Right — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since a mate asked me the other day. Am UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I never could figure out what an each way payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the one I use most — you put in stake and odds and you get returns instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — doubles and trebles returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, which is where most people I know mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/treble]how does a treble bet work[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What really shifted things for me is the nerdier bits. The odds-to-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 terrifying. The dutch tool is decent for when I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its layout is very functional, let’s say — not much frills, it’s clearly function over form. On my phone it works although the bigger tables are a squeeze. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, not plastered in adverts, does what it says. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saves me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
So — been on this thing for maybe a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally do football and horses, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never figure out what an e/w return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d wing it and moan when the payout landed. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — acca and treble returns, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/accumulator]odds accumulator calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
The thing that genuinely made a difference was the nerdier bits. The odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool is decent if I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its design is very functional, let’s say — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable but the acca grid are a squeeze. And nothing on the app store, just the site — slight shame just flagging it.
Anyway. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, give it a go — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
So — been on this thing for something like five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me the other day. I’m UK based, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I never could get my head round what an ew return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I’d just wing it and then be surprised. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in stake and odds and it spits out the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, a lucky 15, yankees, which is where I’d always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]each way lucky 15 calculator[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What actually changed how I bet were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m spreading across selections.
Not all sunshine though. The layout looks a bit basic — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On my phone it’s fine although the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. There’s no proper app, just the site — slight shame but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Costs nowt, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you still does the maths on paper, have a look — saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
