Right — been on this thing for about five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d say something since a lad on another thread asked me last week. Am in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never work out what an ew payout actually came to when the place terms changed. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in the price and your stake and you get returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. It also handles the multiples — trebles maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know mess it up. If you want a look, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]betfred lucky 15 calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the geekier extras. The odds-to-probability converter which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and there’s the kelly criterion tool — I stick to fractional kelly since full stakes are far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m spreading across selections.
Couple of gripes. Its layout is a bit basic — no frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, not plastered in adverts, does the job. Anyone who still works out returns on a calculator app, give it a go — saved me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been on this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, reckon I’d say something since someone asked me last week. Am in the UK, mostly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
The reason I started using it was honestly a bit daft — I couldn’t ever figure out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just wing it and get a shock. Now type the odds in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator is the one I open most — you drop in stake and odds and it shows the return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/double]each way double calculator[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually made a difference is the more serious extras. They’ve got an probability converter which shows you the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. The dutch tool is handy too for when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout is a bit basic — not much flash, it’s clearly function over form. Phone-wise it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s browser only — fine by me but worth saying.
Anyway. Free, barely any ads, works. Anyone who honestly does the maths on paper, give it a go — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — been using this thing for about six months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. I’m in the UK, generally bet football and racing, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
The reason I started using it was genuinely a bit daft — I could never get my head round what an e/w payout would be once you get five places instead of three. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now I punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a simple single bet.
The single bet calculator tool is the bit I open most — you put in the price and your stake and you get the return with no faffing, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, and that’s where I always got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it lives at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/odds-converter]odds converter sports betting[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that really shifted things for me is the geekier bits. There’s an odds-to-probability converter and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, and there’s the kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout is pretty plain — zero frills, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. On mobile it’s usable but the bigger tables need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — doesn’t bother me but you asked.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — it’s saved me plenty of arguments with the bookie.
