Étiqueté : single bet calculator
Right — been using this thing for something like a few months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d write something up since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly stick to footie and the horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way payout actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just guess and get a shock. These days I type the odds in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it spits out returns instantly, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where I always lose track. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting blog calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that really made a difference is the geekier extras. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent for when I’m splitting a race.
It’s not perfect mind. Its design is pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable though the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
So yeah. Free, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone still works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been using this thing for something like five months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was actually embarrassing — I never could figure out what an e/w return actually was with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d guess and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I open most — type in your stake, the odds and it spits out returns straight away, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the multiples — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]bookies odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really changed how I bet was the nerdier bits. They’ve got an probability thing which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutch tool is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. The layout feels very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine although the lucky 63 breakdown make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s browser only — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. Anyone who still does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few arguments with the bookie.
So — been using this thing for about six months now and I keep coming back, reckon I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, a fiver here and there, for context.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return would be when the place terms changed. Basically I’d wing it and then be surprised. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractions or decimals. There’s also the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, a yankee, honestly that’s where I’d always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://free-bet-calc.uk/bet-calculator/each-way]how to calculate each way bets[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
One thing that genuinely changed how I bet were the more serious tools. There’s an probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Not all sunshine though. Its design feels pretty plain — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it works though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. And no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does what it says. If anyone even now adds it up in their head, try it — saved me plenty of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
