OK — been using this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so thought I’d chuck my thoughts in since a lad on another thread asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly do football and horses, nothing mad, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly a bit daft — I could never work out what an each way return actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. Now type the odds in first, every time, even a simple single bet.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I’m on daily — you drop in stake and odds and it shows returns with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the bigger stuff — acca and treble returns, lucky 15 and lucky 63, yankees, honestly that’s where I’d always mess it up. If you fancy a poke about, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/double]double bet[/url] and it’s free with no account nonsense.
What genuinely made a difference was the nerdier extras. The probability calculator that shows how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly tool — I run quarter kelly since full stakes are a quick route to a dead bankroll. Dutching calculator is decent if I’m covering two or three runners.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface 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 usable although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. There’s no proper app, it’s a website and that’s it — slight shame just flagging it.
Right, that’s me. Free, barely any ads, works. 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 using this thing for maybe five months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so thought I’d say something since someone asked me the other day. Am based in the UK, generally do football and horses, nothing mad, for context.
What got me on it was genuinely a bit daft — I never could work out what an ew payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I used to just wing it and moan when the payout landed. Now punch the numbers in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator tool is the one I use most — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns straight away, either odds format. Same tool covers the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, patents and yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/matched-betting]matched betting calculator formula[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
One thing that actually shifted things for me is the more serious extras. There’s an probability calculator and it makes obvious the overround, and a kelly criterion tool — I use half kelly since full stakes are terrifying. Dutching calculator is handy too when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. Its interface feels very functional, let’s say — not much polish, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On mobile it’s fine but the acca grid are a squeeze. Also there’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me but you asked.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If you honestly does the maths on paper, have a look — it’s saved me a fair few dumb bets I’d have regretted.
So — been using this thing for maybe six months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, reckon I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me a few days back. I’m UK based, mainly stick to footie and the horses, nothing mad, just so you know where I’m coming from.
How I found it was honestly embarrassing — I couldn’t ever get my head round what an each way return would be when the place terms changed. I’d just guess and get a shock. Now I type the odds in first, every time, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I’m on daily — you put in your stake, the odds and it shows returns instantly, either odds format. Same tool covers the fiddly ones — trebles maths, lucky 15s, yankees, honestly that’s where most people I know got it wrong. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/no-vig]novig calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that genuinely made a difference were the nerdier tools. They’ve got an implied probability converter and it makes obvious how much the bookie’s taking, plus a kelly staking calculator — I stick to fractional kelly as the full version is a quick route to a dead bankroll. The dutching one gets used a fair bit if I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. The layout looks pretty plain — zero polish, looks like it was built by someone who cares more about maths than colours. Phone-wise it’s usable although the bigger tables are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, does the job. Anyone who honestly adds it up in their head, have a look — saves me plenty of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
