could figure out what an ew return would be once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. Now I punch the numbers in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I open most — type in stake and odds and you get profit and total return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, which is where I always mess it up. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-63]how to work out a lucky 63[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion calculator — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout looks pretty plain — not much flash, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — have been messing about with this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me last week. Am based in the UK, generally stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, just so you know where I’m coming from.
What got me on it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an e/w payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I’d just guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, and that’s where I’d always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/double]bet calculator double[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an implied probability converter that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly staking calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The interface looks pretty plain — no frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s fine although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
Anyway. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
