So — been on this thing for maybe four months now and it’s basically bookmarked at this point, so figured I’d write something up since a mate asked me the other day. Am in the UK, mostly bet football and racing, small stakes, so take it how you like.
How I found it was honestly a bit daft — I never could work out what an e/w payout would be with 1/5 odds a place. I’d just eyeball it and moan when the payout landed. Now I stick my stake in before I place anything, even a straight one-selection punt.
Their single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you put in stake and odds and it shows profit and total return with no faffing, fractions or decimals. There’s also the multiples — doubles and trebles maths, lucky 15s, patents and yankees, and that’s where I always got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/kelly-criterion]kelly stake calculator[/url] — free, no signup.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier bits. The probability calculator which shows you what margin’s baked in, and a kelly staking tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is terrifying. The dutch tool gets used a fair bit when I’m splitting a race.
Not all sunshine though. The interface feels very functional, let’s say — zero frills, which honestly I don’t mind but some will. On my phone it’s usable though the acca grid need a bit of scrolling. Also there’s no app, just the site — doesn’t bother me but worth saying.
Right, that’s me. Doesn’t cost anything, barely any ads, works. If anyone honestly adds it up in their head, try it — it’s saved me a load of arguments with the bookie.
Right — have been messing about with 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. Am based in the UK, mainly bet football and racing, a fiver here and there, so take it how you like.
What got me on it was honestly embarrassing — I never could figure out what an each way return actually came to once you get five places instead of three. I used to just wing it and then be surprised. These days I stick my stake in before every slip, even a straight one-selection punt.
The single bet calculator is the bit I open most — you drop in your stake, the odds and it spits out profit and total return instantly, fractional or decimal, doesn’t matter. It also handles the bigger stuff — acca and treble maths, lucky 15s, yankees, and that’s where most people I know got it wrong. Have a go yourself, it’s over at [url=https://singlebettingcalculator.uk/bet-calculator/lucky-15]work out lucky 15[/url] and there’s no login wall, which I appreciated.
The thing that actually shifted things for me were the geekier bits. There’s an implied probability thing which shows you how much the bookie’s taking, and a kelly criterion tool — I run quarter kelly as the full version is far too aggressive. The dutching one is decent when I’m covering two or three runners.
Couple of gripes. The layout feels a bit basic — zero polish, it’s clearly function over form. On mobile it’s fine but the lucky 63 breakdown are a squeeze. Also there’s nothing on the app store, it’s browser only — slight shame just flagging it.
So yeah. Free, no ads shoved in your face, does what it says. If anyone honestly works out returns on a calculator app, try it — saved me a load of « wait, that’s it? » moments.
