OK — been on this thing for about a few months now and it’s stuck on my phone, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me a few days back. Am in the UK, generally bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was genuinely embarrassing — I could never figure out what an each way return actually was once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and get a shock. Now stick my stake in first, every time, even the boring singles.
Their single bet calculator is the part I use most — you put in the price and your stake and it shows the return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. Same tool covers the multiples — acca and treble maths, lucky 15 and lucky 63, a yankee, honestly that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it lives at [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/yankee]yankee accumulator[/url] — free, no signup.
One thing that really changed how I bet were the more serious bits. They’ve got an odds-to-probability calculator and it makes obvious what margin’s baked in, plus a kelly calculator — I stick to fractional kelly because full kelly is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Couple of gripes. Its design is pretty plain — zero flash, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s usable although the acca grid make you pinch and zoom. There’s no app, it’s a website and that’s it — fine by me just flagging it.
So yeah. Doesn’t cost anything, no ads shoved in your face, does the job. If you honestly does the maths on paper, try it — saves me a load of dumb bets I’d have regretted.
Right — have been messing about with this thing for maybe five months now and I keep coming back, so figured I’d chuck my thoughts in since someone asked me the other day. I’m UK based, mainly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly pretty stupid — I could never get my head round what an ew payout actually came to with 1/5 odds a place. Basically I’d eyeball it and get a shock. These days I punch the numbers in before every slip, even the boring singles.
The single bet calculator tool is the part I use most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out the return instantly, either odds format. There’s also the fiddly ones — acca and treble maths, a lucky 15, yankees, and that’s where most people I know lose track. If you fancy a poke about, it’s here [url=https://single-calculator.com/bet-calculator/odds-converter]betting odds converter[/url] — free, no signup.
What genuinely made a difference was the geekier extras. There’s an implied probability converter which shows you the overround, and there’s the kelly criterion calculator — I use half kelly because full kelly is far too aggressive. Dutching calculator gets used a fair bit if I’m spreading across selections.
It’s not perfect mind. Its interface is pretty plain — not much flash, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s fine although the bigger tables make you pinch and zoom. 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 the job. If anyone even now works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saves me a fair few « wait, that’s it? » moments.
